Stop and come with me

Well last Saturday as I was sharing with my cell, pris talked about her vision was when she was praying with me and the rest too. It was a gift box from god. And inside the box was a stopwatch. When I heard that I was abit curious about why I got a stopwatch. Well obviously the first thought I had was that I was rushing to much in my day. i thought it was abit weird cause the pass few days I've been really free and joyful praise the lord especially on my way to school, which has been absolutely great! So during my day for today, I started to think on why I received a stopwatch from god?

As I was wondering about this, I realized that many times as I walked to the bus-stop on the way to school, I will be feeling full of joy as I passed the sun although you can see it from wherever you are. But I felt that I was praising god while I was doing something else. But I felt that actually of just walking continuously, I should have just stopped and exalt in the lord as I gazed upon the bright and shining sun.

Anyway as I was on my way to school this morning, I started to plan what I'm going to do after school all the way until night. So i decided to go home after school and then go ado. But when I reached home, I was quite tired and started to doze off. Then I felt god telling to rest first and at night to come away with him. So I just slept and then went to ado for an hour. And you know whenever I go to ado, I always have to bring my journal so that if I get restless, I can start writing instead of being still and quiet to listen to the voice of god. But when I went to ado earliar, I just sat down and talked to god for awhile and then I just was still and started to stop all thoughts coming to my mind and just dwell in the presence of the lord. It was so peaceful although it was a little difficult in the beginning but after awhile, it just felt like god was sitting beside me anmd whispering into my ear what he needed to tell me. The feeling was just so incredible!

So ultimately I understood why I receive a stopwatch from god, it was actually because he qwanted me to always stop and come waay with him more often and not just when I troubled. The stopwatch was given to me to prove that I'm in charge of what I do everyday and I'm in control of my time and I can choose whether I should come away with him. For many times, we say that we haven't had time to spend time with the lord but actually its because we're in such a hurry in this life that we fail to just some for moment.

But the main message from my silent time with god earlier was "To be Patient" in all I do especially the things I ask in prayer to. But I'm really happy with what god is teaching me! Praise God!
