Chew on it!

I was reading a book this morning, and i felt this story is good!

While hopping about one day, a frog happened to slip into a very large pothole along a country road.
All of his attempts at jumping out were in vain. Soon a rabbit came upon the frog trapped in the hole and offered to help him out. He, too, failed. After various animals from the forest made three or four gallant attempts to help the poor frog out, they finally gave up. "We'll go back and get you some food," they said. "It looks like you're going to be here for a while."

However, not long after, they took off to get food, they heard the frog hopping along after them. They couldnt believe it! "We thought you couldnt get out!" they exclaimed. "Oh, i couldnt," replied the frog. "But you see, there was a big truck coming right at me, and I HAD TO."

As long as we have acceptable options, we will not change.You must have the desire to change!

After bible study tonight, David, Alvin and i went to meet this new friend whom one of Alvin's friend recommended.

He is trying to introduce the MLM business to us, and we are trying to reach out to him. Can you see, we are converting each other. Both parties are at the market place, but marketing different thing. hahah.

i was just sitting there, trying to look interested, listening. And i find something very ironic.

Let me give you some background of this guy. He is 22 years old. Been in this business for 6 months, part time working, part time studying. He is a irregular attender of our church.

We are in the discussion about Time. Saying that we have no time for a business like his because we want to spend more time in church. We want to have a freed up lifestyle and to serve God the best that we know how. So this guys talked about prioritizing, setting the time aside. If we are in this business, we must be committed to it and to give it our time in order to be successful in this business.

Woo. I thought he never know about prioritizing!

That was what we were conveying to him about coming to God half the time throughout the conversation when he said that he has no time to commit. And there he is, talking about committments himself, trying to convince us into this business, without realising that he can actually use this belief of his, arrange his life and make room for God! I felt that we are like earthworm. Two heads, sharing the same body (belief - about committment only), but heading different direction.

This guy has no desire to change. He has an acceptable option - to stay free every sat/sun for friends, family, money, hobby etc. For this instance, he has to wait for a big truck (crisis) to come, to make him HAD to jump out of the pothole - for a good cause, of course. =)
