As you can see, this picture is shamelessly 'koped' from Daily Candy. Interested people can go google it up. Uninterested people, just admire the cherry blossoms.
We've been swamped with work recently. On the personal side, many things have been happening and most of it ain't that pretty - but it feels exactly like how it will feel when something good and big is going to happen. We have been talking about unprecedented growth in church and... i believe growth is certainly gonna come. But before that come, are we as brothers and sisters in Christ persistent enough in love to pray for those in need?
I feel like i've been on the sidewalk, watching others rushing around me while i gently say no to all these. My excuse? Work is too busy, Speech Day is too near, i am too tired. And boy, did i feel much shame upon myself when i read about Jason and Shufen on their blog.
I think work has taken first place in my life. Even when my throat is going, and my body breaking down with a cold, i persisted in going to school. It came to a point i had to ask myself - who am i working for? God or men? And that was when i packed my stuff, arranged for relief and left. It was silly, i spent $10 rushing to and fro school for no apparent reason.
I think i need to relook at how busy i am. Yes, i am swamped. But God do not give us things beyond what we can bear. And if work is going to take me away from Christ, how ironic it is! When God was the one who gave me this job in the first place?
Perhaps i can start with being disciplined in work. Finish work fast fast chop chop.
And most importantly, to put God first.
Yes i said it.
