Indeed, our life is clearly defined. Indeed living life is still a clouded mystery.


Some have life, they have complete mastery of life- with the destiny in their own hands, being a firm believer of reaping what one sow.
Some have life, they have it all to 'luck' and chance."- always banging on opportunities and fortune, trusting their well-being on 'luck'
Some have life, they are for predestination- almost convinced they are as good as they are borned to be, glorying in their advantages and toiling at their limitations.

Learning, I am one for all.

As the people around me, those in camp and those in church, got bothered and troubled over the dealings of people and relationships, I was obviously affected.

This had me thinking. No doubt the perils of it is that I will tend to 'lean on my understanding' (proverbs 3)

No problem on 'reaping what you sow' theory. It's that straight forward. Predestination works more on genetic, moral, social or spiritual make-up of a person. Not exactly easy to grasp, also not hard to understand.

What about 'luck' and chances? Interestingly, my friend in camp pointed out that 'luck' could be the closest thing to God (more specifically, God's will). When we can't possibly control the roll of a dice, when even the wisest don't know the outcome, that's when we see God is in control, literally. Yet such radical resorts are always the most difficult to accecpt.

Drawing of lots, leaving things to chance should always be the last resort, and solely for decsion-making only; we constantly need some overseer to do everything possible to avoid this resort-for it defies the law of 'sowing and reaping', it denies people of their 'assumed' destiny.

Seeing how my plantoon mate sort out matters regarding splits and how my chruch deals with things have many in similar. 'Luck' was the main actor in camp. Church is going to cling on Sovereignty.

My life this week seems rocky. With bumps here and there. Need to think (worry would be a better word) what exactly to study after army, given i was rejected by the local U's this year. Need to think (trust God should fit both) about the flaws, in my behavior, in my body, and dealings with life.

Thinking about taking stock even as half the year has already passed. A glance upwards and a reminder of the Cross sure put things in good perspective.

Life cannot be more complete and full, no matter how perplexing- when Christ is in the very center.

to love as He love,
in thoughts,
with words,
with actions......
