It's good to be t.i.r.e.d

Glad to be back to my healthy days :)

I've been sick for a week, feeling dizzy and tired for whole 4 days have brought up my spirit to do something BIG for my GOD!!

I'm reading a book called "Jesus, save me from Your followers". When I saw it in WORDS bookshop, my eyes was locked in and I knew immediately that's a book for me. Some of my friends do not get it though when they first read the title of the book.

However, this book is a testimony of a Pastor in US. Telling us about the struggles of dealing with christians leaders and ministers instead of non-christians. There's a phrase which I read when I was sick "When you are tired, do it tired!"

When I was sick, I couldn't do things that I want to do. And it seems like ages waiting wait patiently 'til I'm good to go. As we all know, when we feel un-ease, we delay all the things that we want to do. Excuses lying around for us to grab... when actually we could just make our choice and go for it!

Until few days ago, t.i.r.e.d is what I felt in my ministry life, my work life and other things in my life. I just feel like I'm not going anywhere, so tired and exhausted that I decided to stop everything that I'm doing. I grab the excuse of "before I go on.. I need to fill up my energy first."

"Do it tired" opened my eyes to a new revelation. For these whole time, I says "when u're tired, stop and take rest til you're completely recharged". But here the author says "when you are tired don't just stop but open more to God and your surrounding. It's not an excuse to stop, it is just a state of condition. The same state when you are busy or bored, happy or sad, you just keep going. And even he added that this state is actually an opportunity to free more capacity in your life for God to fill. How beautiful that is.

So it's good to be t.i.r.e.d, empty that space that's not needed and lets God fill it with new things!
