.: Are you really Busy? :.
A day in the life of Miss Lim
6am: Rise and Shine
7am: Report to school
715am: Teachers from various departments meet to discuss the weeks work.
Well basically today the students get to come in later to sch at 815am.
So fortunate rite? Haha...
815am: School assamble
845am-1045am: 1h of relief duty and PE lessons
1115am-1215pm: Woh! Finally.. time to grab a bite...
1215pm- 115pm: Haha.. THE TEST for my Maths class.
115pm-200pm: Woops.. managed to get a quick bite outside of school with the
help of CAR... my mentor and me "sneak" out of school for lunch
215pm-315pm: Last lesson for many.. which ended up I had to once again take
for relief duty.
315pm onwards: By then I was almst dead tired, with the fact that I am still not well.. and have test papers to mark...
430pm: Went off from school to meet cheryl to talk and also to drop by Joadine's house void deck to deliever "Ai Xin" Food for her.
530pm: Headed back home with Son on the bus and rushed back to cook dinner
615pm: Reached home, stepped into the house, drop my bag, off into the kitchen I go. Came back in the mist of tension between my brother and sister.... Hai...
730pm: Parents were back and finally I was done with dinner... and could take a breadther as I went to wash up and change out of my PE attire.
730pm-8pm: This was only the second time since my brother came back, where we sat down as a family together at home, with dinner cooked to eat together. Since there was already "war" spark of before, hence the entire dinner followed that was "Peace treaty aggrement" to the "war".
8pm: Thankfully this time round, my dad told me he will wash the dishes, so I only did the pots and pans and offf to the days ironing to be done. Yup it was a heap of clothes to be ironed, not just mine but the whole family's clothes.
930pm: It was only then where I managed to get to seat down and rest, yup and after a really long days work!Even as I end of my day today.. something just struck me.... Woh! I really had a long day today.. and well most of the days when I have to be at home to cook dinner will normally be like this. Actually had to settle many admin matters after 930pm. I am already super tired and can literally just drop on my bed and sleep. Frankly speaking, the thought of having to climb out of bed the next morning at 6am again really makes me dread it.
Anyway you must be wondering why would I put up the things I did today on the blog. My question to all is, Are we actually so busy each day? For me, my whole week this week has been almost like this, adding on that I am not well. If we are so busy, then what are we busy with? Have we been able to prioritise our time in the mist of this busy week to spent time to with God, to find out a bit about one another's life this week?
Even as I retire for the day today, it has been the time which I had been looking forward to the whole day, not because I could finally sleep on my comfortable bed, but it is finally I can have my quiet time with God. It is really not easy, as I also have this tendency to read a little and feel tired, but I know there is always this sense of renewal of His strength in me as I approach Him with a tired body and mind. With that refreshness in my spirit, I know I am once again ready for the new challenging day ahead the next day!
How have you been yearning for the Holy Spirit even in the mist of that Pile of work, that lack of sleep, the many test and exams that are coming up, the stress you are feeling? Take time to even pounder through again!
