IT's been a while since I last put up a blog post.. why?...BUSY with wedding prep and work...and I have no internet at my new place at the moment.
On leave today.. so i thought I should put up a new post..
Burnt out from work...terribly burnt out. every morning I dread pulling myself out of bed to work. I think about work before I sleep and first thing in the morning..that's terrible huh.. I think about work all the time..almost going nuts from the stress.
I just long for a good break... well i thank God for the break today. I realised that I have been jeopardizing my relationship with God.. This lifestyle is BAD...very bad..What should I do? hmm...a job offer just came in recently..all of a sudden. A pretty good offer I think..but I have not decided whether I should make the move.
Never knew what it's like to change job.. haha..but well..got to experience it someday ya. But this experience of burning out made me realise a number of things. I have come to re-evaluate what I want in life and my priorities. I don't want to have a lifestyle that jeopardizes my relationship with God, with hubby, with family and friends. We are made for WORK and RELATIONSHIPS... We can't just allow work to overwhelm us.
In the midst of this struggle.. I still want to thank God for being by my side.. He has never forsaken me.. though I might have forsaken Him. I would have died from this burn-out if not for His Word which nourishes my tired soul.
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He leads me beside green pastures and beside quiet waters. He restores my soul..." (Psalm 23)
I know God is delivering me and healing me now.. His Word has brought my new life....I just love Psalms..
Now I understand why God says that we must meditate on the Book of the Law day and night..Cos if we don't, we will meditate on many other things..negative thoughts..worries etc...thoughts which would never glorify God.
I am still on the road to recovery and I am so glad I am married to a great and godly man who loves me whole-heartedly....everyday...
"All things work for the good of those who love God..."
God loves me and Wenguang... His blessings are countless.. we can testify to that.. haha...there's just so much to share.. =)

My dear, if you have an opportunity to re-evaluate job choices and priorities, GRAB it and THINK carefully. You're most right, no one can appreciate a burnt out coworker, employee, wife or minister. =) love you!
