Why can't we reach for help

before we hit the panic button?

[icanfeelyourwhisper]

Before they left the garden, God whispered a promise to Adam and Eve: “It will not always be so! I will come to rescue you! And when I do, I’m going to do battle against the snake. I’ll get rid of the sin and the dark and the sadness you let in here. I’m coming back for you!” And he would. One day, God himself would come.

I may have erred

on how to balance everything in my life but, I find that I have erred on the side of fullness of depth of abundance.

So, one sick day seemed good

...but TWO? How can I take two? 

Yet, two I shall take, in the name of "self-care".

Also in the name of "self-care" today: No wedding related planning or research. This is a tough one. Within 10 mins of making this step of faith today, I had a search typed into google and had to verbally say, "no!", close the window and open up tumblr to write about it.

Being sick

Today is Day 3 of fighting a fever, feeling weak, headaches and coughing. some reflections:

not too long ago, I may have thought, "I cannot afford to get sick. I have to much to do." I still have a lot to do...but today, I am sick and my to-do lists for work, church and life will just have to sit on the back burner.

I hate being sick. It's only been three days and it feels like suffering. But truly it is nothing compared to the battle that many people face around me. e.g. my cousin Tony who is in month 11 in his fight against cancer. Or my mom who suffers daily (even hourly) from generalized anxiety disorder.

Earlier this semester, I caught a cold, similar to what I am experiencing now. My method of recovery last time was working from home, inhaling cough drops on the hour every hour, light runs & workouts when my body could handle (I was training for my 1/2 marathon still). It took me about almost 2 weeks to recover from a common cold! This is Day 3 of minimal interaction with ppl, minimal movement, minimal exertion...and I think I am on the tail end of this cold. Yay me for learning how to take a sick day!

I Can Feel Your Whisper turned 3 today!

Happy Birthday to Tumblr-Me! :)

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.

"When Jesus is near, all is well and nothing seems difficult. When He is absent, all is hard. When Jesus does not speak within, all other comfort is empty, but if He says only a word, it brings great consolation."

Oh, hey Spring. Glad you could finally make it out.

Here, I am in the presence of the great Artist. I am his student, admiring his craft. Here, there is stillness. Here, there is peace. And my heart begins to settle. #winterwalks
