I think about alot of things everyday and I really do treasure my long slow walks back from the MRT station. I take time to talk to God and sometimes, I talk to myself (like you’ve already known):

a) I think and thank God that I’m home and I’m helping out in Project Serve’09 at SYFC. and I remember how important it is to spend time wisely (Eph 5:15-17) and I know that investing time like this pleases God, even though sometimes it gets tiring and weary and after every day I feel like when I reach home I’m totally brain dead. 

b) and everytime I walk home I think about the interesting project servants I come in contact with. They are all so unique, and yet in each burns with passion to make Christ known in little ways or big ways. I want to like get to know each and everyone better! I feel very encouraged.

c) I think about baking and feel happy :] It’s been 3 consecutive days I’ve been trying dorie greenspan recipes. and they are SO good. She is an awesome cook. I want to bake everyday, because when I leave, I wouldn’t have the chance until 5 months after. So, I’m making use of every opportunity. I know why I like baking so much: because it trains my patience. I realised that it’s something that cannot be rushed. if the muffins have to sit and cool, they have to sit and cool. you can’t use a fan to try and cool them because they get hard and people mistake them for scones. It requires much precision too: if you have to use the mixer for 4mins, its that exact 4mins. any shorter and your ingredients are not mixed well, any longer and the ingredients start to disintegrate. What disciple that baking trains! and, it makes other people happy too- even when some take my baking for granted and say that they’re “free breakfast” and eat without saying thank you some more! but baking makes me happy because it makes others happy :] 

d) I think I am far from perfection, but God still blesses abundantly. yes, I am not perfect and my heart aches that I always miss perfection by that little bit. but I’m glad that I miss perfection by that little bit because in God’s grace and mercy that missing of perfection always keeps my humility in check and reminds me that I could not have made it alone. It was truly by God’s grace :]

e) and for the many other things I have to think about. All I hope for is that my thoughts are guided by the holy spirit and that they glorify God. because that is what it means by loving God with my heart, soul, mind and strength. 

pray with me.
