I am awfully tired and I wonder why I just spent so long finishing an essay that is due next friday. I also wonder why it is I find joy in doing work, both those that need to be done and those that, eventually will need to be done.
Perhaps it is not joy but rather it keeps me busy because I know without something to do, I fall into this oblivious space and that would make me feel terribly emo again and I would probably start writing about my life indirectly – like now but then again not like now because usually when I do that, I never really use a first person view. I like referring to myself as somebody I don’t really know, and watch my own thousand of stories unfold into .doc and .rtf before my very fingers. And eyes, I suppose. Though I feel like I am getting blinder by the minute.
That is like a trap, I must warn you. Although it deceptively seems like an okay past time it is in fact a bottomless hole which is awfully difficult to climb out of, and hence this rotates and swings back to the importance of doing work.
Many say I have no life. I might have to agree partially on that one. But then again no, and its not because I like the satisfaction of making others wrong (you must remember, that honour only applies to a very select few) – though now that I think of it, that is quite evil but since that is not the point I am trying to make I shall think no further – but simply because I love what I am doing right now.
I don’t mean right now, right now. You know what I mean.
Even though at first, you may not like it – I certainly did not welcome the idea of working till my fingers bruised with ink – sometimes, you do what you’ve got to do. And eventually, you start to realise that in whatever you do, you do it for the Lord. And that is where the joy starts to set in.
It doesn’t matter what, it can be anything – work or play or ..uh work&play? Haha. You see, the great thing is not the joy found in the things we do, but rather the joy found in the Lord. These things are merely just channels, and in fact we should make every single thing around us that we do vessels of praise to the Lord.
So keep that smile on your face hahaha(:
In everything you do, do it in the Lord’s name.
