Finding purpose

 so just ended a call with John and some ELDP/YLDP people.


man, i'm really missing out on stuff back home.

why didn't i find anything like that to belong to in Auckland?


was it because of the life choices or the people or the...

nah, there's nothing to blame.


no one to blame except .. myself


i never found a community to belong to,

to build deep roots and establish myself, my family in.


hence, the dissatisfaction with life

the dissatisfaction with all that was good wherever we are


the struggle is real.


God why





why



its not You, its me.

I can't balme You

You didn't lead me onto this path,

it's one i choosed 



its the best yet

its a blessing from You


thank you, Jesus



for the wife, the kid, the job, the family the friends




least, people jsut be aquientences

only way to be filled

Matthew 5:6

this is so counter intuitive. or counter culture.

the world will say the opposite:
"indulge yourself in unrighteousness. drink your fill and some more, then only will that deep craving inside be fulfilled "

it will never be.

greed, lust, power, fame, fortune

one who gains things out of the pursuit of these vices will never be filled



hence, the verse.
as i ponder upon it more.
it comes to pass that the truth which it holds is this:

that the only true way to be satisfied in this life on earth,
is to listen to Jesus's words to longing for righteousness...

the path of righteousness isn't an easy one. majority of the people don't do it.

righteousness isn't just about integrity, holiness, or even perfection.

it's about acknowledging our fallen state, and the need for a Saviour to bestow upon us His qualification of being right before God.

seek that. seek the Way, the Truth and the Life.

the Good life.

missing hand gripper

I've misplaced my hand gripper exercise tool...

Last used it in the can..
Maybe it was on my lap when I open and jumped out the door... working late at night it's dark...

But I remember putting it in the door handle space...

Owh well..

Did my best trying to look for it
No regrets. I used it much...

It's just.. stuff.

Let there be no attachment.
