The best holidays
I will have a 2 month holiday ahead of me after the exams. I want this holiday to be different.
I want to feel fufilled. I want to miss this holiday horribly. I want to make this holiday a difference. I don't want those "one-time" holiday, where you literally "waste time". I had been through that holidays before, so i know the boredom and uselessness.
But what want to do now is different. For most of the holidays, i regard them as "resting time", where i could stay at home, sleep longer hours, chat longer on msn, etc. But this time i don't want that type of holiday. That, to me, is chasing after the wind. I mean, i wasted a lot of my holidays not doing much. I realise how boring it is, and of course, i always look forward to sundays, not only because of church, but also , i got to do something. I could praise the Lord, a lot. In holidays, i surely had strengthened my friendships with my friends, knew more friends, and made more money.
But how good it is to make every day a sunday! As my friend tianyong told me, that he would want to pass the holidays doing evangalism, talking about God, doing further research, going for missions, and just do great things for God. As simple as the ideas are, these left not the faintest aims for my holiday plans. What he said is true. Very true. He would not regret nor take back another day, because he is going to spend his holidays doing things that are eternal. Things that could cause a huge impact in lives. Things that can make history. Not much in the book "history of the world", nor "history of singapore (revised edition)", but more for "history of God's work through men."
How much better is it to do one eternal task, than to do 10 temporary tasks? Of course, God never said that we should not do temporary tasks, and i didnt say that too. What it takes is to do something eternal, not to not do things that are temporary. God loves to see us enjoy. Like, playing LAN is something temporary. God never said that you cannot play games. You are enjoying, God loves it. It is great! What a difference it will make, if you just spend 15 days, each day doing something for God? The difference is tremedous.
So start and get going. Let your vacations be fufilling. Do it for God. How sweet is it to do something that is eternal! God's always behind you. Who says that he doesn't care? He cares for your vacations and holidays too! For you.
