2 big questions been on my mind recently, as the exams approach nearer.

1)What do I want to invest my time in?

and

2)What should I invest my time in?

Jasmine mentioned on Saturday that we should spend some time clarifying our questions Christianity and God. It's quite true that often times we are bothered by some questions or problems in life, but yet strangely enough we are also unwilling to find the solution, or to solve the problem. I fullheartedly agree that it would be good to spend some time on this issue..

Which brings me to the 2 main questions that I'm pondering about now. Just like clarifying doubts about Christianity is an important (and good) thing to do, what other things should I invest my time in?

This whole train of thought was preciptated by my mom, interestingly enough. What should I invest my time in is a seemingly easier question, but just as vital as what do I want to invest my time in.

Frankly, I haven't got the vaguest idea what I want to do with my life. Which isn't very uncommon in general, but, shouldn't life be more than this? My mom has been talking to me about it recently, and I find myself agreeing with her. There should be more to life than this..

I had breakfast today with my mother today, and she was saying that she did a mental count in her head and estimated that she had probably 10000 days left to live, or possibly lesser than that (since she's around her fifties now). What a frightening thought - to be able to estimate a number and say "This is probably the amount of days I have left on this earth". o_O

Actually, there is a third question in my mind right now, but that one maybe I write about it some other time bah.

John 20:29 - Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

It's been a long time since I've read this verse, and Jasmine's sermon was a timely refresher for me.
