Setting healthy boundaries. Finding rest.

It's amazing how Jesus can bring people together.

If anyone actually noticed, the only reason why a church was even built is so that fellow believers can come together and worship God, God is the only reason why we even go to church. We come together to build a community just so we can learn together, worship together, grow stronger together, and reach out together!

It's just so amazing how God allowed people to come and go in my life. Indeed, good times I've been through, what seemed like worst times turned out to be a blessing in disguise!

I was hurt, I felt empty, I was all alone. But through all these, God humbled me and opened my eyes to see the condition of my broken heart. How much I needed to know that this Father in heaven loves me so much as to send His one and only son, Lord Jesus, to die on the cross for me to redeem me from the hands of the devil.

I really thank God for all the people He has placed in my life. I love meeting up with people and getting to know more about their lives, what they are going through and how they are handling things. I like to listen to them talk. I like to know more about them(: And I feel so honoured every time someone open up their hearts to share their deepest thoughts with me.

I am a talkative person, very talkative, especially when it concerns my faith and my relationship with God. I don't have to hide, I don't have to feel ashamed, because it is indeed the love of my heavenly Father that I am who I am now. But I like it more when people are more talkative than me! Haha!

As much as these people are people whom I love dearly, I can indeed be drained. I must say that many people fail to see the importance of having alone time. I used to be someone who likes to be busy and be occupied. Until one day, when I felt really tired, and I actually realised the importance of having alone time. There are too many things in this world that we can do, and it is impossible for us to do everything.

Okay, I think my writing structure is very messy. My mind's quite messy too. I'm literally writing freely, and writing whatever comes into my mind now. HAHA.

This morning, I had a meeting with one of the crusade staff, and we were having a discussion for the vision tea event on Saturday. At the end of the discussion, she asked me how can she pray for me, and I know that all I needed was to have a focused mind, a mind that is focused on God. My mind is just so cluttered again, and I'm actually quite distracted again. Partly because I am involved in the lives of so many people. And she actually brought up the subject of setting healthy boundaries. Mind very messed up now, maybe will elaborate in my future posts.

And this evening (: my very awesome SM, Mel, threw a mini surprise for me and the surprise was sweet and lovely Gracia! Hehehe. I so casually mentioned that I missed Gracia and I guessed Mel immediately planned for a meet up with the intentions of surprising me! She told me she wanted to have dinner with me, and I said OK! :D and then she made me close my eyes from the exit of the MRT station at Bugis and led me all the way to Macs with my eyes closed! And there was Gracia waiting for us at Macs! Hehehe. How sweet can my SM be? Hmmm... I miss Ma Ny, the kid from Cambodia, is she gonna make me close my eyes from Singapore and surprise me with our arrival at Cambodia? XD KIDDING. HAHA.

Anyway, we had a good time of fellowship(: And Gracia brought up the importance of having a Sabbath every week, a time of rest, a time with God, where and when God can really speak to us and refresh our spiritual health (: Sometimes, we are just too busy doing the things of this world that we forget that we are human BEANS and we need rest. Rest is very important! And I find my rest in God(:

Okay. This entry is very messy. NVM.

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. - Psalm 62:1- 2
