Fishing requires lots of patient.... yeah....BUT Fishing at Hai Bin Prawning ＠Punggol requires not only patient but also feelings and guts... Feelings to feel the catch... guts to use your hands to catch the struggling fish out of the pond. And I did it this time, all by myself!!! :) (well... not that big one)
ermm... what mission is this?? what have I learnt? Any message?........... I wonder!!!
Importantly, I know it's a beautiful family activity and a wonderful time spent with my brother at the pond. Well... it too can be boring if we choose to look at it as purely waiting and waiting and no catch.
Therefore Advent as we know is about being patient, waiting and hoping for a catch....
How about turning it over... God is waiting and patiently catching us who are struggling like the fish until we are willing to let go and surrender totally to the catcher.
oh my.. that's too difficult... easier said than done...

Maybe it is not just "purely waiting and waiting". Advent waiting is waiting that is filled with love, peace and joy... just like those moments when you felt a tuck on the line, guts to "calm" the struggling fish and holding the fish you caught.
Like the idea that God is the fisherman. I think he is not just patiently waiting but he is one that is contantsly pursuing us with different baits. Only thing he doesn't do is to will us to the bait. He waits for us to see the bait though. Has he changed his bait for you?
