what do you think about when you are on the train?

Sometimes, it seems as though our thoughts are in replay mode. Its almost too obvious what is important to you, to the point it almost, almost becomes an obsession.i think about A, then B, then scroll through whatever i can find on the little phone screen, and then think about A, then B again. 

“You are the LORD, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you" 

A reminder of the great God I worship. I've been reading a book about prayer - which talks about how prayer shifts our perspective. Instead of looking upstream (from our problems - looking for someone who can do something about it), we ought to look at it downstream.  First we focus on God and who he is, and then we look at our problems/circumstances, from his perspective.  In many things, its all about perspective. posture. attitude. 

As I continue into my second year of work, I'm glad that my perspective towards work has changed - for the better. I am beginning to see why I am where I am, and I am beginning to see the lives of the people I see daily in a different light.  I am beginning to see that work can be a blessing - not just for the financial security, but for the opportunity to partner our Father to take care of this earthly world those who live in it.  

That being said, I am truly looking forward to my break! (: Have never been to hong kong before so I have no idea what to expect. But I'm excited! for all the yummy food, the getaway from work, and the precious time spent with my parents. I'm incredibly thankful for my family and j's family - who have accepted the other half of us so wholeheartedly into the family.  Sunday dinners have become a regular thing that it feels odd when I havent been over in a week - they treat me like one of them (almost) and well justin's definitely a part of us(: 

I'm so so excited for the year ahead - with a few trips already planned. and all else that the year has to bring. 20 days has already passed and the year is going to fly by before we know it. enjoy every moment x
