Simplicity

"Simplicity- Taking action to align one’s exterior world with one’s interior values and commitment to God.(2 Corinthians 4:18)

Through simplicity, we become consistent. We live out the values we profess; we discard what doesn’t serve us. Simplicity can help us overcome the general sense of “hurriedness” that hounds us daily. We become focused, energized and fruitful. We feel complete—not pulled in many directions, but rather in the one that really matters."

in a way, i think melb has helped me to appreciate simplicity much more.

woke up really early today. wanted to snooze more, but cant seem to fall back to sleep. am not quite sure why, but yeah, it sure feels good waking up feeling pretty sane early in the morning. i desire this freshness everyday!

probably the key to good sleep, is when you have completed the day with a surrendered heart to Him. prayers and worship to restful sleep. :))

now finally, i think the verse by my bedside lamp makes sense. "I lie down and sleep; I wake again because the Lord sustains me."- Psalms 3:5.

prayer meet was a refresher for the spirit and the soul indeed. :) it was a good time to exercise the true meaning of "surrendering" to Him in worship and prayers.

hearing the prayer needs of others stirred my heart, deeply. particularly one. it was timely. and i thought there and then, what will Jesus have done if He was me in the seat.

He will have surrendered the pain and load to our Father, and go forth to encourage others with His experience. afterall, He has His purpose for everything. do i trust Him? :)
