Was about to write a brief entry before taking a shower and continuing with work when dear dear pasted something on our msn window:

This morning, Pastor Edmund shared about 3 kinds of spirit that hinders us from offering ourselves freely to Him in the day of His power:

a) A stagnant spirit - one that has stopped growing & learning

b) A weary spirit - one that is experiencing constant fatigue

c) A overcrowded spirit - one that is distracted by life

It's a snippet from an email sharing by Edmund, our young adult ministry worker (the Edmund in the snippet is Rev. Edmund, my senior pastor). This little snippet came aptly - I was about to jot down a little bit of reflection that's touching on more or less the same thing.

By God's grace, a season's starting whereby I'm moving on in knowing Him through devotions and a daily dosage of His Word and nuggets of truth deposits... definitely not stagnant. Being weary and overcrowded... that can be a danger at this point of time though.

I parked myself at the poolside after library closing hours today... arranged a counselling supervision slot with Edmund (another one - this one my supervisor... hahah) in the evening at that venue, so I thought it'd be worthwhile to embark on some work in the meantime.

It's scary... to see that you've been working your whole way through and yet not getting the main agendas done, because there're just too many fringe work to do, and that they've got to be done as well, as much as the main ones have to be finished.

Saw some familiar faces - Spongebob, Wilfred, Guan Koi (who cut botak??!)... was so glad to have seen them and would have wanted to catch up a bit and at least show a bit of enthusiasm... but upon reflection I think I appeared quite 'dao'. Well. Energy seeped...

And I tend to let certain things slip off my mind lately... not that I want to.

Do pray that He'll help guard the time to spend meaningful time with loved ones... and at work, it'll mean spending time meaningfully with the boys too, not just getting engrossed with all the computer and admin work.

And I still have the group essay to write. :| Ho wells... nevermind. Shower first.
