felt really sian at work yesterday...i guess it occurs when life's lacking excitement.
went for lunch as usual and intended to catch up on some Bible reading at the library for the rest of my breaktime. bumped into my colleague on my way there...chatted with her for a while. when she saw my Bible, she asked if i was gonna read it later and afterwhich she mentioned that her son enjoys reading the Bible and always nagged her to buy Bible story books for him.
i naturally assumed he was a christian and so was my colleague. to my surprise, they weren't. and i asked if her son has been to church, and she said that he really wants to and would pester her about it but as his schedule is packed with tuition mon-sun, he doesn't have the time.
poor kid!
This really got me thinking. i've been a Christian about 10 years now and i struggle many a times to stay awake while reading the Bible and during sermons. yet, this 12 year old boy, a non-christian, who doesn't even have the privilege of going to church, enjoys reading the Bible so much he nags his mom to buy it for him.
he has something that i think i lack for now...and that is passion. i've lost the passion for a lot of things...not just in the aspect of Christianity, but even at work and life itself. I need passion. and i believe it starts with knowing why you're doing what you're doing. the purpose behind it all. :)
~Lord, you're my purpose in life.
