My word of the day is 'discern'. Come to think of it, I have never experienced a 'not-busy' state in my life. I've always been busy reading, dreaming, planning, sleeping, studying, and caring my family for every second of my day. Honestly, that is why 'I'm busy' has become the main excuse for turning down new opportunities--even invitations from God Himself.
This year, I hope God would mold me into a wiser woman than my previous years. I pray God would cleanse me inside and out with the blood of Jesus Christ and make me a pure vessel that would hold and shine His light as He wishes. In order to do so, I desire to have courage to dicern my true motives--whether they are from fear and anxiety or from love and trust. I pray that God would be the only reason for me to make any decisions.

My word for today is output. Reading today's article I thought of a life with many inputs and few outputs. There are so many things coming in from the outer world but what has come out of me? My nickname I 'm using in the giving table is generative and it means generating something. what am i generating in my life? What is making me to hesitate to give out outputs Maybe fears of making poor outputs or getting evaluation from others?
I hope to give more of healthy outputs on my life this year, generating something meaningful in my life.

*Today's Word: Silence and Colander.
I've always liked to speak and have been anxious about silence and silence stillness.
I was a child I'm a chatty person who loves to talk. Even five minutes of silence is difficult for me. I used to shut up to meditate on the Bible, but my head always thought and asked questions. The image of myself I found in silence has always been complicated, constantly suspicious, and curious.
I'm inspired by the saying that “silence acts as a filter and helps tell me what to maintain.” I want to filter out my cluttered and unorganized mind and find the real me in it. It's just happy to imagine.
I want to hear my soul and mind speak in a life full of things coming in from a complicated world. You may have needed time to stop and listen to the most important God's words. I will be listening to five minutes of silence, not an overflowing prayer I have made for my own satisfaction and convenience.
I hope it's a time to calmly look into and get to know my heart and not anyone else.
* Is this the right way to do it? :)
Nice to meet you. I'm Nnow.

Dear &Now, I'm more than amazed by your presence! Thank you so much for choosing to participate in our Giving Table SE 5 :) With you, it is thrilling to be sitting at the table and nurturing our souls with the good text. Yes, of course you are doing it in the right way! I pray that you may find your time to sit still in silence. Of course, that is also one of many things I can't(physically/mentally/not being able to do) do at all.

My word of the day is ‘Stillness’. When I think about myself, I am shy and quiet person. So silence is not awkward. But stillness is different. Although I am not talking anything verbally, my body is always moving to do something.
So I think I especially need to be stillness in front of God’s presence. Our mind and soul are connected with our body. Because God created that way. So sometimes, I need to stop doing something in my daily life. Then for the first time, I can focus on my inner talking and God’s Words toward me.

Dear Andrea, thank you for sharing your thoughtful writing with us! Like you said, God created us so uniquely that our mind, soul, and body cannot survive this world without being connected. But sometimes, it feels more than impossible to be still--even for one minute. But I believe God is calling us to stop, and give our souls time to catch up with our body. Keep up the good work!

I picked this word, "stillness". Because this is my weakness. About 6months ago, my therapist gave me homework, "Be still" (not doing anything - not listening music, be still for 10 minutes everyday)
It is super hard for me. I was still for 7 minutes, in the end I grabbed a book. Even now, I'm listening "still" (praise song) haha.
Oh, God!
Today just for 10 minutes, before You
completely make me be still.
I live with so many things to do. There are so many things I want to do. Declutter to empty space in my life. 🙏

Dear Caris, how wonderful it is to be connected with you at the Giving Table once again! :) I thank you for your soul, my dear sister. Wow. Can't believe that was your homework given from the therapist! How thoughtful it is. I will also practice it from now on! Maybe starting from this very night, lying in bed >.<

My word from the podcast: Pretence
When adjusting to a new environment, new neighbors, it was a must to meet and mingle with new mothers in the area with some level of pretence. After numbers of meet-ups in the kids playground, I decided to dismiss myself from the group and focus on other things. And during this time of look-out to learn something new, I came across Coaching.
It was a time of confusion and disappointment but I had my Father in heaven with me, whom I trusted dearly that he is working in his plan to use my weaknesses and downfalls to do good in his will!
