Countdown

National Day is coming in less than a month! I am counting down to that day! I dare not say I am very patriotic lah but I still love my country. I thank God for placing me in this peaceful and prosperous country. Honestly, I have not been too keen to watch the national parade after that one year, the whole parade was a history lesson. I know a lot of hard works have been put into it but it is not the kind of thing that will attract nor boost my patriotism in me. Maybe the firework but the rest, hmmmm, nah.

I still prefer the firework. One year in my NS, I helped out with the fireworks and I saw the fireworks like fr 1km away. I just laid on my back and watch the sky being lit up with the colourful flowers of sprakles while feeling the trembles in the ground from the ignition of the fireworks. Wowwwwww.... That's the best firework I had ever seen in my life. After that experience, the rest of the firework display was far fetched from it. Hahaa! But it is still nice to go and watch with frens and closed ones. Haha! Especially when everybody start counting down and anticipating the fireworks.

As I talked about counting down to the firework, I couldn't help but think about relating it to our life. We do many countdowns in our life. As we count down, we anticipate the fireworks after the count of 1. But what if it is not a majestic or even a tiny winy display of fireworks. What if the ignition did not go off? What if the display is called off? Simply put, it never reach our anticipation. I guess somethings it is good to have expectation and anticipation but our focus shd not be just fully on the end product but rather on God, who is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. Put our trust and faith in Him. For if it is His will, He will open up the right doors, shut the wrong one, tear down walls so that the answer will be right before our eyes. Even if it did not reach our expectation or anticipation, we know that God is in control.
