much needed recharge

So much to do and so little time! Been busy with the move of boxes and 'weeding', cleaning, catching up with friends, organizing stuffs for when I'm away. And on top of that, thoughts 'haunt' my mind; what if I die while I'm doing this? what will happened to my family and friends? What if things change so much that I can't connect with my friends here anymore? What if bad things happened while I'm away? Endless seemingly ridiculous concerns crossed my mind! Then I realized I have not been spending my time in the presence of my Father! In the midst of all the craziness, I have been putting Him aside and not including Him in all things. Tonight as I put on a couple of worship songs and just spend time in His presence, I can feel my whole body relaxed and peace engulfed me. It is a much needed recharge! Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest (Matt 11:28) So many times I have come across this scripture. And I know it by heart, however tonight I gained the revelation of the power of the promise! His love and promises will never fail! I thank Him for reminding me once again!

It hasn't sunk in yet!

Wow, I can't believe I have a blog now! I stopped blogging when I was in my early 20's! I figured 'blogging' is a good way to keep in touch with my friends and family, good space for rambling and venting too!;) Just trying out my first post which is my post title! People asked me if I'm excited. I AM yet it feels so close yet so far! I guess I'll probably be crying and missing everyone starting from the day before my flight! Stepping into 'the unknown' is an interesting feeling! It's like 'rojak' ie a mixture of different feelings (scared, excited, at times peaceful, feel so right, anxious, anticipation of challenges, determination to learn and grow in every potential circumstance and the antidote for me to balance my over-thinking mind is to simplify things, as cliche as it sounds, it works for me. I live by one step at a time(thanks Val and my parents), trust, wait, listen, go! Mind status now : It hasn't sunk in yet and brain constipation (while i'm writing this)!
