It's been a while since I last blogged. Been busy packing up my room post reno. It's amazing how much rubbish I have gathered through the years. Yet, I find it had to throw most of them away. Thinking back I really am grateful to God for all He has provided to me. If you asked me whether in the natural I could have all the things I am enjoying presently, I would have to tell you I can't. When I am totally done, I will post up some pics of my now furnished room. I love it.
Recounting God's goodness in regards to my present room, I recalled an incident my pastor shared some time ago. He recounted his life and talked about all that he desired, God gave to him. But he realised one thing after. All the satisfaction and fulfillment he thought "things" would bring to him did not deliver. I think I am realising the same thing. Despite my beautiful room, hotel-like toilet, 40-inch LED TV, Wii, etc, I realised it hardly brings me any excitement or thrill compared to last time.
I figure I have been through so much in life many "things" do not seem to matter anymore. As much as I am grateful being to have all these without going into a lifestyle of debt, it is really starting to dawn on me I want something more than material things. The next thing I can shoot for will be a car, but judging from the present circumstances, I will still feel as empty with or without a car. Of course, since I will feel the same way in either circumstances I would choose to feel empty with a car. ;) Smart right?
I hope I am starting to grow in wisdom. I can concur with the wise king Solomon who declared,: " Vanity, all is vanity." So what next, Lord?
