I just realised that I had attended two funerals, a wedding and will be busy with three births. That’s a lot of things within a short month. Well, the births are not exactly my business but I told my sister that I will help to cook for her daughter when she delivers her baby anytime soon. My home is very near to the hospital and I am much more organized than my sister where these things are concerned. In fact, I have made a mental note to get the food ingredients ready in my fridge in case I am ‘on call’.
We Chinese have this thing about eating some hot, freshly cooked meal right after we have babies so I am going to make sure that my niece gets her share. I feel happy that my late mom is now a great-grandmother. She may not be around but still, I know she is utterly proud of that status.
Right after my niece had her baby, her older brother (my nephew’s wife) will become dad and after that, another sister will have hers. It is such a blessing for my eldest sister to have a grandchild almost every month!
However, with all these things, I have less time to spend on reflections. I need to find time to do some online stuffs to bring bread and butter for the family as well.
When I do not have time to spend with the Lord, I tend to forget about faith. I tend to go on auto mode to make money, take care of the kids, the house and etc. I forget that I can Trust Him. This morning, when I opened my eyes, I prayed that I do not have to deal with too much worries over some things. True enough, some happy emails were waiting for me. Thank you, Lord.
I haven’t attend church for a mighty long time and I sort of miss it. Cannot help it because the schedules just do not allow me to grab that 30 minutes to go as no one is around to take care of my little boy when he was sleeping in the morning.
Hopefully, faith can jumpstart this Thursday when I attend the Living The Word course.
Sigh…sometimes, I wonder why I seems to have time for many things but so little time to just stay quiet and do nothing but just reflect on the Word of God? I guess it is my human nature to just go, go, go and do, do, do and I have problems with the “Be Still and Know I Am God” kind of solitude. Then again, I have four screaming kids to deal with and unless I take time to hide in the huge building call church, I hardly have any private and quiet moment.
