-Jesus was busy but He knew His limit, when to stop, when to retreat when to return
-when to slow down and be in silence and solitude
-were we too busy that we missed Jesus even if He is in front of us (Martha's problem)
-angry with people easily and irritable by things
it is in God that we find freedom and refreshed
-the secret ingredient is God
-we can be alone and quiet but if God is not there, there's no help
-engage in God
1. meditation
-is not mindfulness
-mindfulness = clearing mind
-engaging our mind with God's Word
-being strengthen by God's Word
meditating = any mental activity in the Word
-applying our mind to the Word of God
-simply quieten our heart and soul to receive and rest on God's love
-let go of the control
-be quiet and just trust
-soaking in God's love
-Christ in me and I in Christ.. not Christ for me
-not study and not mediating
-in contemplation is just sitting there enjoying God's presence without agenda
be real self in real God
