“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)  listen to chapter  (Read by Max McLean. Provided by The Listener's Audio Bible.)

purpose driven life

Avenue Q OST - Purpose



Motivation is like a kick in the backside. Most people need that kick to get moving. Myself, I probably need a million kicks. Unless it's something that really matters to me, then I'd need just one mega-powered-up-kick.



For a long time, I've been searching for something to make of my life. I found it last Thursday after prayer. As I was watching Andy coach swimmers at the pool next door, I realised that I miss the life of a swimmer. I miss having coaches yell at me from opposite ends of the pool, and I miss being constantly submerged in chlorine water 5 times a week.



So I'm putting this resolve up on my blog to let people know about it and therefore, constantly remind me to keep at it: I'm going to start training and go back to waterpolo. It's not the trophies or accolades that shape my resolve, but the fact that being in a pool is what I've always loved to do. I was cleaning my shelf yesterday and every trophy and medal I wiped reminded me of a life that I once loved, and still do. Even though all these things would fade away when I die, at least the present satisfaction of having a life well led and doing the things I love would ensure a fruitful life.
