Tired, Pensive and Hopeful

Last week, there were a few memorable things worth mentioning.
On Thursday, we had a nice dinner meal with our new neighbors, who are a Chinese Canadian couple here in Malaysia for a year, teaching at a local college nearby. It was good to get to know them a little, and it was a new experience for us having a neighbor and all that. We’re not very sociable in our apartment unit. The only guys we talk to are the guards.
On Friday, I went for cell group, and it was really good being back together with the cell family. We spent the whole night sharing testimonies, partly because the last few weeks were so eventful that we didn’t get a chance to meet on our regular weekly meetings.
I’m believing God for an advancement and healing. LL is also going through the beginning stages of a new phase in life. It’s scary and exciting at the same time. Turning points are crucial times. I really have to be alert and there’s no time for rest.
I don’t know why, but I’ve been feeling really tired lately. I do try to get to bed on time, and avoid late nights, but somehow I’m lacking something. That, and I need to cycle more regularly. Maybe I should find some nice roads around my area and just do 10kms every few days or something.
Over the weekend, we celebrated SY’s birthday at Il Divo’s in Hartamas, and it was really fun and the food was really good. I kinda regretted not going over to SY and EK’s place after that, but LL and I had to head back since we had to be up early the next day. We’re already looking forward to our next dinner meetup, this time for Churrascaria and Korean BBQ.
Finally, today’s message was about how as Christians, we’re all called to be fathers, and in doing that we fulfill the great commission of making disciples of all nations. I really can’t disagree with that. As I begin to know God more, I find that his heart is really about people. That’s how he’s slowly transforming my heart to be.
The week ahead will be another crazy one. God promises rest and victory amidst the chaos.
