Enduring renewal

Wow, so much has happened in the past few months. Hebrews 11:1 has always amazed me for it's simplicity - "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Have struggled painfully with the last part for the past few years, now, the focus has been shifted to the first part of the verse.

And if I were to draw the line between these two periods of time, I'd draw the line, around the past few weeks.

It's been often said that Christianity is more of a lifestyle rather than a religon. The question is, what do I hope for in life? A tough question to consider, especially in light of the questions raised these few weeks by Pastor Jeff, as well as Claramae.

I think the "two track life" syndrome is something prevalent amongst Christians.. for me, that two track life has been that of, shutting myself within church and being myself outside of it. Now, I'm starting the uncertain process of uniting these two tracks of my life together. Volunteered for ushering, think I will start next week. Looking forward to it ^^

As my priorities change, and as I start to think seriously of what I want to do with my life outside of NUS, I realize that it will be a challenging one and a half years ahead. Much like climbing a mountain, and reaching the small summit; the view of the climb ahead is daunting indeed.

Yet, I cherish the view that I have from this small summit =)
