i couldnt continue the previous post, i had no idea why. i've been feeling rather empty since sat, and though i received on sunday, i still felt so blah and whatever even today in school.
somehow the qt hasnt been speaking to me anymore. all it does to me is that it convicts. and i know over the past few weeks i've been given opportunities to give, opportunities to served the poor, in spirit or in wealth or in any other way. and yet i dun feel any satisfaction, it almost feels like there isnt an incentive.
yesterday's worship was to me one of the best, but somehow everyone assumes its a norm already. if the band could give up so much such as time for practice and such an excellent mindset every single week until it gets boring and normal, what incentive is there to do so every week? we see ariel, dillon and lois improving a lot in skills, even i see a bit of it in myself, and corrine and jan have been singing so much. yeah, its been encouraging and such a great avenue in which God shines through, and yet now it gets so normal...
perhaps our players need a bit of encouragement and affirmation people!

i just woke up from a 3 hour nap just now, still feeling tired. but no, physically i know i'm well rested. there's just this thing about society that keeps us stressed and always in an attitude of conformity. Pastor shared how this can lead to emptyness in our lives on sunday...
i suppose the constant stress of needing to study and yet not studying has been burdening me since last week. Mer's sms was somehow God sent, matt 11:28 " come to me all who are weary and burdened, and i will give you rest."

following which was "take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
its that easy, give it up to God. how could we miss such a comforting promise?
his yoke is easy and burden is light after all. i think i found new energy to face the weeks of study to come already!
