Sunday... (Nope.. Not Rebecca Black's new song)
Its been a long long while since I had a whole Sunday to myself. Usually it'll be packed with meeting people or doing some stuff that requires alot of my attention.
Its nice actually.. To sit in a cafe alone with a cup of Hazelnut Latte, using my MacAir... browsing through Facebook status updates and watching a couple of videos here and there... this IS the sunday life..
Well, I'm definitely not complaining about my usual Sundays.. But having to slow things down a little at times can be really refreshing and well, reflective.
Recently I've been real busy with things at LifeUnited. There's YouthUnited, our grand opening next saturday and P.O.P Gen Camp coming.. Its gonna be alot of time and effort and brain juice put in.. And I gonna foresee myself being really busy with lesser time with friends around..
I've been talking to this friend of mine a few weeks ago.. sharing about how is our involvement and also some thoughts + feelings with it.. Sometimes, it can get real tiring keeping up with this pace of life. Just a sneak peak, here's how my week looks like...
Monday - In camp, go through whatever I have to, awaits songs selection
Tuesday - In camp, go through whatever I have to, received songs selection, starts thinking about who to do what
Wednesday - In camp, go through whatever I have to, confirm who doing what for saturday, start thinking of lighting
Thursday - In camp, go through whatever I have to, still thinking of lightings, confirm with others what else needs to be done
Friday - In camp, go through whatever I have to, more or less confirm lightings, go home, rush over for LGM (alternate weeks)
Saturday - Wake up, go out, reach church, starts putting on lightings, edit, change, rehearse, actual service, pack up, fellowship (usually reach home after 12midnight)
Sunday - Wake up, lunch at home/with friends, out with friends, home for dinner, pack for book in, book in..
And the cycle continues... At this point, I'd like to emphasize that I'm not complaining, just listing it down for myself to see actually.
Back to the conversation with my friend, I was sharing how tired I can get at times doing all these. I mean, it does get very draining over a period of time.. especially when the pace is fast and there's constant need to "upgrade".. it is good actually to constantly seek improvement, but sometimes too fast meant people can die off fast..
Well, at least I'm proud to have friends who are very supportive of me and encourages me along the way. I think thats why I'm still keeping on what I'm doing without regrets. And most importantly, its the joy of seeing everyone moving together and reaching for a higher cause.
Got reminded about a praise song that was sang a few times at service... the chorus goes:
Let God arise
Let God arise
Let us behold Him and bow down
He leads us all
Through battles won
God is our victory
We shall rise
Very true indeed. God has won everything for us.. so we don't have to worry so much about what is ahead. All we need is to walk the path that has been laid down for us. Very simple yet difficult thing to do.
In all, I'm still gonna give my all for LifeUnited cause I believe as Pastor DT has shared.. We are called LifeUnited because out of the ashes will come forth LIFE in Christ.
