Re-gaining Energy and More!

I've slowly been re-gaining some energy these days... being sick is definitely not fun, but it does "force" you to rest, which is always needed for me ;) It's been good to be a bit more busy and have things going on again... though I never want to move away from those restful/quiet moments contemplating and so forth...

The word that seems to keep popping up these days has been the word, "REVIVAL." Everytime I hear the word, something in me says, "mmmmm...." Why is that? I think all of us need some form/type of revival in our lives... whether it be corporate or personal... we all need to be revived in a lot of ways, in different areas of our lives. It does not mean a highly emotional hysteria where people work themselves into a frenzy and do senseless things which bring discredit to the Lord's name. Revival is a time when Christians are restored to their first love for Christ, when sham and hypocrites are exposed, when bitterness and strife which exist in the body of Christ as revealed and when such changes are effected in the lives of Christians that sinners are brought to Christ in great numbers. There are struggles and deep emotions stirred in the process of returning to our first love.

Re-kindle the love... Re-kindle the flame...Re-kindle the passion for your name!

Bring revival God... first within myself and then to your church... We need you more than ever and it is our deepest desire to know and serve you =)

Sick...

I have never been so sick in a long time... Since Friday night (after Missionfest Toronto), I've been "under the weather" with headaches, nausea, runny nose... the whole works. It's so not fun being sick. I can't concentrate, think, function properly... it's so limiting! I guess it's a good thing, because just before I got sick, I was complaining to my sister how much there is to think about and feeling a bit overwhelmed at all the changes going on in my life. Maybe this is a good time for me to lay low and not be as active and involved as before...

Even still... I hate being sick =(
