It was my favourite weather today - sunny day. Despite the oven-like heat, I enjoyed the sensation in my skin with much delight as the sun rays pierced through my bare skin. After morning mass, I had a lunch with my church gang at the cafe which was new to me. This time, I was treating myself well as I feasted on luxurious meal. Afterwards, I headed towards home to have a quick shower before I made a move to the east side where it was well known for its longest park. I had so much fun in the adventure as we went to hunt for the treasure. I really considered going on the adventure in the foreign country. In the soft evening, we had the barbecue. I believed that I had eaten a lot of meat as if I were the hungry meat monster. In the night, while the whole group was focusing on the new game they played, I found myself retreating to the beach nearby. As I relaxed before the waves of the sea, I found myself in the state of meditation and deep thoughts. The sight of sea inspired me to reflect on what God wanted to tell me. My mind replayed the story of Jesus walking on water and calming the storm. So my problems were like the raging waves of the sea and storm. But if I relied on Jesus, I would not have my problems "calmed" but instead I received the strength and courage from the faith to walk on the raging sea and through the storm. If I do not have faith, I will sink into the sea easily like Peter who became afraid and began to sink when he was going towards Jesus on water. By the time I find Jesus, He will calm the sea and storm. This was what my own thoughts implied. Anyway, I want to thank God for what He had planned for me today. Hallelujah!
"Nothing restrains anger, curbs pride, heals the wound of malice, bridles self-indulgence, quenches the passions, checks avarice and puts unclean thoughts to flight, as does the name of Jesus." - St Bernard
