After 10 weeks of work, now I have time to just rest and relax. This week is our term break so I can pretty much do whatever I want. There's so much free time in my hands that I don't know what to do first.
Of course, I am excited to spend time with God. Ever since term 3 started in January, it was all rush, rush, rush. There was never enough time to just wait upon God and just be still in His presence. Now, I have a whole week all to myself. I will do exactly just that. Just fellowship with Him. Just spend time with Him.
But then I also have to do some serious cleaning. Over the past 4 years here in Indonesia, I have acquired so much stuff that I really have to throw some of them. Some of my friends call me "basurera" (trash-keeper). It seems so hard for me to throw stuff because I always think that I might need them in the future. I still have some receipts for bills paid in 2003... Some wrappers of presents given to me in Christmas of 2004... I have tons of plastic bags of all sizes--small, medium, large, even extra large! Lord, give me the grace to really be able to clean up all the trash. I need wisom and discernment! Hahaha!
Speaking of "cleaning up the trash", I also have a lot of reflecting to do. I need to ask God to reveal to me the things that He wants me to "throw away". I know that in order for me to be able to love Him fully and serve Him effectively, I have to let go of a lot of things in my life and to do some "soul-cleaning".
Thank you, Lord. I know that this will be a wonderful week. Let me see Your face God. I long to know You more. May my life be in tune to Your will. I just long to be Your greatest lover. Teach me to wait upon You.
