there is this old guy in malaysia who was not feeling well one day, so he went to the doctor. the pharmacist prescribed him antibiotic and thus told him "you have to finish them all ok, or you won't get better!"
so he went back home and finished all the antibiotic.. at one go.
he almost died.
when he was asked afterwards about this, he said "i am just following the instruction to finish them all"

this is a real story, no bluff.
when you follow an instruction blindly, by just doing the action without even asking why and how, you tend to get the wrong result.

i had a good talk with my boss this morning, it was a rare opportunity considering that she's seldom around in office. she mentioned about having purpose in everything that we do, especially at work. when we lose the main purpose, everything become monotonous, routine, administrative, boring, etc.. whatever you can think of.
why are we doing what we're doing?
behind all those typing and printing and checking stock, there is a meaning. do not come to a point that you come to office, just do do do do until you go home. it's not just about receiving pay at the end of the month... it's about enjoying the work! we are indirectly changing the lives of many.

the question is not just what to do. it is why we do.

when we are called by God to do certain things, we may not understand fully why and how, but at least there is the assurance in heart that God is there and He will reveal to us in due time. i know that there are many who do not enjoy the work, can totally understand it (i've been there) but i guess there is always something that we can learn from whatever situation that God gives us. i learnt a lot from my previous hell company.

why am i in this job? why am in this family? why am i in this church? why am i in this ministry? why am i in this relationship? why am i in this country? why am i living the way i live now?

last nite joe suddenly asked me some questions about life in adults group and church planting. when i asked him why, he mentioned that he just wanted to think about his plan in life, his purpose in God.
i guess nowadays more and more ppl are beginning to think of the future seriously. it's a sign of maturity =)
i had this same conversation with susi few days ago as well. she's trying to find her real calling in life.
i think i know what i want but i don't know what God has in store for me, there may be a change of direction. so... i will just live my life to the best today. let tomorrow worry about itself.
