Many have asked me what the name on my blog means..."ky'el" is an elven dialect for "son of patience" (i'll leave the "wolfpacker" part for another time)...and i was just reminded again of the importance of being patient.
Of course you know that being impatient sometimes starts anger and fights and all...but have you ever noticed the subtle things that impatience does? It makes you worry, it makes you distracted from something that you have to and should be doing. Ever tried waiting in one place for something that you know is going to happen soon? You keep looking at your watch/handphone clock, wondering when it's going to happen...you start getting
gan cheong and think about the "what ifs" of it...suddenly you have so many burdens on your mind that you can't do anything else, and most importantly you can't do anything about it. (i would know...i'm doing that now *grins*)
But like how i always tell people to "chillzout", seriously that's probably the only thing that would help - just chill. Calm down and clam down. No point worrying about something that you can't do anything about.
The Bible challenges us, that which of us, by worrying, can turn even one hair black or white or change the number of hours of our life? (maybe shorten it...) "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough troubles of its own".
Can we apply that to our hourly, minute-ly and second-ly life? Let's not worry about what we have to do next, or what's about to happen, or what should be happening, etc etc etc (see, there are just so many things to worry about!) Just focus on what we have to do now, look at the HERE and NOW, and let the next minute, hour, or day worry about itself (which isn't to say that we shouldn't have at least a bit of foresight)
*chilling out now*
