Watch it!!
Watch it!!
Ever since semester begin, I have been immersing myself in books and more books, assignments and more assignments. I don't believe that I survived this one month and 22 days WITHOUT TV!! Believe it or not, I haven't sat down and watch a decent program throughout - not even the NDP parade. I'm beginning to believe that I have the making of a hermit ... haha.
I guess the flip side of immersing myself in mountainous piles of work is I begin to be very inward-looking, very SELF in many ways - after class if there's no need to stay back, I'll head back home and after a quick rest, head straight into my readings and studies. Oh ya, I still found time to talk and chat with mum, and find out if she's feeling alright and stuff, but the time spent sitting down watching TV with her is almost ZERO now =( all I can do was to ask her so what is the progress of the soap operas she had been pursuing, what's the news in town, who's the latest celebrity, etc, etc.
The other flip side is that Pal mentioned that I've become more critical in my spirit - towards people and towards things. Quite in the words she said, "Hey, you better watch it ya ... I noticed you've been rather critical towards people and things lately. Be careful!"
There is really some truth in what she said - see, that's why I appreciated Pal so much - she never fail to tell me the truth, knowing that this will help me improve in my character and building up virtues. As I think about what she said, I really have to admit that I have been more critical about a few of my classmates lately, and that is where I need to seek the Lord's forgiveness and ask for His help not to repeat or even allow such critical spirit to be within me ... it's just so easy to spot the speck in my fellow brothers/sisters' eyes and not seeing the BIG LOG that is in mine, isn't it? Mockery, mockery ... irony, irony ... I really need to watch my attitude and what comes forth from my mouth ...
Matthew 7:1-5 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
Thank God that He is a merciful, patient and loving God, who is willing to stand through with us as we struggle to learn all these lessons in our lives.
