seven thirty

actually, been wanting to post, but never sat down and did so. it's odd the more you want to relax, sit down, and just type... it doesn't happen. so here i am, multitasking actually- doing up my media in america homework. kind of stuck as to what to write, maybe i need to lie down and think, the two paragraphs i've written so far don't seem to impress me. maybe i should just anyhow write ah! anyway not graded what! but i can't ah, writing... i'll let myself down if i hand up a piece i'm not satisfied with. i'll continue blogging, but for the meanwhile let me lie on my bed to try and draw inspiration, or maybe i'll fall asleep in the process of doing so, and end up handing up substandard work. ughhh.

okay great, i wrote the above at 3plus in the morning. and if you look at the timing of this post, odds are you'll know i fell asleep!!

anyway enough of pottering about up there. the past week of being down with a terrible flu and a really inflamed throat made me sleep and sleep and sleep. in fact, i got so sick of sleeping and being home-bound, but what to do, azaria is a good girl when she's sick. the best bit was as i reflected, isn't it the same with our Spiritual walk. that we so need to rest along this long and very arduous journey? that if we don't, we'll (like in the physical world) fall sick and just can't plod on any longer. i thought what was shared at the 7.30pm prayer & praise service made fantastic sense. 2 practices you could try to apply to your life, 1 being to die-die spend time with God each week, treat it as your personal date with Him! you don't have to have your hands clasped, kneeling down, meditating on the word, think quietness, stillness... fall asleep! instead, do what you really love- what He has placed into your heart to love and enjoy (not anything immoral ah!). and basically just do it, enjoy His company, for He takes delight in yours. the 2nd one is how we desire to start our days well, yet somehow there'll be things that make us want to pull out our hair along the way. start your day reading aloud a psalm, and as you do so identify with the psalmist. spend about 8 minutes on this, and the remaining 2 lifting up your day to God.
anyhow, had my first drum lesson yesterday. in need of cool sticks! don't want those normal looking ones.

btw ymlc has a blog, speaking of which must admit publicly that i'm pretty excited about it. probably shouldn't expect so much though, after i fall asleep during the conference talks ah. tsk tsk. hey, but that isn't such a bad thing right, find rest in Him.
