back to work
i can’t remember the last new year’s, how i felt when i came back to work. but as 2004 ended, i carried forward a departure from my melancholic moods. and today is the first fourth of the year, as fresh as a bloom after a shower. a sobering thing, really. i kind of like it. kind of like a farmer, who sows into the land and toils… in preparation for the harvest. and when harvest comes, all is not in vain. so, becomes my anticipation.
there is an assurance of god’s love - a deep, personal assurance of who he is and of his goodness. it is very hard to describe in words, to know him. but it’s there, and it’s sweet. a good way to start the day.
this year, god has given us the declaration to release the old, proclaim the new, and possess the future, referencing from verses isa42:9 and 2cor5:17. just as god spoke creation into being, i should pray towards and believe for good things in my life before they happen. the only thing holding me back is my perspective on life. and last year, it was like i was having birth pains and it was hard to see things in its right perspective. so, thank god for the seasons. one ends and another begins.
a few things await cleaning (cleansing?). the old table in my room has to go. gotta work with mom to put new curtains in there. that impossible chest of drawers which may or may not be from ikea has to be replaced by the dalviken shelf unit i got that was on sale. new ceiling lamps. a bed for two small adults, and bed ‘clothes’. still trying to figure out where to dump all my junk that’s sitting in that old sideboard next to the windows. two boxes ain’t gonna cut it.
if there’s one resolution i should have for the new year, it’s to ride my bicycle *Queen song echoes*. one reason why i didn’t before was ‘lack of time’ aka. procrastination, and bad skin days, which was pretty much everyday. this year, my water heater miraculously refused to heat water, forcing me to brave cold water in the morning, which does some good for my skin. getting married is just another lame excuse. i hope to avoid lame excuses. oops. did i just make another resolution? oh well, resolutions are to be made whenever they need to be made.
yay… we’re going to get our own bus soon.
