Saturday afternoon, I went to the Zoo with the family to celebrate May Ann's birthday. The evening time was spend with 2 of my secondary school friends together with Pastor Jeffrey for a dinner, drink and a game of soccer (err watching that is, not playing). Reached home at 1am on Sunday... something I have never done before having to preach at the children's service the same morning. One of my friends, CK from the night before, came to service and brought his 'beloved' XBox to test if it can be connected to our system for games time during our children service, so I had to host him in gratitute of his kindness. Had lunch with him and then after lunch, met with the HopeKids team for a wonderful time of teaching and discussing children caregroups. After that i spent a short time with a volunteer to discuss how to edit children lessons before ending my long weekend with dinner at my auntie's place.

These days, though outwardly things are going well, inwardly it hasn't been balanced. A bit topsy turvy, something that i cannot pin my finger on. I haven't really rested right and haven't had quality time with the Lord.

An hour of intimacy with God is the time I seek which I never really got. Not that I don't have an hour, its just that I don't have the right devotion. Spouse, kids, friends, work and ministry calls for the same thing. Hobbies, thinking, watching tv and even lazying around too. Without the correct devotion, everything else will appear fake, empty and illusionary.

If my life is a musical, I'll break into a song now. I'll sing this Van Morrison's tune (errr...with the backing of a full symphony orchestra hopefully)

" When will I ever learn to live in God?
When will I ever learn?
He gives me everything I need and more
When will I ever learn? "
