Deadlines? Busy? No time?

It's been a very long time since I've blogged. I think it's mainly due to the lack of time to reflect. And I think that is a very very bad habit.

As my life enters the final stage of Polytechnic life, it seems that time is a rare commodity. Life becomes more hectic and busy, schedules are tighter than usual. It is at this point where reflection seems so less significant to me. With this significant drop in reflections, I sensed the decrement of my spiritual awareness too.

I am melancholic by nature (that means I usually reflect and think a lot). In my first 2 years in Poly, I think a lot. Every time I am on a bus, eating, or even in the school toilet, I would think deeply. And the heaviest part of my reflection is when I am having my bath. For me, bath times are reflection stations.

But in this year, I realized the drop in initiation for my daily reflection. It seems so different when I don't reflect on my daily journey with people around me, and God. Without it, I might even cause myself to sin. I wouldn't want this to happen. I want to be righteous before God. And this is when I decided to do something about it.

Just 2 days ago, I specifically bought a blue journal for my quiet time and for my reflections. This book is meant for penning down my thoughts and feelings over situations in my life. In the first page of the journal, I wrote down the sins that I've committed in that day (It was a long list...). And in the following day, I aim to decrease the number on that list.

Sounds like a good deal to me. I learnt something from this- don't let anything stop you from hindering your spiritual walk with God, even if tight schedules doesn't allow you to. It takes deliberate effort to groom your spiritual walk.
