The thing about history is that no matter how much you read up about a person or a place or an event, the truth is that what you’re chasing after is no longer there, and all that’s left are secrets that will never be exposed; memories that have faded away like writings in sand. Besides, history books are written by people, and thus a certain level of biasness is sure to exist. (Haha I’m reminded of sec 3 and 4 history lessons on source based questions!) As such, I guess there’ll always be a missing gap or chasm in my mind, longing to know the answers to the many mysteries that will never be solved. There are people I wish I could have gotten to know personally – to know what made them who they were and to know why they did the things that people now remember them for. On a more superficial level, I wish I could at least know how they looked like in person, since I highly doubt the accuracy of paintings left behind from centuries and millenniums ago. But I guess if books and documentaries are the only means I have of finding out more about the people and places that intrigue me so, then I’ll have to go with what I have. I wonder if there’ll be interesting history modules to take in uni. I might consider taking history as an elective or something

Anyway I was facebooking in the office *cough* and saw the daily bible verse and to my surprise God spoke to me through it. Isn’t it amazing how His word speaks to us – the same word speaking to and addressing the different needs of all creation? I think it comforts me to know that God has everything in His hand; and that He has something planned out just for me, even if I can’t see it yet.
