'Pop' goes the weasel
A few things to update, so here goes.......
Decided to really commit myself to the ministry He has called me to serve in, the kids' ministry in my church. It's really quite something to see the kids worship and pray, and their innocence and general obedience makes you go 'aww' (being mushy). This really reminds me of the Bible passage wherein Jesus was lavished with a warm welcome by the kids. Kids, in their innocence, probably see Him for who He is, and that is something that cynical adults like me should bear in mind.
Two of my church friends flew to Houston to work (for about 2 years or so). In the build-up to that, I was busy haranguing people for photos and stuff they would like to contribute so that a scrapbook could be done for them to chronicle the times we had with them and all. Finally handed over the scrapbook to them with all our contributions, and Z broke down. I am so glad they liked it....could tell they were rather touched by it.
On another note, I am currently nursing a bad bout of flu. I knew it was a 'pending' case of flu, as the symptoms had been 'appearing' and ebbing for a while. It irritated me so much to the extent that I was like, 'come on, hit me with your best shot. Get it over and done with'. But alas nothing happened for a while, until after I had handed over the scrapbook. Then it hit me with the kind of brute strength that keeled me over (exaggerating). So anyway, I was out of action from work for 2 days, and today the kindly doctor offered to give me another day's MC. Me being the conscientious workaholic that I am, I turned it down as I have already piles of items to clear and it's stacking up.
So now, it's a case of being fatigued......by the bout of illness and the subsequent medication I have to pop, as well as, spiritually. Kinda feels like I've dried up my spiritual well of reserves, and think it's high time I seek a fresh anointing and top it up again. For the past few weeks, I have been soldiering on cos there were events, one after another, that I felt I had to clear. Finally, I can go 'splat'. There are quite a few issues I need to grapple with, and it all looks super overwhelming at this point in time. Nonetheless, what little mustard seed of faith I have left in me tells me I can weather this as He is with me. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to know another Christian brother in the work place. For a moment, I thought the bank I am currently in is swamped with mature Christians, and there are not that many around my age range (well, on the wrong side of 20s anyway). I have to say, though, his mindset and values are rather 'radical' in some ways. We were chatting (over a short break) and we shared some general stuff, and I was pretty intrigued to hear his views, which I am pretty sure would have raised some eyebrows at my church. But nonetheless, I am thankful, for the moment, to have another believing friend in the workplace - makes for a less lonely Christian walk, et tu?
