My day yesterday, 2/5/2019
We try to stack all office meetings on Tuesdays so that other days will be open for us to plan for whatever we need to do.
Had English team meeting in the morning, and staff meeting in the afternoon with an hour in between for lunch. By 3pm, with another hour to go at staff meeting, my heart wasn’t in it. My mind was engaged but I felt like I wasn’t in tune with God. It was just a meeting. I want to work on this. No matter what kind of meeting I’m in, I want to be aware of what God is saying, what he’s doing, what he’s saying through our team. The opposite is I insert my opinions, my preferences, and I get critical. That’s not the way I want to be.
I need to rein in my own agenda, and be more sensitive to what God is doing. He already knows what He’s going to do. In John 6:6 Jesus tested Philip but in fact he already knew that he would do a miracle of feeding the 5,000. God doesn’t need my opinions. He will do far more than I can propose or can even imagine.
For Lunar New Year today, we wanted to get a fresh chicken, but the place for that was closed for New Year 😛 Grandma got an organic chicken form Vons instead, without the head and tail. Not very traditional but that’s as close as we can get!
