I enjoy times like these where it is just me and God. Taking pleasure in stillness and looking back at the week, removing myself from the activities of life. I think back upon the week, how I rushed from place to place, attended at least four project meetings in three days, interviewed for two days in a row, slept late, worried about the piling readings, felt overwhelmed, rejoiced that God answered my prayers, delighted in going through the entire day with Him walking beside me, smiled at how God used me in very interesting ways and at this, I sigh with a sort of relief that is mixed with satisfaction.
So many things happened, so many people met. But there is only one thing that I yearned for in this week, and that was His presence. The busier I was, the more I desired to commune with Him. The more overwhelmed I felt, the greater the need for His yoke and burden. And with this, my heart is filled with gratitude for who He is in my life. I cannot imagine my life without my creator. Where would I be, what would I be doing, how would I live life? I really cannot imagine. I think about tomorrow’s evangelistic cell barbeque- about the friends we have invited, and I am smiling, because I know that this might be the beginning of a life they have never imagined.
Looking around the canteen, there is no one in sight except another guy who has just began to furiously type on his laptop. I am just embracing this moment, enjoying every single bit of this feeling and loving it. Smiles, Lord, You are truly amazing.
