Defining Moments
written at Tuesday, March 1, 2011
There are many things to think about. It doesn't matter if it's in the thick of busy-ness or when there's nothing to do, somehow some questions in life just seem to catch up to you and you start thinking about them automatically. But I guess having the space and time to digest, reflect and think about these things would help.
Being back in New Zealand after a 3 month trip to Singapore, it has given me some opportunity to piece together and contemplate on all that has been happening the last few months. I like to do random flashbacks as I am lying in bed, in utter darkness, or when I am lying down on the grass in the park. These flashbacks are somewhat fun to bring up. But even more amazing is that these flashbacks, when piecing them together in the context of your faith, makes it come alive and you realise how all that you have experienced or seen in the past can be added to one big journey of life. Defining moments? Yes. Realignment and reflection needed? Most definitely.
I remember watching a short video which captures the life-journey of an individual, from birth to death. At the end of the video was a statement made which had stuck with me ever since.
Life is made out of defining moments. May God be in these defining moments.
So once again, I am reminding myself, that in this new season, this new semester, this new year, this new period of my life, I will be experiencing many defining moments, moments that will shape my character, shape my perspectives. May God be in all of these.
Time to resume blogging.

Knowing
What matters supremely, therefore, is not
in the last analysis, the fact that I know God,
but the larger fact which underlies it --
the fact that He knows me.
