My back seems getting better. People who have been praying for me - THANK YOU! God does listen to our prayers. After all, It's the Sweet Daily Living working. Sweet Daily Living is a life style that helps us to fix our eyes upon God. Every morning, the first thing I do when I just wake up is to talk to God and meditate on the essential truth in Him. When I feel God's presence, the whole me (my mind and my body) is totally relaxed.

Lately, I'm learning to rejoice in God continually. Some people may think it's a funny idea. But yeah, I think rejoicing in God is something we need to learn as it requires lots of faith. Actually it's a training of our faith and mind. Faith doesn't come easy. It takes time to build up our faith for God. And Faith is based on truth. Truth becomes our faith when we let it live in our "hearts" which I interpret as "minds". Again making truth alive in our minds is no easy task. It takes time and effort and it's an exercise (as Paul said). Actually, it's a conscious process - as we need to choose to focus on what grows our faith and to ignore what doesn't.

Honestly, I find it hard sometimes but I choose to rejoice in God instead of being upset. For He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is madeperfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about myweaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. (2 Corinthians 12:9 - NIV)
