Oh dear.. It has been 2 months and a week since I last blogged!
It has been a really busy 2 months. Orthopaedics posting went well. Then studying for patho exams.. In between lots of ministry stuff to do at church. Bible studies.. Talking and building relationships with group members. Ministry is tough.
But God's word is always good. Luke 10:41 "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered,"you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." Context of this is that Martha was busy preparing for Jesus' meal and stuff, while Mary sat at Jesus feet listening to him. And Martha had lamented about Mary not helping her, and even expressed dissatisfaction and unhappiness with Jesus. I think it's just so easy to suffer from the "Martha" syndrome.. Oh it's not fair, Lord, why do I have so many things to do? Why are people not appreciative? Why is life so hard? Why is medicine school so competitive and stressful? But Jesus' reply is simple. Just sit at his feet and listen to his word. What does it mean for us? It means we got to have a healthy relationship with him. And like all earthly relationships, it can only be sustained through communication. And communication with God? Hearing him through his word, the bible. Talking to him through prayers. I really need to put on the "Mary" attitude and come to God daily..
Last night's evening expositions by David Jackman was really good. Haven't felt so rejuvenated after a sermon for some time.. Will blog about it some other time.
Holidays are here! Rejoice.. Relax.. Refuel.. =)
