sleep sleep sleep

I keep sleeping! Besides my 8 hours of sleep at night, I take another 2 naps in the day, one in the late morning and one in the late afternoon! Mostly, when I'm awake, I read. Currently, my book of choice now is 'Too Busy NOT to Pray' by Bill Hybels. Bill Hybels is the senior pastor of Willow Creek Community Church, which sees about 20,000 attendees each weekend! But this book is relatively easy to read and I find him as an author honest and sincere.

When I was doing my devotion in the morning, it came to the 'time to listen God speak' part. So as I kept quiet for a while, I started hearing lotsa chirping from the birds outside. It was really sweet chirping! Immediately, I was reminded of the Bible passage about how God feeds the birds and how much more He will feed us. So, I managed to find that in Matt 6. As I read it repeatedly, God revealed to me that deep in my heart, I'm not exactly entrusting my future to Him. I often wondered if I would be successful and rich next time, and what kind of exciting career prospects am I heading for. If I were to really trust God, then there shouldn't be any second back-up plans for the 'just-in-case'.

Everyday I learn that, everyday is a new surrender to God.
