# Lights, Camera, Action!
The new year is here and for me, it has started on a low. Missed the outing with my friends, cuz i stayed back for a bbq, but it wasn't worth it. Hope my friends do get my sms or something.
Well, just some thoughts on the new year. Honestly, no resolutions yet except the Battleplans from INFACTION.
Firstly, just had these two people at the bbq, one was deaf/mute. She looks perfectly normal except i realised she used sign language to communicate and had a hearing aid in her ear. And just got me to think, with all the big plans we have, are we truly aware of the needs of the people around us that seem normal. People that seem to just pass us by without a second thought. People we would never reach out to, cuz they appear just like us on the outside. It took me like an hourinto the bbq to actually spot the sign language. Then another two hours to spot the hearing aid as well. How many years have passed without us realising what the people in our circle of influence really need..
Secondly, the other guy, he appeared slightly, to put it bluntly,retarded. He talks slow and has trouble pronouncing words. And i just had this barrier to reach out. With an action packed year in the making, will it be action where it's easy? Comfortable? When the people seem hard to talk to. Hard to understand. When they zig when we zag. They sleep when we talk. They talk when we talk. When things basically don't go the way we planned. Or things go the way we planned because we didn't choose to reach the difficult people.
Already I know it's going to be hard for me to keep to what I intend to do. It's gonna be full of difficult things to do. But like what Roland said, if it's easy, anyone ELSE can do it. So yeah, I'm gonna go at it with all I've got. Paddling a boat in the middle of the ocean, and even if i'm the last guy on board and everyone else has given up, I'm still gonna keep paddling. Pushing myseld for it and I know my God will take notice. God will see little me all alone struggling the crushing waves in the ocean and He will choose to intervene. When He takes notice of me, my Saviour will just have to say the word, and the winds will be still. Stretch forth His hand, and I will be safe. Breathe on me, and I will have the strength to go on.
Lights, Camera, ACTION. It's 2008
