This is a little late to say merry christmas, but I didn't have the time nor energy to blog until all the madness is over @_@;;
Work had been busy as usual for December every year, because we are in a mall and mall hours extended for December, and more people fill their prescriptions while they are shopping in the mall, and there are those people who get prepare and stock up before the holidays. Church has been busy with practices and rehearsals for christmas celebrations, and christmas parties. And then one of my assistants had her engagement party before christmas too, so that also take preparation. Our family don't do christmas shopping, and I can't image what it would be like if I had to join the madness in the mall for shopping christmas gifts @_@;;
The christmas eve service at church was very very good. We had different skits through a theme, and we choir sang 2 songs within the program at the appropriate place. I think we did very well in singing actually this time. The skits were also good. Good acting too. The last skit was like a dance with music and no talking, and I found that the best and most touching. When I saw that the second time we rehearse, I was teared up. There was a girl who was created by God and live happily with God from the beginning. And then she met the temptation and disturbance from the world, like chasing love from dating, going after money, partying and having fun, and chasing the worldly concept of beauty and slim, which brings her a lot of pain and wrong self-image, and she has no one to reach out to. Then she wanted to reach out to God. While all the earthly things were trying to consume her and blocking her from going back to God, God is there to pull her back with a big rope with His strength, against the force that pull her to go the other side. That was what touched me the most. God is always there, He doesn't give up. He always try to bring us back to Him. And of course, in the dance, God won and kept those worldly lust from the girl and the girl was free and happy to be with God again. I told myself not to look at the skit too deeply at the real program, otherwise I would cry and I wouldn't be able to sing afterwards, 'cause we choir were singing on the stage shortly after that skit.
So, after all these, yesterday, Christmas day, were pretty much just a rest day. I slept for all the "sleeping debts" I had accumulated for the past week e.e;; And then the rest of the day I was just playing video games. I badly need sometime just to relax. It's been quite stressful for the past week, and I had been so lack of sleep. It was like a vicious
cycle. I had been so busy, so I was lack of sleep. And because I was lack of sleep, the brain was all stressed up, and then because the brain was stressed up, it was hard to fall asleep and I didn't sleep well within the limited time I had for sleeping. Now the holiday is a good time to relax. XD
I hope you are not as stressed up as I was. May God's peace be with you all.
