A Seed, A Family, A Book

"What are your goals in life? What you want to see yourself achieve in your lifetime?"

Now, how many of us really know how to answer these questions? Not many I presume. I'm sure many will give answers like "I want to earn as much money as possible", "I want to travel all over the world" or "I want the whole world to know who I am".

Okay.. here's the trick. I want to have a seed, a family and a book. Of these three items, I think the family is very clear. But why a seed and a book? Do I want to plant a tree? Do I want to be an author who writes bestsellers? The answer is yes and no.

The seed I'm talking about is the niche in my life. I want to find something that is worth of my time in doing; something that is of my strength that I can work at it all with my heart, strength, spirit, time and effort. In short, to discover and to strengthen my calling. Praise God, I can see some light at the end of the tunnel now! Boy, I'm getting exhausted... I need my inner circle to stand by me.

The book is not exactly a book I want to author. It is a legacy I want to leave behind when I'm well advanced in life. Whatever that I've learned throughout the years, the people that I have coached, the accomplishments that I've achieved, the failures that I've made.. all these I want to tell to the next generation. In a way, I'm writing "a book", aren't I?

At this juncture, I think I've found my seed. God, I need your hand.. I need you to walk with me to water this seed, to nurture it and watch it grows up strong and healthy and be a blessing to many. I'm coming back to the heart of worship...
