I will remember you...

Just the other morning when I awoke and was reading my daily devotion, I stumbled upon a well-known story in the bible...it was the story of Joseph. (One of my all-time favourites). Surprisingly, the verse that I read seemed oh so familiar - except a tiny little detail that caught my attention and thus lead me to ponder on something that I've been struggling with lately, and nope, this isn't one of my 'post-graduation syndromes' as I like to diagnose it. (Or perhaps it is) but that's not the point. It's about the gift of remembering and Genesis 40 captures the moment Joseph (who ironically is the captain guard in the prison he is kept in) interprets two prisoners dreams and Joseph asks a simple yet, significant favour afterwards,

¹⁴ But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.

Taking time-out…

‘We need times of solitude and silence. We need times of refreshment, laughter and rest. We need to listen to the voice of God in our hearts as he tells us what we need.' – Captivating, by John & Staci Eldredge

I have just returned from a week-long camping holiday called FOCUS with my church family, which was hosted by HTB church network and was situated in the small town called Mablethorpe (far east-cost of England). It was simply magnificent. If I go on to describe just how awesome it felt to truly zone out from all the distractions of life and FOCUS on God…I would bore you with all the details. But it really got me thinking about the importance of taking time-out. This is something I particularly struggle with. The idea of putting a break to everything, simply letting go, inhaling and exhaling rest and exercising a prayerful lifestyle in exchange to living on a busy schedule and constantly being ‘proactive’ is not easy. How many of us really enjoy times of solitude and silence when presented with the opportunity?
