Where Art Thou

Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90:12)

Some say that the question for david is not:
"why did you sleep with Bathsheba?"
but rather
"why were you not among your armies in the battlefield?"
so it's not the question of "why did you do that?"
but it's of "why were you even there?"

But maybe, even more accurately.. it's not
"why are you here?"
but..
"are you supposed to be here now?"

Many times the question is not whether we are in the right place,
it's not whether it's right for us to be or not to be in certain place..
but whether..
it is the right time to be or not to be there.

there is time for everyting, it is said.
there is time for kings to rest,
but definitely spring was not the time for david to rest.
it was the time for war.

there is time for us to be seen in a pub or bar or night club, trust me.
there is even time for us to be absent from church, heh.

when we understood the limit of our days,
we will become wise, and we will know how to make the best out of every day.

i am guilty of many wrong decisions in my time management,
and many times, the wrong decisions led me to sin and failure to serve His purpose.

so i am sorry God.. for wasting the days You have blessed me with.
and i am thankful.. for the grace that is ever sufficient for me.

Hmm..

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...
