Stress everyone has their own way of dealing with it... my question is, what do you do when you are tempted to stress?
for me, i need to take periodic "time-outs" and just spend the time with God... this usually happens after i get home from work... and i will not make time for other people if i have not made time for God first. sometimes it's a bit frustrating when people do not realize that, but that's life =P and it's kinda hard to explain to someone that i need to spend time alone with God and if that means being a bit more antisocial in the month of april, so be it =P
for those of you whom i haven't talked to in awhile, i'm still alive =P hehe and thank you for your prayers.
as i was driving home today, i started thinking if people can see Christ living in me even in the midst of such a crazy, hectic, exhausting work schedule.... i know at work some people have noticed that i pray before each meal... but is that all? does my life reflect Christ in the eyes of the unbelieving world... it is always such a big challenge when i think about it... can i be different in the way i handle stress from work? can i be different in the way i deal with screwed up files, annoying clients, pissed off partners, and anal coworkers? so very challenging =)
i know i can...but it is only possible if Christ is the centre of my life all the time... its got to be a conscious effort everyday... and every hour, every minute... the things i deal with at work, school, home, wherever i am --> Christ is the centre of them... and it's those times when i forget to honour Christ's supremacy in my life and lay my burdens at His feet that stress finds its way into my life... God renews me day by day... i defintiely don't deserve so much of God's grace in my life but i am very thankful for it...there is no one like Him.
Christ, be the centre of our lives. Be the place we fix our eyes. Be the centre of our lives. We lift our eyes to heaven, we wrap our lives around Your life. We lift our eyes to heaven, to You
