I've been very busy since the Bible school started almost a month ago. It's been a good ride, but I do feel tired almost every day. Juggling Bible school, Chinese school, ministry, teaching English, and rest is not as easy as I thought it would be. In fact, I really felt that there are so many things are 'fighting' for my attention. I keep reminding myself that I have to be focus, or else, I'll fall behind.
This might be just the start of the training that God is providing me with. Most of the days, I only have 4-6 hours of sleep. Sure, I am getting use to it, but at the same time, I don't think that's what God wants for me. I am pretty sure that God wants me to have enough rest and have a good night sleep every night. It really is a matter of time management. I think I am doing an OK job so far, but it definitely can be better.. so much better.
One thing I learn, though, sometimes you really don't have the luxury to sleep 8-10 hours per day. We might have to survive with a 4-6 hours of sleep per day and juggling a hectic schedule on top of that. I can only imagine how my pastors could handle this and in keeping his personal life both with his family and with the Lord intact. My pastor traveled about 1-2 weeks of the month. He preaches for at least 4-5 services per week.. Not to mention if he has to lead our prayer meeting and stuff. When he's abroad for ministry, his schedule is pretty much packed from morning to late night... I don't know how he can manage that. I think that's God's grace. I think, one thing that I need to learn is, I need to learn to wind down in God's presence rather than in entertainment. I am not saying that watching TV, playing games, etc are bad.. I am just saying, we definitely could invest the time we spend on better things...
Anyways, I need to go now... Time to go to bed ( and it's only 11 PM..hahaa.. ) Alright, take care you guys!
