In a time and place where people just tell you to serve, serve, serve, do something, do this, do that...
OK. Maybe they don't tell you, but they encourage you to be active and put your youthful vigour to good use, and make 101 requests.
OK. Maybe not 101 requests, but... yea.
OK. Maybe it's not like that at all. But sometimes it sure feels like it.
It's quite telling to have 2 big figures in your life of this season to tell you, "yes, on one hand, keep going, but what's more important now is to BE STILL, and KNOW that HE IS GOD."
BE still. Instead, I've gone the other way with "BE zee" (busy).
sigh.

sigh not. perhaps stillness is not so much about the time we have but the readiness for His grace, even during our be zee times:-) it is when we are deprived we become fit candidate for Grace. Keep going
Yes. BE STILL ...AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD.
Or as some of our children often told me when they were teens. "Mom, missionaries all seem to think its about DOING, but its about BEING."
And we won't BE what we should be unless we are still enough to see who God is.
wong - i just read from weirsbe that, apart from praying for blessings, we need also to be blessable. as we keep going, we need to daily drink in His grace. lots and lots of it. it's like taking 100-plus while running.
laurie - i wish i'm in aji reading the word with u guys. it's different when there's sharing n bouncing of ideas.
