overworked

My body feels tired, my mind feels tired, and I severely lack quality sleep and rest. After 10 days of non-stop work, thinking, brainstorming, travelling out of residence for events, meeting people, attending conferences, preparing for talks, and meeting more people for projects, I have to say that I'm tired and I need some rest.

I finally managed to find some time to catch a breather today, just to keep things in check and refocus myself. I am constantly reminded of Paul's message to the Colossians. The immensity and greatness of God never bores me. It tells me how small I am, and that I should be thankful for the gospel. Yet, a lot of times, I feel like a part-time Christian. The truth, however, is that there's no such thing. It's binary. Yes, or no, not both.

Taking my mind off work to read the bible has helped me to find rest and comfort. My focus is on Christ. I have put off the old, and already put on the new, and I shall live in a manner that is Christ-like to reflect that. Results, resumes, exposures, and 'good team dynamics' can only bring me that far in life. Jesus brings life.

'Focus on Christ, focus on Him alone.'
