what makes the ordinary, extraordinary, i sometimes wonder?then other times, when the going gets a littler tougher or bumpier or less exciting, extraordinary momentarily ceases to exist in my vocabularly."how's your week been?" or "how're you?" is answered by the normal pause and then the feeble "oh, it's been ok. busy as usual i guess"but gah. what a weak, diluted response! it's like drinking a teh bing xiu dai gone seriously wrong. (but not as wrong as the salty one i had at 834 tho...heh) But the fruit of the Spirit is love...JOY.....etc. so where has JOY gone?then i realized what's gone wrong here. it's not coz there's a lack of joy or a lack of reason to be joyful, but i think simply coz i lose sight of simple truths - like the fact that I've a God who died for me, who loves me unconditionally, who blesses me bountifully, who smiles on amd at me in my silliest and crappiest moments, who desires that i be whole and that i live life to the full, who delights in me, and oh the list goes on. funny how easily we forget the simpliest, yet most foundational of all truths. as i sat to think about it this weekend, i realized what the greatest difference being a Christian has been for me - that my hope and joy and confidence about the present and the future are really not conditioned by present circumstances.how ordinary extraordinary is in reality - coz it's right there every single moment : ) how extraordinary is that!so, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
