Today, distance is tangible.

For the past 3 years, I secretly wish I own a teleport machine so that I could be on the other side of the world to celebrate the birthday of the greatest woman in my life.

To me, she is the greatest life example of love and sacrifice.

Missing you more than ever.

“Old books smell like grass, with a tang of acidity and a hint of vanilla, according to scientists who have discovered a way to tell the condition of an works by their odour.”

Not quite used to walking around without a camera in hand, definitely not used to not-snapping away during a big event. The death of my old-and-faithful canon digital camera a couple of months ago has changed my life, totally. It felt empty, and a little lost sometimes. I used to go everywhere with my camera, and would snap anything that I reckon worth remembering. It’s like an additional brain to my puny one, an external hard disk and extra memory space. I love being able to capture the best of each moments and smiles, or to capture the heartwarming, and the heartwrenching. I especially love pictures that reveal hope in a desolate situation.

But being without the camera, I have learnt to appreciate the 3-dimensionality of an image. I realised that there is so much more than what is confined.

The good old Mr Shakespeares would begin his monologue with, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players,” and we merely go through the stages of our life acting it out, and inevidently we are all audiences of another’s life. And the beauty of life can never be appreciated by looking only at snapshots of it. It has to be appreciated completely.

I was looking at a family picture of a dear friend in his black graduation gown, with his mum, brother and sister-in-law, and they were holding onto each other really tightly. The smiles and pride on their faces were so clearly recorded, and there was such a sense of happiness and celebration exuding from the image. One cannot help but cringe at how lovely the picture is. But yet, one would never have guessed that just a week earlier, they were coping with the loss of their beloved dad. Having the privilege of being there with them, I dropped a tear as I watched the picture being taken. Because I know the smiles represented much more than an image could represent.

Being behind the camera likens looking at screen shots of a beautifully directed movie. We could be missing out on the big picture.

Repeat after me!

For the past couple of weeks, I wake up every morning confessing Psalms 118:24, constantly reminding myself of His sovereignty and grace.

Coffee or tea, work or play. There are so many decisions I have to make daily, and one of the first and often neglected decisions is the choice to place myself in a position where I am ready to take on the challenges of the day.

and Today, again I choose to pray, and begin to look at my day from God’s perspective.

“Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass… it’s about learning how to dance in the rain.”

John 12:27-28

He has a purpose, a person and a time in mind for everything that He has planned.

And being in His almighty plans, I ought to understand that everything that I go through, there is a Reason why He chose Me to go through it at That time.

Our mind can never comprehend how God works in His mighty and oh-so-complex ways, but the closest we can get is to choose to have a relationship close enough with Him, to understand His heart.
