To be carefree.....

I can't wait to be away from the crowds n city.
Just wanna dwell n hibernate in some faraway place with little disturbance with NO handphone! :) That will be like .........PeaCeful! I thought that handphones r juz too disturbing. Imagine having dinner n ur phone rings. It breaks the ambience n feeling!

When i was young, i thought it's quite fun to run away or elope to some faraway place with ur loved one! U dun have to entertain anyone u dun wish to entertain.And u can juz b yourself! :) The whole world can't find u n u juz enjoy the time playing n travelling! Fun right? Then later, when i was a little older, i thought it's fun to be a missionary in a foreign land with no worries of materialism,juz doing the things u reallie wanna do, doing things that reallie matter, like feeding and feeding the poor. Well, i'm quite a carefree person n i hate to be burdened by the many many burdens of life.

Indeed, after graduation, i've seen too many carrying unnecessary burden upon themselves--the burden of material needs, of fame and power. In the process of seeking all these power n fame, perhaps they would have lost more than they gained. And some things lost can never b bought back. When u turn back, it may be jusz too late.

Giving up is never easy. At least to me. I pray that one day, iwill be able to carry my cross , follow Christ with the carefree spirit, casting all anxiety to Him. Indeed, God wants us to give Him our best, not the second best. Are we serving Him now with our youth, our most precious yrs?Or are we telling him we'll give him the yrs after our kids have grown up, after we have climbed up the ladder or after we got our first landed property?

" Turn ur eyes upon Jesus.................
All the things in this world will grow strangely dim"

How true is this.When ur eyes are on God,nothing in this world matters anymore.
Perhaps, only when we have our eyes totally on God can we be totally "so called" carefree from the burdens of this world.
