Dumping Season
Finally, my medical leave has come to an end. On hindsight, it has been a really fruitful period. Besides the obvious reason which was my physical rest and recuperation, it was a timely break to deal with certain issues in my life because the circumstance 'forced' me to get out of many vicious cycles and allowed me to break away from a few bad habits.
Yesterday, for the first time, and probably the last, I attended the Women's Bible Coffee Hour in Church at 10am. The message shared by Maureen was like God-sent - a reminder to depend on God for my daily manna and to respond to His word. The session ended with an exhortation to always fix my eyes on the Lord even at work, and not be easily discouraged by situations and people around me and by my own weaknesses. May my heart never be hardened but always tender before the Lord to respond to His instructions.
After the session, I went to the new 'The Olives' cafe for lunch. I stayed there until 6.30pm before I left for school for the mid-autumn festival. For the whole time I was there, I read my book and simply open my heart to allow God to speak to me through the words of the author. It was surreal.
I'm so glad that I was able to finish packing my room today. It was done over 3 half-days but it was done. Such a load off my shoulders. Packing and throwing things away can be quite therapeutic... provided that you have the time. Well, more packing to be done in the office tomorrow. Took a glimpse of my workstation yesterday. I think I need to exercise my faith to move mountains..."Mountains, be moved!" Haha... No doubt there's going to be moving of 'mountains'. So much to dump. I know I can do it... just need to be cruel to myself and lose those baggages once and for all!
Hmmm... I think this is going to be a spiritual experience, too.
