Architectural drawing is no easy task for me since I'm not good at maths. But I thank God that my boss's always patient with me. He always tells me "one at a time". By the way, would people believe that a language teacher would be reading and drawing architectural graphics everyday? Many of my friends can't believe what I'm doing now. Oh well, very often God's plan doesn't make sense. The good thing about working in this company is I'll have qualification to apply for interior design courses - something like a diploma or even a degree.
In Hong Kong, interior design is considered a prestigious career. It helps people make their "dreams" come true. Chinese people always gives great values to family or home. (Home and family are one word in Chinese language.) Most of them dream about having a nice home. Apparently home should be a sanctuary where we can find (physical/mental/emotional/spiritual,etc) rest. That's why so many people invest a lot of money in their houses or apartments. To be honest, it would be an honour to me if I could be an interior designer.
Just then, I had a question: Interior designers make other people's homes nice and comfortable, so what kind of home should these interior designers have? Nice and comfortable as well? I've seen a report on the home of a world famous interior designer. His house was gorgeous, luxurious, awesome! It's what I expected actually. But, can a top designer live in a crappy place?
Jesus is the best "interior" designer ever. He's the one who designed the earth, a big big house, for everybody to live. (Isaiah8:30) How nice and beautiful the earth is? Download Google Earth, and look around this planet. You'll know how good Jesus is at "interior" design.
Jesus made a beautiful home for us and his "talent" and ability are undeliable. But what sort of place he lived in when he was on the *earth? The place is called Nazareth where nothing good can come from (John1:46). Why would he live in such crappy place? He chose to. What for? Us.
*The design of beauty and harmony was destroyed by sin.
