What do you do when you get really busy?

Monday, March 31st, 2008

busy is the buzz word for many of us here. we get busy with so many things and sometimes we wonder what are we busy about!!!!! we can get really busy with main thing like studying! hahahaa… few people really like studying la.. and if you reading this, likely that you and me are the majority who does not like studying.. but the reality is like this in students’ life.

everyday it seems that there is no air to breathe. School starts in the early morning and then afternoon is either tuition, piano lessons, ccas or extra classes… going home is to finish homesworks, projects. and then we begin to wonder how on earth we can commit our time to God by serving in church, involve in committes etc… sometimes we can really lost in the fast pace lifestyle that we forgot to put God as the centre of our focus!

so often the question is how we as Christians can balance all these, what to do when you get really busy?

well there are some things you can always take note:

1. Plan your time one week ahead. get a scheduler, design it and make it your own. many time we have time wasters that takes away our time and then we leave things to last minute. We got to be good stewardship of our time! So plan your study time, ccas, playtime, rest time. tawg, this will make you become more confident of who you are because YOU KNOW WHAT YOU are doing.

2. Share your burdens with someone..many times we are afraid to trouble people but to be in family of God, we have to share and carry each other’s burden so maybe you can send sms or email to your friends so that they can help you through encouragements. It always good to hear words of postiveness.

3. Harness your spiritual equipments -sometimes being busy is like climbing in the middle of a big mountain, sometimes it is really tough and tiring and when you are climbing, the last thing you want to do is to fall to your ‘death’ so think the rope as the bible..read your bible daily, and allow God to speak to you so as to strenghten you. the Hook is the Holy Spirit.. the Holy Spirit points us to God’s will and heart for our lives.. so continue to pray in the spirit and be sensitive to the voice of the Spirit daily. lastly, be focus! The best way to focus is to have daily worship life. plug into your fave christian music and let it minister to you before and after school. sing songs to him because He will fill your heart with joy.

remember. you live by faith and not by sight!!! The Joy of the Lord will be your strength!

Love you all, PGC 

rewards

Rewards! i love rewards…. rewards mean i can benefit something or earn something that i have done or achieved. We are wired to love rewards.

just a few days ago, i had the SP empowerment with the wonderful SPs. it was really tiring because i din really get to really rest and prepare for this Sp empowerment. i guess by the grace of God, i managed to pull through. the altar calls and prayer was really powerful.

i think it has been an amazing journey how God has been teaching me to disciple this generation… i am very much happy and alive to be in that priviledged place to mentor the young ones. i enjoyed the last two days because i really got to know them and they know me…. it is as if after the sp empowerment, the sps has caught my heart.

i dunno but it is just wonderful la… maybe i love them too much (Dun really show it) but i see all of them as eaglets waiting to fly for Jesus. i want them to learn to be strong and independent.. learn to be committed, learn to persevere, learn to look upon God. learn to walk a life of faith, learn to be a blessing…. so much more!!!!!!!

sometimes rewards can be long in waiting but i dun mind waiting cause i never know when i will leave from this planet earth but watever time i may have. i want to give my all….

i am not here to impress or be a crowd pleaser. i want to speak the heart and will of God to the youths of this generation. The enemy is really launching full scale attack on the destiny of this generation..maybe i see myself as a protector, a defender and a warrior for my youths..

there are just so many lives waiting to be changed la..hahaha… but i guess not every youth will understand where or what i am doing… hmmmm but yeah one person that came to my mind was a youth leader, Sister Jerlyn…

i remember meeting her, encouraged her to get water baptized, becoming SPs.. it been 2 years plus..and now she is a igntye leader… two weeks back, she was sick in one of the weekends but she insists that she wants to come down to be with the youth..i was really amazed by her commitment and passion… it was really my sweet reward…. people like her will be strong leaders of the future… and i am just thankful how she has grown…. i am looking out…always for great leaders to rise up…. dunno when, dunno how… one step at a time…. God will help me… not sure how long God wants to put me in ignyte… but as long as i will be in… i will war and love this generation. Devil, watch out!

friends, friends, friends!

You know.. in life we can have many friends… some friends are at the distance, some are quite close. Some friendships are closer, those whom you share your joy, pain etc… basically you can talk anything under the sun.

This type of friends are not many isnt it? These are the ones whom we can really share and trust with our lives.
but what if ONE FINE DAY you and your friend have a misunderstanding? disagreement? how would you handle it?

well for sure.. there is no perfect way to handle..because it really depends on the level of r/s with the person, the nature of the indcident and the characters of people handling conflicts.

but one of the main things that i have learnt and still learning is to face them and not keep them.
many times we just want to move on and pretend nothing happen but that is just pilling and waiting for the bigger one to come.
friendship is all about sharpening one another so sometimes if not often, we must learn to express or share what is the core issues about. we must learn to be slow to speak and quick to listen. at the end of the day, it not about who is right or wrong but rather hearing and identify the feelings and thoughts of the person.
it never easy to have a strong friendship that is build on trust but once you learnt that, it would become stronger.
treasure your friends because they only come once in a lifetime. treasure them because they are God’s gift to you!
love you all!
