A little break away
Finally taking a break from work. its that time of the year that ill be channeling my focus from work to the books. 10 full days off just to concentrate.
its gonna be a tough week ahead i imagine. Im still contemplating if i can make it for the confi retreat this sat afternoon. I guess i should know the answer already. Fact is, i somehow feel that my preparation for the upcoming exams seems to be rather choppy, sometimes i just have the feeling that im not putting in enough effort. There's work duties, school commitments, church formation and family obligations i need to attend to. Now with an addition of a special someone in my life, i feel that time is the factor, but the beauty of it is, HE always gives me ample time for all of them. i guess this is what they call a fulfilling life, where fatigue from all this just doesn't seem to matter at all. Maybe this is what they call satisfaction where no amount of treasure could ever replace this level of contentment. I just wanna say. Thanks.
After reflecting on today's reading on the Lk 12:13-21, something struck me deeply, "God said to him,"You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?' Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God" After reading this passage a second time, it just reminds me of how we live our life, how caught up with what we think we need, especially work, trying to make a good living, trying to scale the corporate ladder, trying to achieve what we think will give us identity, to the point where we neglect what is most important to us. I believe we need to live our life as if it was our last day, and ask ourselves, what really matters to HIM. He does not judge us on what we possess, what we have achieved or how much wealth one has. What does our wealth consist of? Are we rich in the things of God?
Looking back, I really need to look into what really matters, the essentials of what makes us who we truly are. Our love ones, our gifts from God and those that he place with us. Somehow, i feel really comforted with just that.
