Wishlist
Days have been unusually long this week,and somewhere between heart-to-heart talks with some people, doing a scrap book for a friend, insufficient payslips, writing a terminal report for almost two weeks, walking around the UP campus, and finding solace in God's presence, I find myself listing some of the things I want to happen in my life in the next five days, months or years:
:: Do something worthwhile with my free time (like, enroll for some certificate course elsewhere)
:: Learn web design, photoshop and flash (need a tutor, anyone?)
:: Get a really NICE laptop (CHEAP is nice, though we dont have enough money this time)
:: Buy a cellphone (it's about time, it's more than a month)
:: If i don't get to buy a camera phone, i'd really love to have a digital camera (my sisters wouldnt mind either)
:: Get physically fit and lose some pounds (go to the gym or learn a sport, er, badminton)
:: Spend MORE time with my family
:: Reconnect with old friends (highschool buddies, C3 people, ERG)
:: Have my hair relaxed
:: Have my mole (at the left part of my nose) removed (I've been thinking it is cancerous)
:: Get a job somewhere outside the country to earn more (read: Singapore)
:: Perform a special number at church (i.e, sing with my sisters)
:: Learn how to cook
:: Read another Nicholas Sparks' novel
:: Have another baby sister/brother (this is really impossible, knowing Mama is past the bearing age. But, remember Sarah and Elizabeth?)
:: Go to Bible school or Mission House ?!? (Mama has been telling me to prayerfully consider this)
:: Have a vacation (need it very badly)
Making this kind of list is somehow therapeutic. It gives you a chance to review your life and plan what you want to happen in the future. But more importantly, it reminds you to place all your plans in the hand of God and ask if it pleases Him. Real satisfaction comes in knowing that whatever I want for myself is a small deal compared to what God desires for me.
Most of my wishes involves a lot of money, hehehe. So I guess I should stop Dreaming....
..and start doing something already.
My work is getting monotonous and the monotony of it all became more and more real each day. I think i need a diversion. With barely two months left before my contract expires, I dont have plan to renew. It's not because the salary is low, and we don't have any benefits, and someone is not nice. It's just that, I feel like I can do something more. And that I can learn more. Far beyond the confines of this room and our office walls. I want to grow and learn and do something I love doing.
Right now, I'm not really sure what God wants me to do, but I'm postive that He has called me to be MORE, to do more - for His glory. For the meantime, I wait, and do the best that I can with what’s already here.
