Today I de
cided to stay at home and try to recover. I was feeling sick and drained from my stomach fluctuations so I thought a day off would be good.
I spent the morning in bed mostly and did a lot of thinking and praying. I mean earnest prayer out loud. Usually if I pray in my head, my mind seems to wander and I lose focus on what I’m praying about. So, of late I have been praying out loud whilst I’m on my own. Because I’m totally isolated from everything I know and am used to, I find that my prayer life and communion with God is becoming a much bigger part of my life since I’m out here.
I’ll be teaching the older teen’s group at a Vacation Bible School next week and the stuff we’re teaching is based on Hebrews. So during putting some washing on and drinking lots of tea (earl grey), I worked my way through Hebrews.
It’s a great book with some really encouraging scriptures, but I found I had to concentrate a lot to understand a lot of what was written.
The rest of the day was spent watching some Indian TV and playing guitar. I had also packed all my bags in readiness for moving to my new place. I really feel in need of my own space. Raj is great and so is his flat, but it’s quite cramped and I’m never on my own just spending time by myself. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a social recluse, I just to have my own space once in a while. I suppose being in India I have to get used to being
surrounded all of the time.
My new place has lots of room, a large bedroom, lounge, kitchen and bathroom. IT’S ACE!
