Relief!

I'm done with all the assignments to be handed up this month! Yeeeay! :D *bounces around the living room* I can sleep earlier tonight too!

Just had a good, long shower - and am now relaxing for a while before I go and do some ironing, then hit the sack. What a stressful week it has been! Meetings, Assignments, Assignments and more Assignments!

Yummy, warm Bee-koe-moey in the midst of my busy-ness thanks to Ben's mum :)

But tomorrow is Friday! :) TGIF! I don't even know what I want to do tomorrow... Probably clean my house (it is in a terrible mess), do some grocery shopping, drive to the gas-station for my car's weekly refill... drive to school for a mission team meeting in the afternoon.... and then dinner in the evening with Ben and a movie. Delightful! The weekend's gonna be busy, but at least now, I won't have anymore assignments to worry about.

Next week --> to focus on mission team preparation. I've got alot of things to do before I bus back to KL on the 19th of August and fly to Sandakan the very next day... I've gotta prepare workshop notes in English and Malay, prepare devotional material, spiritual preparation, emotional preparation, mental preparation, voice preparation, physical preparation etc. *Grins* I am in honestly no shape to go for a strenuous mission trip at the moment! I've not been exercising for 2 weeks @_@ - except for labouring up the MBTS slopes 2 times a week. Won't be fit and agile enough to run if a bright-eyed crocodile comes tearing after me ...or worse still a snake! Crocodiles can't climb trees but snakes can climb faster than I can!

Hehe. I don't think I'll come across any reptiles this trip - but it's always good to be prepared!

Today, I noticed with much horror and remorse that my busyness with assignments this week has affected my quiet-times quite a bit. Sometimes we can be so tricked into thinking that we've spent sufficient time with God especially when all our assignments have got, in one way or another, something to do with God! But that isn't the real 'being still before the Lord' and staying there until He speaks a word in season. I didn't feel like I had enough quiet-time this week even though I kept to it daily :( Gotta repent for doing QT's with a hasty heart... and speed-reading God's Word.

I'm so sorry, Lord.

I NEVER ever want to become someone who is so bent on doing work for God but neglects the discipline of waiting on Him and thus labours in vain. Never.
