narrow 



Matthew 7 : 13-14
 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that 
 leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and 
 narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. " 

we were on our last session of Sermon on the Mount a few weeks ago and Kathryn 
brought up the narrow road. all along I've only had one picture in my head when I read
that verse. But then she brought a different light to it - perhaps the whole point of a 
narrow road is to leave no chance to deviate from you main purpose. It is a focused
journey with no room for distractions. That really stuck on me for quite a while.

My focused was always on the difficulty of the road and never the reason behind it.

it's March already?

love is a choice 

3 hours into our midnight morning LRC time, this phrase that Liz reminded me of from our weekend conference with Ps. Marcus popped into my head. He talked about the 
choices we make, not just in our love relationships, but also in the context of a sustainable church, how sometimes, being able to carry out a vision continuously to 
the next generation and so forth requires a great deal of sacrifice on our part. I guess, only if we choose to stay together can we come to a point where we can look back with 
a deep sense of victory and say "hey, look what we survived and came through". 

falling in love is one thing. but to be able to fall in love and still be in love 50 years down the line brings it to a whole different level altogether. and that is what i long for.
