Have i been lazy?

 

I’ve been here in Kelantan for 3 months now. Sat for an exam in last week—my first medical exam. It was scary coz there was so much to study and my friends and I were prepared to fail. Right after we finished our exams, we Chinese started rushing for our Moon Cake Festival which has been organizing an event which would be attended by 300 people. I was one of two emcees for the night.

Today, I messaged my mentors and told them this: “I feel like short-changing God. I’m tempted to skip church and CF to study and sleep…” It has been tiring studying medicine. It’s demanding and everyone is expected to study daily. I seem to be the only one in this course practicing Sabbath—a day of rest. While everyone else is in their room studying, I tell others that I’m taking a day off because that’s what my Father in Heaven has asked me to do. Now, I cannot finish covering my lecture notes. Does it mean that I'm lazy and that's why i allow myself a day of rest? But isn't this Daddy's gift to me?

Rest and grab it whenever you can. With Sabbath rest, you will actually get more done and more effeciently and joyfully as you will tune in better to God.This Sabbath rhythm concept is meant to help us trust God and enjoy God and thus if we do so, we will enjoy a more abundant life on earth!

Proud of you that you are tryuing hard to keep your Sabbath Day holy!!

amen to that, U.Paul!!! :)

just came back from a retreat and the teaching leader taught from Isaiah 53 and at the end of that chapter is about Sabbath. Challenged to "not do what i please" but what God pleases. And it's a time to enjoy God thus glorifying Him and a test of faith to trust Him also.

As you have said that you want to be salt and light for Jesus, this is one very real way of doing it.. keep it up *hugs*
