I suddenly have 3 more Advent articles to write. Well, 2 now, since I just completed one today. An exhilarating work. I will never look at the genealogies of Jesus the same way again. Not sure how well my reflection will sit with readers though...
Work, a preaching service last Saturday, and meet-ups with friends aside... I have been feeling a little down and worn out lately. Heavy-hearted and disappointed by the randomest things and people. Envious of those who have the things that I want so much and yet, do not have. Resentful and vulnerable. Escape beckons. It promises greener pastures - which is why He has to MAKE me lie down in green pastures (Ps 23:2). These green pastures - they do not look green to my eyes for now. I hope that I would see them differently some day. Perhaps, I need a change of perspective. Those eyes of faith - have they grown dim? Open - no, reopen the eyes of my heart, Lord.
Well, I guess it's human. And it's OK not to be OK.
But how long, O Lord? Come, Thou long expected Jesus.
