Help

yesterday i was chionging for akicon, the night before for phoenix and akicon the night before the night before for akicon and tonight i have to finish one presentation+one A3 for urban design. my life. is. very. tiring. nowadays. thursday morning is now my site visit to mustafa (we are setting off at 6am)

i forgot to go for children's church last sunday. I think I am in trouble. I am so in trouble. my brain is degenerating. i can't even get sick or i don't have time to finish my projects. deadlines. deadlines. DEADlines.

Been reading ecclesiastes:

Ecclesiastes 3

There is a time for everything...(when I read it I snorted because right now I don't have time for anything other than my aki core modules) (but then I guess this is the time for aki core modules)...11God has made everything beautiful for its own time. he has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end. (Daddy likes to use this verse to explain how if we search hard enough we will eventually find God. Because eternity has been planted in our hearts, and we know what is true when we find it.)12So I concluded that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and enjoy themselves for as long as they can.13And people should eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of their labor, for these are gifts from God. (I wonder if I ever will enjoy the fruits of my labor haha)

17I said to myself, "In due season God will judge everyone, both good and bad, for all their deeds." (I liked this verse very much...I used to think of judgment as something quite scary, but this verse dispelled that: God will judge both good and bad...He is truly a just God, and I bet He likes to turn a little bit of good into huge portions of goodness, and leave the bad as it is. Which is the Kingdom of Heaven, as mom is wont to say.)

18Then I realized that God allows people to continue in their sinful ways so he can test them. That way, they can see for themselves that they are no better than animals...22So I saw that there is nothing better for people than to be happy in their work. That is why they are here! No one will bring them back from death to enjoy life in the future.

This was written by Solomon, a very wise man. And I think what he writes is very relevant to our lives. Right now I am going through a very hectic period, and I do not seem to have time to do anything other than work and sleep as much as I can without compromising my work and fit meals in between. But as Solomon hints: if I just do my work and don't take notice of other things...am I not like an animal? And if I start realizing this, then I think about it...I am not like an animal after all...because I think of these. I start becoming aware (which is what art does...so art isn't entirely useless, though people like to think so)

As Solomon says, we don't find meaning in life through our multitude of activities. In everything we do, let us do it in ways that please Him, and with a good and happy attitude.

Well, I think I have to get back and ENJOY my work! Hahahahaha (wry laughter, for now...)

Actually my work is very enjoyable. There is just too much of it, and everything has to get done. I would love it if I had a week longer of time than what I have right now.
