Playing Me
Today I received a birthday gift from God. Time alone for self-reflection. Although I live a stone's through away from my KW social network, I didn't initiate any birthday festivities for myself. Instead I sat at home, semi-awaiting a surprise (I acknowledge the contradiction of that statement), and in the loneliness, I did some self-reflection. It wasn't particularly comforting reflection either. I'm not working hard enough at school or work. My dedication to the kingdom of God is often lukewarm. My desire for improvement/advancement/betterment of myself and my surroundings is weak to non-existent. My vanity and sloth are getting worse with age, not better.

God, purge me of selfish desire. Fill me with love for you, for the world you've created, and fill me with desire to further Your cause, which I have been following.

This blog is partially an artistic outlet, and partially a means of showcasing my thoughts, humour and achievements to cyberspace. As such, I am temporarily diverting only to the artistic element of "blogging". To do that, for the next little while, I will only be posting blogs in Low German. I'm not bragging about knowing another language, I'm not claiming the gift of speaking in tongues, I'm not trying to start a new trend. I am expressing myself artistically and improving my language skills at the same time. Thanks for being patient with me.
