After numerous reminder and phone calls, i realised that what's supposed to be done was yet still incomplete.
I made the call. The conversation went:

*ring ring*
A: hello.. u want to ask me about xxx rite??
Me: yes.
A:errr..
Me: I thought you said you were going to do it in the afternoon?
A: I was busy.
Me: Then why didn't you get me to help you with it?

And who's the one who told me about doing certain things just to fulfill righteousness?
And what has doing things just so to fulfill righteousness bring about?

Do we do things that we are asked to do faithfully, because we see a need to do it, or just because we want to fulfill righteousness?
Are we standing in the gap and understanding the purpose of things being done?
When asked to get things done, why do we do it?
When we do not understand the rationale, do we find out and ask?

I've grown beyond the "do it because i say so" season.
That's never a reason I'll take.
Of coz I'm not saying that we question everything that we are asked to do, but I always believe that when we understand the logic and rationale behind doing certain things, we can do it with more fervency and enthusiasm. And i guess that's a better thing to do and learn rather than to do things JUST TO FULFILL RIGHTEOUSNESS.....

Sigh.. and i wonder.. how what you did brought you to where you are.
