In this gray day, i am on my bed, crouched over my laptop and watching the cat stare out the window. i have the light on now, but i had put off turning on the lights the whole day, despite hating a dark house. saving electricity, i guess and it’s so unnatural for the lights to be on in the middle of the afternoon. The curtains wave in the cool breeze coming in through the windows and my toes are cold. I didn’t even feel the hours passing. Before I knew it, it was past four in the afternoon. By this time, i should have finished at least a full-length article and maybe even a blog entry. Should have.
Days have been going by so fast this past couple of weeks and i haven’t been making each one count– ask me how my week went and i would have forgotten the days like an unmemorable dinner in some restaurant.
“See, I am doing a new thing!” The Lord had said to his people in Isaiah 43:19. And for a while, it was like that for me. Each day is another change, another road to drive on, another meeting with people, but now things have settled down and i’m here wondering what i should be doing next. please don’t tell me i have to do the boring stuff now– stay in the house, finish the articles and press releases, finish up the room, file my paperwork, save money, study, and keep on teaching at the high school. but yeah, there some things i don’t have to hear God’s voice to know. be faithful with the little things to show myself faithful for the big things.
I suppose i could go out later to Makati, meet some more new people, try out a new place or catch up with a couple of old friends who are free for coffee. But no, i don’t really have to. There is time enough for that. I’ve spent most of my week doing that already and neglecting all the boring stuff that i still have to accomplish.
So now, as this twilight day comes to a close, i think i’ll make it count. Finish my responsibilities because i think that’s what God wants me to do right now.
then i’ll catch a movie at Robinson’s Imus with Josh later.
