Played 3 games of basketball under the hot sun right after that.
Feeling happy (and having cramps in my calf). Exercise always causes me to relax and feel good.
But there seem to be no occasion when I can really fully relax. During service, my mind was filled with the list of things I need to do because I will be away to JB for a day tomorrow. The thought of it can be pretty depressing. There seems to be just so little time but so many meetings and things to attend to. Not long after, a brother shared a verse with me over SMS:
23Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. (Col 3:23-24)
I found it significant because this is not the first time in the week that the Lord is reminding me to not see my responsibilities as tasks but to see them as acts of worship to Him. I can get so caught up with meeting deadlines and fulfilling responsibilities that in the process forget the purpose why I do them. I guess when work becomes routine, mundane and "bo pian", it's only a matter of time before I will just dread going to work. Will need to pray each morning that as I start a new day of ministry, it is for Him.
