Some people hates silence as silence could make them realize how lonely they are... I, on the other hand, love silence. The good thing is, I have a lot of opportunity to be on my own. Maybe it's my melancholic side, but I do need silence to recharge my energy. Just like right now... there's no other sound but the clicking of my keyboard, my clock ticking, and the sound of my laptop's machine. I feel at peace, and I could feel God's presence surround me so sweetly.
Yesterday and today I woke up late and so I was late for school. Honestly, I was pretty pissed at myself because I usually can manage sleeping for very few hours. I think, I am just way too tired. My sister and her husband were here last weekend and so I was busy taking them all around Taipei for 3 days straight. Although I had a great time, being constantly with people like that definitely drain my energy. I think, beginning of this semester, I began to realize how precious rest is. Before, I don't know when to rest. I like to be on the move, but I think, God wants me to learn to be more in touch with my body as this 'tent' will serve me as long as I am still living on this earth.
You might have heard how God loves you so much that He accepts you the way you are, but at the same time He loves you so much that He refuses to let you be just the way you are? I mean, even when we are still sinner, God loves us, and He wants us to have life and have it to the full. There are many blessings beyond our imagination that He wants to pour unto our lives, but for these good things to stay in our lives, many things need to be cut off and thrown away from our lives. Bitterness, laziness, unforgiveness, wrong attitudes, etc, they all need to go away, or in Jesus said, you cannot put new wine into an old wineskin because the wineskin will ripped off and the wine waste away.... Only a new wineskin can contain new wine...Only a heart that is healed and cleansed by the blood of Christ can contain the blessings that belong to us..
