cow

One of my dreams is to milk a cow in Australia. To some people it may seem foolish or insignificant. Of course it is! It's really pathetic if one's dream is just to milk a cow.
However it's different for me. I'm looking at the process not the final product. I'm looking at what I will be going through to milk my cow in Australia. Sometimes it's the process that adds the most value to a product.
Milking a cow speaks of my financial success. To milk a cow in Australia is not that easy for me. To reach this stage, it would meant that I would have already succeeded by my own standards and requirements. It would speak of independence, self-reliance, stability, status, wealth.

And of course, all these would crumple and fall one day.

That's why milking a cow is only one of my dreams. I cannot be sustained by these things alone. At the end of the day, I would need dependence, I cannot rely on my own strength, status would be ousted and wealth would diminish. This would mean that I would need to rely on a greater power. A power so great that even in death, it remains victorious.

I was reading vivien's blog and she quoted Isaiah 60:19-20.
It goes something like "the sun and moon will no longer be your light, because the Lord will be your light forever." That inspires me. Try holding light and it slips right through you. Light has no weight but yet it warms.

Anyway I still want to milk a cow in Australia. Not just because of the process, but because I REALLY REALLY want to do it. Serious. :)

Be blessed, you who are reading this post.
