Frankly… it’s been tough 2 weeks.. back to the drudgery of life.

It’s especially difficult coming from a ‘high’ experience of a missions trip etc.

Time and again.. I guess I had to remind myself what I shared with the team at end of our trip… The very thing I ‘preached’ I’m now struggling to practice. =(

Yet again I’m reminded from Oswald Chambers (in ‘My utmost for His highest’) that… “We are not meant to be seen as God’s perfect, bright-shing examples, but to be seen as the everyday essence of ordinary life exhibiting the miracle of His grace” He goes on to say, “Drudgery is the test of genuine character. The greatest hindrance in our spiritual life is that we will look for big things to do. Yet, “Jesus… took a towel and …. began to wash the disciples’ feet… (John 13:3-5)”

“The routine of life is actually God’s way of saving us between our times of great inspiration which comes from Him. Don’t always expect God to give you His thrilling moments, but learn to live in those common times of drudgery of life by the power of God.”
