WOYWW: Don't Look back!

 I just got back from more than a week in Seoul,

and since I got a bad cough there,

I have been resting in bed.

So I painted this on my bed using the same box I brought

with me to Seoul, filled with paints, brushes, pencils, etc.

I haven't had the chance to unpack yet!!!

 I have been reading from Luke 9, verse 62.

Jesus answered him, “No one who sets a hand to the plow

and looks to what was left behind is fit for the Kingdom of God.”

I couldn't understand this at first 

until I read about plows or ploughs.

I suppose there are still plows being used in the province. 

A farmer tills his land using a plow or plough 

to prepare it for planting seeds. 

The thing is to keep it straight, 

he has to keep his sight straight ahead. 

If he looks back, the furrow will be crooked.

Being a disciple of Jesus also requires 

that we not look back. 

Past mistakes, relationships gone bad, 

what people think of us because of our past, 

can keep us from being confident 

to do the work God wants us to do. 

Every one makes mistakes we regret, 

but we should not let it define us. 

We should learn from it, yes, 

but it should not keep us from growing and being fruitful.

Lord, help me to keep my sight on You!

 Here is my favorite picture from our visit

to Seoul. We had this picture taken in

Gwanghamun Square near the City Hall.

Aren't these costumes beautiful?

And we were able to put them on for free!!!

There was a huge flea market and lots of happenings

that Sunday.

Now this is a picture of little vignettes

outside this store, 

"Too Cool for School".

They were encased in glass cases

and placed on top of chairs.

Very curious!

My sister Tina is crazy about cats,

and for her birthday,

we visited a Cat Cafe in Gangnam.

We don't have Cat Cafes here in the Philippines,

as far as I know,

so this was another curiosity for me!
