Returning to blogging... returning to life.

Dear Mandy,



It has been some time... how has everything been? I somehow look at the truth that I am facing, and I cannot help but wonder when I grew up.

Yes. I wonder why we have to be labelled as adults. I look back upon the Bible, and I remember clearly Jesus calling us to have the faith of a little child. To come to him like one of the little ones... and I remember. I am technically called "adult".

But that's not always true, is it not? We call ourselves adults only because the world calls us to be one. It is the age where we pay income tax, the age where we go out to work, the age where we start a family, the age where we do everything that we should do not because we want to, but because we have to. And that is kind of sad. Then again, is it really?

I somehow think that with each stage of life we grow up in, we realise one thing... we change. We are exposed to new things that we have never been exposed to before. I mean... we get married, we have children, we start working, we get promoted. At one time in our lives, these are all new things that we encounter... and we have to approach them with a childlike faith.. trusting that God will guide you and see you through... because, let's face it... what you learn from books and from people only becomes real when you try it out.


I kind of feel that faith is something we will need to get through life.

And I am still musing.. =)
