my trip down to gardens
i think maybe i got a little confused with the reflection question, but it still helps! I wrote that living my life as a prayer means "Choosing and doing things I want in my life with the blessing of God, knowing that it's aligned to God" because that day particularly i struggled with the choices and decisions that i make for myself, that im aware its not always what i truly want. maybe because other people's needs are more pressing, or im just too afraid to do what i want? and its hard to find where God fits into this picture sometimes. so i just wish that sometimes i get to do the things i want to do, with the knowledge that God is supporting me. a little ideal situation in my head but yeah.
and in a way, i did get to do what i wanted. i went down to gardens, i deposited my cheque and i bought myself a pair of slippers. along the way i met greg and mark chong, so we had ice cream too. but i still managed to achieve the things that i wanted. so in a way i guess, living my life as a prayer means that amidst all the noise, i surrender my own needs and wants to God. to be comfortable with making choices for myself at times, and putting myself second before others at others, and perhaps the wisdom to know when to do either :) good session, should have more of these. hahahaha
love joel
