Coming here used to be a dread. It’s boring and not fun. But now, I do enjoy the time here especially when I am alone. It gives me time to be in solitude, just doing things alone. I guess it recharges me ready to go and face people again. When I finished all my work, I even have time to pray and read the Word. I am thankful for my time here.
Its time like this that I am forced to be quiet, reflect and slow down. Otherwise I would be rushing and rushing. Actually I feel bad that I am always ill prepared for my staff meeting. Robert would send the meeting agenda but then I always only take a look at them and off my pc. I just don’t have the desire to sit and look through the documents. Well, there are times when I looked through the things that I am supposed to, but then there are no thoughts or questions on my part la… anyway, not an excuse, I really do need to spend more time to be thinking through the things discussed at meeting, to be ready to contribute.
Talk about rushing… I think I walked too fast. ZQ say I walked too fast. How hard it is for me to walk slowly. I need time to wind down. Pastor Andrew say that his Sabbath has to be more than 3 months because the body takes about 3 months to slowly wind down and then the proper rest will only come in after the 3rd month. I realized that even in my strolling I need time to wind down to a strolling pace. When I first start strolling, I would be at a walking pace. After about an hour, I found that my pace begin to slow down and my body begin to relax.
Solitude, Silence, Slow is good… sometimes… haha…
