5 More Minutes??

Just wanna share a little something


Parents went on for a holiday the past three days, so it was a moment of celebration from the tip to the toe in everyway, but either way I was assigned to help replace mom in the homeschooling center when she's gone... !@#$%^

Either way one part of it was to give a short sharing... in which I have no idea what to share, was thinking of what to share and ended up falling asleep and waking up in the morning wonder what to talk about, and ah yes I was almost late for work because mainly... I was lying on my bed, alarm rang and then I just told myself:

"why not 5 more minutes??"

And in which that became a short sharing that morning, why do we actually want to spend more extra time sleeping?? Knowing that we if we were to say 5 more minutes, it might actually turn out to be 5omin, or maybe even 5hrs, why?? One simple reason is because if feels so good, wrapping yourself inside the blanket with the aircond on and it's raining outside... it just feels so comfortable where we are~

Reminded by what happened in the Bible of the story of Moses in the Tabernacle after he had his moment with God, Moses left the tent, but what I liked was the part when they said that Joshua stayed back in the tent, why?? Don't know... But I guess one of the main reason was because the presence of God was so strong, it felt so nice, so good, that who can resist to not stay and dwell there for another 5 more minutes??

Even for our Christian walk, or maybe even in little things like reading our Bible and Pray everyday, not many of us have the heart to do it, not many of us would even find the need or see the importance of doing it, but believe me that time spent in His presence is not a wasted time, you can dwell in the presence of God for 5hours just by doing nothing but being still and waiting for Him to speak to you, and that's not a wasted time, every second being in the presence of a Mighty God isn't wasted time, but it's a wonderful experience...

it's a wonderful thing if you were to think about it, why we would wanna spend 5 more minutes in bed is because we know that it feels good, and it's so nice to just stay on the bed. But have we came to a point to 'know' that it feels good to dwell in God's presence?? and by experience telling ourselves that it's not wasted time to be with Him, that spending time with God has no timing, it doesn't need a schedule, but just spending a little time with Him, letting Him reveal Himself to you~ and hey... by experience you would really start to love being in His presence, that you wouldn't even mind telling yourself

"Why not 5 more minutes??"
