21
had a talk with ma' housemate the other day...i'mma gonna be 30 soon. yea...then i got quite sad and did some thinking. this suxxors like undercooked lima beans. what will i accomplish getting an education and a degree or whatnot? a job? a career perhaps? man, meaningless...everything is meaningless!
a man's life is like a vapour in the wind, a blade of grass...seasons come and seasons go. then man will be no more. what will i do that will last past this life? why work so hard and spend so much time on things that don't really matter in the long run? why persevere thru the stress? why bother living a life of integrity? why study when i can sleep?
it's all about character. that's the bottomline.
"Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion for the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." [Ecc 12:13-14]
"In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work." [2 Tim 2:20-21]
The latter verse was the verse we did for devos during the Tijuana mission's trip. Oh how i wish i were there. it's truly the simple things in life that shames the complex. when you have nothing...God truly becomes your everything.
Let me have nothing Lord.
