what to do? what to do?


i think everyone will come to a point in their lives when we'll be wondering; 'Are we really doing what we really want?'
I know that question can pop up at different stages in a person's career and life but i'm pretty sure, it'll come.
And that's what I'm pondering deeply about.
What do you think? Do you think it's just ignorant for people who forgo their responsibilities to persue a dream of their own or it's every man & woman's right to do what they really want to do!
If it works out, PERFECT! but if it doesn't, well, then..... you can always go back to your boring job??

Corporations around the world are placing billions of dollars into areas of training, HR, recreation, fostering strong family ties, etc, all in the name of "satisfying" the job satisfactions of their employees and most importantly retaining them. BUT the ironic side of this picture is that they'll want you to work exceptionally HARD!!! simply because you FEEL satisfied?~?!!
I mean..... come on........ if i'm really satisfied with my work, do i need my boss to remind me or "make me believe" that I really 'love' to work for the company??!!

So...... like the 90's song ringing on the billboard charts, the lyrics faithfully read, ' So i wanna know........ should i stay or should I go............................'

Takes 2 hands to clap


Tonight, i prayed with my beautiful wife about the will of God in our lives.
And i have to say that it was definitely one of our longer prayer times together. We were simply just longing desperately to dwell in His awesome presence for some time now.
What started the chain of "seeking God's will" episode these few days in our lives was really drawn from a hunger deep within our hearts to know His marvelous plans for us. Since we got married, we've been pretty much sitting on the idea of doing missionary work and being out there in "the fields". We, somehow, lost that urge and desire and we've realized how attached we've become with our work and the routines of life's worries like the new apartment, planning for kids & etc. And to put it quite crudely, my procrastination was pissing me off!

So TOP resolution (i would probably regard it more as a commandment....) this year would be................................. to prepare ourselves in EVERY possible area to work towards going out there! there you have it.... let's see when it'll come to past.

Something i read from the book by R. Arthur Mathews really inspired me. He wrote " that God's commands are issued from a basis of complete knowledge and perfect power, not form a calculated gamble on the chances of success. Because god's commands are never speculative or experimental, He is not required to formulate contingency plans to cover failure"
