It has been a good one week especially since I am not so tired from the running up and down from work and also studying and no classes!!! =) I joined the Hostel prayer meeting in the nights and it is really good to be with them as it is so refreshing.

Over the week a good friend of mine ask me whether I was an idealist. I guess it wasn't asking but rather she thinks I am. I ask her what she meant by idealist and she said (paraphrase mine) that its setting goals that its quite impossible. Usually when she ask questions it doesn't get stuck in my head for days well this question however was and it just played in my mind over the week. (Glad she didn't ask me at the beginning of the week)

But I am glad that she did bring it up. It was a good question for me to reflect on my life and the things I do. One of those people that is good to have around. An intellectual person indeed. Anyway, today, right in the middle of service with the song Take my life and Let it be behind the background I am reminded that my God is an idealist and that it was alright for me to be one.

His ideals of wanting to have a relationship with man kind almost seems to have been crushed by the sin that Adam and Eve brought upon the world right in the book of Genesis. If we were around that time we would have most probably say there goes no solution to save mankind and that God's ideals has been thrown off board. (Rule : God holy can't be with unholy people just like oil and water don't mix) But He is the God of the impossibles and yes there is a solution that would rectify this problem that seems hopeless and far beyond repair that was sending Jesus to the cross.

I am not here to give you a sermon on salvation. I'll get to the point.

Yes I have ideals and she wasn't the first to have mention it. I had others who came up and told me to be realistic this is the world. No such thing as perfect guy (I wonder what they meant by perfect though because I can't imagine one perfect human being that has come across my life) to be married with and that life is not as what it seems and is going to be. The thing is that life is as it is. Hopes are there to keep us moving and motivated.

If something comes along our way that dashes that, it doesn't stop there - God didn't stop there anyway... So why should the same apply to me. Nopes I am not being unrealistic and living out of this planet. I just believe that even though things may not go the way I want them to be that doesn't me that my fate is doom and I should settle for something less than His ideals.

Just like the little boy by the sea throwing in the Starfish that was wash to shore one by one. A man approach him and ask him what he was doing and he said he was saving the Starfish. The man then told him that he would never be able to save the starfish as there is just too many of them and (I love the little boy's reply) "Well it makes a difference to this one" just as threw in a starfish to the sea. So yes I may not fulfill all my goals but at least it made a difference if it even had 10% of that goal being fulfilled.

I'll end with one of my favourite Sunday School Songs.

My God is so big, so strong and so mighty

There's nothing My God cannot do for YOU

The mountains are His,

The valleys are His,

The stars are His handiwork too
