Filling In The Spaces
Since the last post, I've been slacking. Not wanting to dwell too much. Waiting for the dusts to settle before I re-look at them again. In-between, I've watched Pirates of the Caribbean part 3 and Shrek 3. Also saw A Japanese Story (Toni Collette's in it) on dvd. Lotsa food. Bedok Bar Chor Mee, Otah, Satay. Supper with Mayday (my friends are fans, so I accompany them) at Tiong Bahru, Japanese food. Ben & Jerry's. Gawd! they have discontinued Dublin Mudslide! I've just begun to fall in love with it! :(

I am still dealing with those issues that I have written last week. Nothing miraculous happened to take away those issues. They are still with me. In my mind, in my heart.
You would agree with me that nothing in this world is perfect. Not everything will happen the way we planned it, the way we anticipated it, or the way we want it to be. That's life, that's how God made it.
I've taken time to ponder those issues that have arose, and trying to measure my perspective of the happenings against God's perspectives. I compared my previous experiences with people and look at what I will need to deal in the present time. It came to my realisation that I have my own demons to deal with first before I take on the others.
So I am doing a double. Handling my own awkwardness within me, and dealing with the external issues at the same time.
It's sad to live in the reality that this world is a disappointment... The cruelty, sadness, harshness of men. If a normal human being like me is feeling this way, imagine the sorrow God has to deal with everyday, of this world that He has created to love.

As for the church issue...
I was reminded this week, that I go to church not because of the people in the church, but for fellowship with God, and to give out to others what He has given me. Human beings are imperfect, and focusing on their fault is not the sole purpose of being in God's community. Enough said.
Where there are none, I want to be the some. Where there are old, I want to be the new. Where there are disappointments, I sure can help with a little bit of encouragement. Where there are disruptions, I hope to a part of the party to make peace. If people are leaving because of people problems, I want to stay for God.
I like to be different :) I don't want to take anyone's sides but God's. Yes, it's true that sometimes when I am too lazy to make a decision, I go with the flow. But after so many experiences, it's time I see the needs of the people and follow God's flow.
I will stay. I will tell my friend my response to her comments after these reflections. At the end of the day, she will have to account to God with her decisons, and I'll have mine to account too.
Meantime, people problems ensue. We will deal with them one by one.
