some people say it's the end of the week, but some say it's the start of the week, I say is the day we rest and worship Him :)
I love singing and swaying to the worship songs because sometimes I really feel the Holy Spirit near me: the goose pimples, the tears of joy and the deep thoughts when I'm immersed in the music.
Music is the expression of our love for Jesus and I thank Him for that :)
Been a not-too-busy week and yes, challenging mentally because I have to deal with some delicate HR issues but thank God it came out ok (i'd like to always think of the worst :/)
i think because work takes up 70% of everyone's lives, it's the area where we have most issues/concerns of. But i like to constantly remind myself that I'm just working out God's plans for me, it doesn't matter what the results are because I already know God will only reserve the best for me :)
Had my regular Sundays calls with my parents and I miss them :( My mum always say i'm the only one she can really chat to so naturally although we have been sms-ing almost everyday, we can still speak for at least an hour.
my mum sounds tired from work; the constant struggle of work-life balance and money. i guess everyone is like this, it's pretty hard to work for passion when money is needed for everything (food, house, clothes and transport).
But i want her to know that beneath it all, what matters most is that you're HAPPY. How many years have we spent slogging hard but we have not been happy? I guess i have to learn that too myself because I've been reminded constantly that money is needed for everything.
and that brings me to tithe. Christians tithe 10% of their income for the House of the Lord, whilst not many people are able to do that because they think that that's too much and they need it for other expenses, we fail to put our FAITH first before ourselves.
Pastors have always preached that we're stocking up for home in heaven, if you sow sparingly, you'll reap sparingly. Do you regret when you're only staying a little hut in heaven because you've not been able to part with earthly treasures? Sometimes I do. I reflect how i have to justify if i have enough for lunch the next day BEFORE i think of tithe.
this month, i shall put my FAITH first and tithe the 10% of my monthly income and just trust in Him to provide. For if we do not make the attempt to do so, we'll never know if things will turn out just like what He has promised.
and that's not all, putting Him first in all things else and letting Him take care of everything is something so simple, yet difficult for many of us. Sometimes it's so easy to believe in your partner, your friends or even a complete stranger but we forget to believe in Him first.
what a thoughtful day..... :)
