I am trying to kind of change my blogskin but as usual, Im just a html idiot. heh.
These few days really changed my life. I am starting to think more and am pondering about what is the thing that really gives me purpose, where is my heart at in the kingdom of God, in this world? Affluence to Influence. I am convicted of that. Riches are tools to reach out, to love, to boost the lives of others. But no matter what pple may say (naysayers) haha, no matter what my parents try to push into my head about the importance of money, I do not ever want to find myself one day living for money instead of using money for a living. True, money's important and I do want to be rich but I do not want to hoard all of it for myself but to give to others.
When I saw videos of how the children, orphans in villages stricken with poverty do have dreams, I am impacted and so touched. Because they are just like anyone of us, filled with dreams and visions and desires for the future, just that their poor cirumstances are obstacles to their acheiving their potential. I want to remove some of these obstacles, to relieve oppression, to extend just a little love. To give what I can give. That, to me, is a life of purpose, a life of significance. (Not any routine, mundane recep job or even meeting targets in careers) There may be satisfaction in my acheivements, but it'll be definitely different from helping others acheive their dreams. God spoke to me before about this, and I kind of know where my passion, where my heart is.
I am gonna use these few months before I go to uni(by faith i proclaim that NUS is mine!) to create days of significance and to create significance in others.
Christianity is radical but its always the radical that do acheive anything substantial in the world. =)
