A Glimpse of Me

My friend noticed some red spots on her face that eventually became itchy and noticeable. Desperate to get rid of it, she tried on some facial treatments popularized by tv commercials. She was so disappointed that her skin got redder and the itch was bothering her even at night! She is a teacher and nothing could be more embarrassing than to be stared at by her students who did not have the guts to ask what is wrong with her face. The agony of being dreaded was there, too. Like some people are so afraid they might be contaminated with some sort of disease she was carrying. I told her she needed to go see the doctor if they could give her an effective eczema treatment. Self-medication do cut down the cost alright, but its side-effects could probably make us spend some more! Nothing is safer than consulting an expert, don’t you think?

I know that I have been neglecting my blogs now. I need to really sit down and list down some things to improve my blog’s seo (search engine optimization). But it has been a long time since I have been doing the seo thingy. I think I need to check from a seo software. Right now, I can only remember the basic stuff like increase your traffic, exchanging of links, registering my blogs in free directory, etc.Hopefully, this year, I can go back into this to improve my blogs.

I have a round features. My face is not round though… It’s a pear-shaped face. But it does look round because of my round features. The good thing about having a round feature is you get to look younger than your age. And it tends to look firmer that one doesn’t need to use firming face cream. But I guess it all depends on how you take care of your face. I, for one, is not very good in maintaining a good routine for my face. Sometimes (not all the time), I would be too sleepy I neglect to wash my face before sleeping. It’s a bad habit to form and I am really trying hard to do it regularly. But really… sometimes, I can’t help but sleep without washing my face. Sigh.

I know I am in need of colon cleansing and weight loss regime. But I think those can wait. I am just too tired to be thinking about them now. Maybe, after I recover from jet lag, I can plan on it again. For now, I just want to rest. What am I saying.. after taking a 23-break from my normal routine, I should feel very refreshed and ready to get back to normal life. I am probably having a holiday hang over. So yeah, I need to rest.

“God has told his people,
‘Here is a place of rest;
let the weary rest here.
This is a place of quiet rest.’
But they would not listen.”

Isaiah 28:12

encouragement for today

What does God long to do for his people, as expressed here? Give them rest! He does not desire that they be oppressed by enemies all the time. He desires rest, peace, for his people. The reason they did not experience this was that they would not listen. God wants to bless you! He wants to give you rest. If you believe anything else, it’s a lie. Don’t be dull of hearing; listen for his voice. He’s speaking to you right now—through this word, through the Spirit’s gentle invitation: “Come and rest. This is a place of quiet rest.”

Our God has been telling us to rest. I feel so guilty about this. I need to rest. Literally, I need to. God doesn’t want us to rest emotionally and spiritually. He also wants us to rest physically. This is good for our health. We might not need to use and look for the best wrinkle serum because enough rest will surely prevent our skin from early aging. Let us indeed come and rest.
