Happy 2011 and ready to fast!
Happy new year and what a feast we had last week!
I still haven’t figured out what to do this year but I know it begins with this word: FAST!
Take it literally, and what does it mean? Quick! Speedy! Zip!
I know I’m a slow-poke to death. I work slow. I eat slow. I think slow (still can’t seem to get some of those jokes on the spot), and I make decisions ever-so-slowly pondering away at the grocery store whether to get Apple juice from Brand A or Brand B because one says its 1L and the other 1,000ml and I need to compute in my head which one is cheaper. Plus, I think I oversleep a lot.
My new year’s resolution: To RUN! Speed up. Think quicker. Work quicker. Finish those projects faster (make faster money). And maybe, just maybe, really get serious about my health and fitness by actually running on a regular basis.
I also know time is running out and it is of the utmost essence (but I’m a lazy brat). I’m at the point where I’m already thinking of college for Tashi and Yeshi and I’m totally puzzled at how to provide that for them. Do they study on in Manila? Do we move to the Netherlands? Or is Australia or Singapore or Canada any better?
Lots more on my mind too for this year to come. Moving House. Buying a car. Changing career paths? Sticking to my existing career path? Getting a higher education? Starting a business? Forming a band (well, Acel is.. hehe)?
Its all a fuzzy blur right now.
I need some clarity.
I need to FAST.
This guy said fasting is like running. And he gave these 3 insights:
1. We fast to seek God’s presence in our lives this year
2. We fast to lose weight (letting go of extra-baggage)
3. We fast to focus on Jesus
I’m downloading this NOW to help me do all of the above and to figure things out for 2011.
If you’re reading this, feel free to download a copy too! I know a lotta folks worked hard on this over the holidays.
Happy 2011 and happy fasting!
