Wrong Direction

Today I took bus 66 to Jurong East mrt with the plan to take mrt from there to Commonwealth mrt as usual for going to work. When I boarded the mrt, it seems strange that there are so many empty seats. I then happily sat down and relaxed.

Then, I started to think, is this mrt on the wrong direction. Apparently it is. The train I boarded was going to Bukit Batok as the next station…

This reminds me that sometimes there are certain things that are too good to be true. In this case, it was good because it went against the direction that I want.

So be careful.

Now I feel like I have fully recovered. I feel like I can generate many good ideas and think on my feet. I feel that I can solve many problems. Things seem to be quite smooth.

Perhaps it is the time to stand back and ask am I going to the right direction? Or is it smooth because I go to the wrong direction?

How do I know whether I go to the wrong direction? In the mrt case, I need to stop looking at my phone and look around both the electronic panel inside train and the board outside the window. In the life direction case, I need to stop and reflect.

I initially thought that as I recover more, I will write for 5 mins more regularly. Apparently it is not automatic. This is my first post of the month. Stepping back and doing reflection require discipline and effort.

So now is the time to ask what I want? Do I want to go the right direction? Do I want to be close to Jesus? If yes, then write 5 mins more regularly. Pray regularly. Read the Bible regularly. Share and give to others regularly from what we have, not from what we do not have. Heal others as a wounded healer and not as a savior. Only Jesus can be our trus Savior.
