- Ah yes... Do take this time to decipher the title before you proceed in skimming through patehtic attempt at reviving this blog.
Haha. I know... this blog dies on and off, but hey, I'm 20, and priorities do change. I shall dedicate watever time necessary into maintaining this blog for as long as possible. After all, it STILL IS and avenue where I can cautiously pen my thoughts down.
These past 3 months was a little more on the melancholic note. Felt happy for the majority of my friends who have graduated; saddened by their departure. Miss you guys who are at BMT man! Miss the great company [Southern Star] I've been working in for the past 3 months, not becuz of the loss of payday, mind you. Made a lot of friends and connections during the last day of my internship there, which is strange cuz you usually establish that during the first day of attachment. For me, well... let's just say I was a little quiet from the start, but I get the job done. Hey... it was reflected on my EXCELLENT grading I got for my company report - only by the grace of God.
Alrite, enough boasting, but the past 3 months were wonderful. Learned so many things about the animation workflow, 3D modelling, and... oh yes, 3Ds Max in particular, which I find it rather user-friendly in terms of building up 3D models and sets. It's quite and eye-opener for me, considering I had always blacklisted Autodesk products in my mind, but like the saying goes: "never say 'never'". Now I realise why Autodesk successfully bought over Maya from Alias, though I don't really digg the current documentation they provide [think most 3D animators will agree with me here].
After about a year and half, I finally get a well-deserved break for myself, though it doesn't end the need to start building up my portfolio again, which is really dismal at this point and really lacking on inspiration. On that note, Pastor Dale did share a very inspiring message today on 'The Voice of the Mind'. When he spoke about the difference between wisdom and Godly wisdom, it really got me thinking: when exactly was the last time I asked God for His type of wisdom? Not talking about that kind of wisdom just to help in the rigour of academics, but the wisdom for life's decisions and the situations we faced. As you can tell by me saying this I'm not all as spiritual as I used to be. In fact, life is getting more distracting as I edge closer to my prime; the need to strengthen/rebuild my relationship with God has never been more necessary at this point [yes, more necessary than my portfolio I would say], but it has never been more difficult. I need a renewed desire to pray and spend time with God more than ever.
I was quite surprised, recently, by a friend actually asking me to bring him to my church after seeing the amount of commitment and dedication I've given to my faith in Him. I shan't mention his reasons for doing so, but at the altar call today, God made me see once again the resposibility I bear as a Christian towards others. Such are our lives being closely watched not just by The Almighty, but the people who are closer to us than we think.
Am I my brother's keeper? Yes we are. Even the things we do behind closed doors will eventually reveal themselves given enough time. And boy, how I need to get my life right behind those doors.
A friend more recently has mentioned she wants to believe that a revival is going to sweep through our church in every congregation. I must admit I didn't share the same enthusiasim as she did, but I believe growing older should never make us believe in anything less from God than a miracle. To that sister, I boldly say you challenge my faith once again - to rise up.
Times are changing rapidly. Though I want to accompany the changes with besting myself both mentally and physically, whether be in studies or ministry, it is the spiritual aspect I must return to one more time.
Coming to the end of this entry, I'm kinda amazed at how much I've written. I must definitely check back more often, haha! Still, I hope by penning these down I can remind myself of the triumphs in my life, and missed opportunities as well. So - don't think for a second good ol' Sam's online 'scrapbook' is going to fizzle out any time soon. I'll be back when you least expect.
Life is bittersweet, but the Lord knows the seasons.
Peace out & GB.
