Thoughts.
What has been running thru my head for the past few days?
1. Sophistication in our faith doesn't necessarily mean anything good. It's been too often associated with maturity, but i realized that in trying to be sophisticated, I'm being someone I'm not. There's a reason why the Pharisees missed out the Messiah, while the little children came to Him. I am incapable of sophistication. I am a simple guy.
2. The beauty of a quiet walk in the evening. It was a priceless moment, with soft rock playing on my mp3 and simply taking in the wind, the view of the blood red evening sky giving way to the cool night. Its moments like this when you suddenly seem to have not a single care in the world. The therapeutic effects of an aimless slow walk, with no specific destination, no aim in mind but to simply walk and relax. So often have I been rushing from point A to point B, trying to get things done. I don't want to just finish my journeys with haste, I WANT TO ENJOY THE JOURNEY! I want to breathe in the beauty of the moment, for I'll never experience those moments ever again. I want to take it all in, the cool night wind, the faces of people passing by me. To savor the cup of coffee and listen to the voice of God in the rain. Beauty of the moment.
3. I'm starting to detest the over-commercialized Christian music industry of a capitalistic system; a supplier-consumer culture that swallows us all up unknowingly. And its amazing how simple songs nowadays can speak so much to me, offer me so much solace than the noise I've grown accustomed to. Perhaps its time I stop contributing to Trumpet Praise for this time of my life. I need to refocus. Maybe this is the evidence that I'm getting old.
4. Opinions do not matter. Cliche, but we humans treat opinions as an extremely important thing, and as much as we say how we are unaffected by it, we still are affected by it. It takes discipline to make opinion not matter in our lives when we learn how to base our worth on something else than fallible human beings. I'm not used to treating opinion as unimportant. Bearing a kind of kamikaze attitude, I've decided to throw them behind in the backseat as much as I can, and just step on the accelerator.
5. To find yourself, you must first lose yourself. Ancient truth.
