I’ve come to realise that sleep is one of God’s special way of helping me cope with stress and loneliness. Have you ever woken up from a really deep sleep and felt so refreshed with the confidence to meet all of life’s challenges? Well, that was how I felt. I feel like a million tons has been lifted off my shoulders. Really want to thank God for His peaceful rest and sleep.
I did not set any resolutions this year (well except - to reduce my weight by faithful exercise and healthy eating). I’ve been doing some really hard soul searching since the beginning of the year. Seeking His face to pave the way and to light the path to the next step. I wondering if I should step up my commitments in Yangon when I know that this posting is not permanent. Barbara (my Yangon Church Pastor’s wife) was sharing with me on how she is doing some basic life and work skills workshop on Saturday afternoon. She is in need to facilitators to conduct the workshops in smaller groups and the size of the class is growing. She asked if I would be interested to help out. It is good way to reach out to the non-Christians in Yangon. Something is tugging in my heart to do so, but the flesh is not willing to sacrifice the Saturday afternoons. I’m going to visit this coming Saturday to see if this is something that I want to do, cause if I commit I have to go full steam ahead and there’s no turning back. Maybe I’ve been placed here in Yangon for such a time as this to touch even if it is to touch one soul, I would have fulfilled my calling here in Yangon. Well, praying hard if this is the right direction to take. Do pray along with me for clearer direction in this aspect of ministry. I shared with Barbara that I led the Speedlight musicians that is why she feels that I would be able to adept. Well, let’s see.
However, I still know that my special calling is in the area of music. Nothing connects me better that worshipping Him in praise and song. Even a simple song can still bring me to tears when in deep worship. I just love worshipping in song as it how He has created me. There just this joy bursting forth when I sing and worship Him. That’s just that. That is why I sing.
“Just to feel Your arms around me,
Just to know Your grace has found me.
Just to hear your voice surround me,
Calling my name.
Just to stand beside You knowing,
Promised that You’re never going
Never leaving, always holding
Holding my hand
That is why I live, that is why I move.
That is why my heart cannot go on without You.
That is why I sing, that is why I cry
That is why no other love but You will satisfy
That is why”
