Nice and Slow Monday

Today was a good day. No difficult students who are misbehaving nor overwhelming tasks looming before me... but surely there are lots to be done in preparation for CIP, NCC, setting of papers for common tests, marking of class tests, preparing lessons, admin stuff and more. But all i am looking forward to is the CNY holidays. Really need to hibernate, not just to rot... but really to seek. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteouness and all the things shall be added unto you. I think i need that deep rest, not just physically, but the times of refreshing that would come upon my soul and whole being.

In the evening, shuyan and i went back to neram for dinner and enjoyed our slow walk, talking and sharing about our day, as well as our thoughts. We always enjoyed doing that tgt and i am glad that we have this time tgt today! =) Itz funny sometimes how i would feel such a deep love for her and appreciating her for everyone that she does, be it cooking and preparing breakfast every morning without fail, doing the household chores (I do them too) =), watching shows tgt, be it detective stories or whatever, i just enjoy doing everything with her. God has been good to us. TG!

If only everyday is at a comfortable pace and things still get accomplished efficiently, how nice would that be... Ahhhh....

Is it bread or the Word?

"Man does not live by bread alone but by the word of God."

It has been some time since i have read the word of God regularly. Maybe i felt that it was not necessary for me to read everyday or that i have misplaced my priority in this area. But i am glad that God showed me once again from His word how it changes and renews my mind as i read. Praise Him for his wonderful works!

I pray that as i read each time, God will sanctify my mind and by the renewing of my mind, i will be transformed into the image of my Lord Jesus Christ who is full of love and grace and yet disciplines and teaches.

Indeed the bread that nourishes or fills the stomach cannot be compared to the Word that grows and builds up the spiritual life in a person. I believe with all my heart that as i look to Him and continue to trust in His work that has started in me and bringing it to completion till the day I meet with Christ, He will fulfill His will for my life.

Holy Spirit, help me to stay close and draw from you. In spite of difficult circumstances, i will not fall or look at it with hopelessness, but place my hope in you.

Love you Lord.
