random sunday blog October 10, 2010

i think that deciding on an ‘organic’ blog was a way for me to stay lazy and not have to explain why.   when i started blogging i didn’t tell many people about my blog.  i decided that it would grow ‘organically’, without any advertisement or me telling anyone about it.  i wanted to see how many people would stumble on it (so far, not many, haha).  why?  well, i’m strange like that.  haha.

my days of anonymity are  numbered.  now i have dear friends harassing me  to update my blog.   (well, two to be exact.  you know who you are.  thanks to them i’m writing this rambly post as a stopgap measure.)

well i do like writing, the only problem is laziness.  haha.  i think if i wasn’t a music teacher i would have liked to be an english teacher who also wrote stories..  that took forever to get finished.  not sure if my tenses are right in that sentence.  it’s ok.  i’m a music teacher.

am i really?

everyday i see young people and children who do not know know that there is a God who loves them.  in fact, i spend a lot of time with them over the weeks and months.  in one sense, i’m their teacher.  in another sense, i’m like a beggar who found amazing food and feel this compulsion to tell other starving people about this yummy feast i’ve been enjoying!

i’m learning how to follow God’s timing, to know when to share a little bit of this incredible amazing life i’m having because of His extravagant love.  i’m not saying that i’m always happy.  happiness comes and goes.

if my life is anything special, it’s because i’m extravagantly loved.  everyone should live life loved.  i don’t fully understand it, but there’s someone who loves me simply because of me.   someone who cared so much for me that He gave His life for me.

but when the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy.

and

the Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:  “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving kindness.”

if you’re my friend and you’re reading this blog, chances are that i’ve prayed for you to know the kindness of the Saviour.  maybe you already know Him.  or maybe you and i have totally different viewpoints.  it’s ok.   i treasure each of you and your friendship.  thank you for reading my ramblings!  :)
