FOUR MINUTES HOLIDAY
…
I am in a boat bike, 1630hrs:
Moderately, Its_My_Time goes first in the playlist. Wonderful_wonder by Nathaniel reignites my love for Gods nature as
it plays next. Some kilometres away — is a dream of paradise; an escape from
the rat race, a perfect patch of sand where you can gaze at a calm blue sea
while relaxing under the rustling palms. Well, not all islands are created the
same. This is my new home. Here, I hide out in a luxurious over-the-water
bungalow and bask in my good fortune as well as fall asleep to the gentle slosh
of the sea.
It’s fun. As I cycle back to the
island, Roger Whittaker’ A Little Goodbye sinks deep and moves me to
tears…(chorus).
A little good-bye
A little I'll do what I must do
A little good-bye
A little I'll do what I must do
A little I'll do what I must do
A little good-bye
A little I'll do what I must do
The sundowns.
Every new day offers a
unique mechanism — a new change. A Laptop, internet access, food & power is
good enough to sort me for survival on the island. However, this calls for
adaptability and consistently reminding oneself that the stories we tell
ourselves change EVERYTHING we see. Once in a while, we enter an experience
with a story about how life is, that tends to be what we experience, even when
there's plenty of evidence to the contrary.
Thus, whenever you feel tension and drama building up inside you, do
your best to consciously detach yourself from the story you’re telling yourself
for a few moments. A quick reality check doesn’t hurt — step forward into reality. Hello, adopt a whole new game
plan! Look at things in bite-sized simplicity.
Hanging in the middle of the
island like a billboard — is my favourite bible verse “The lions may grow
weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing” It reminds me of how unexpectedly God answers. He might
not give everything we want, but he still gives us enough. God is enough.
In such a fast-changing
world, as we demonstrate adaptability and embrace technology revolution, we
must embrace God!
…in a minute or four my mind
got occupied by these thoughts. I slow down the treadmill and walk out of the
gym.
