oh, work

I woke up from a work-related nightmare last night. It seemed so real. I don't remember details anymore, but I definitely remember having it.

Hopefully, never again?

Overwhelmed

I have been around too many people these past few weeks. And I noticed that everyone seeks affirmation or validation, often from the people around them. I would like to make them feel valued because they are worthy of respect and dignity as God's creation. But I only have so much energy.

And I learned that I need to come back to God, and wait on him, and be filled again so that I can see others the way he sees them. I still need a lot of time alone. But I can spend time with people too, and give them the respect they need.

I have been so blessed to have been loved so deeply and generously inside and outside the church. So I need to give it my best shot!

Psalm 86:11-13

enough....

I love seeing old friends, and I like taking visitors around, but I've had too many of them in the last 12 months. No more for 2014, please.

I need to move to a deserted island, I really do.

too much

Can't bear to read the news anymore. So much fear-mongering and threats here in HK. And the divisions between friends and churches is getting to me. How does one work under such circumstances? Or bring peace into this situation? All this is really beyond me.

Homemade lip balm

A bit too yummy.
