Of Multitasking And Flying Cards

Impact this week started off with a heartfelt time of worship led by Miss Shin Lin! (it was her first time, whoooh! :D) Then, we had the wonderful privilege of having the best 'guest speaker' cos he has the special ability of taking in loads of oxygen (GAS speaker, HOHOHO) of all, our very own beloved,

  

THE JEFF CHOK!

Look! He so special. He SHARES on a CHAIR, HA HA HA :D

Okay, CHEESECAKE! *that was originated from me you know! :'D AHAHA* Anyway, Jeff shared with us about MULTITASKING.

Yes, multitasking here refers to:

Responding to people's questions while being hooked onto your electronic devices

Studying while logging on to Facebook at the same time

'Listening' to sermons in church while fiddling with your cellphones 

Doing your homework while listening to your favourite Taylor Swift song., ETC.

Multitasking can also refer to focusing on too many things at a time, until you become unproductive in all the things you needed to accomplish.Well, yes, it is true that God has given us the ability to multitask (imagine not being able to breathe while doing anything at all! Jordin Sparks different la, she NO AIR ma), but it doesn't mean we have to always put that ability into use, as multitasking may be useful at times, but at other and most times, harmful.

What I absorbed the most from Jeff's sharing today was that multitasking can actually affect your relationships with God, and with others.

Mark 12:30-31- "Love the Lord your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbour as yourself'. There is no commandment greater than these."

Remember, God said, the two greatest commandments are to love Him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and to love your neighbour as yourself.  So we're not going to neglect these two great commandments by multitasking excessively and possibly affecting our relationship with God and others, are we? Here, I give you another verse to reflect on!

Luke 5:16- "But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed"

Sometimes, we just have to take a break from the world, quit multitasking and being busy so much and spend some time alone with God; in prayer, just like Jesus did. To cut down on facebook, and face reality instead, which we know we CANNOT pull through alone, but only with and by God's strength.

After form discussions, the Impacters then had fun and fellowship; some played games upstairs, some played Mafia in the lounge and some.... (haiyo, *shakes head*)

HI, MARCUS! :D

LEON, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM! :P

Yeah, you get the picture. They had loads of fun with some 'flying cards'. So much joy found in a deck of cards :) Heehee.

So yup, Impacters, please do reflect on what Jeff has shared today. And have a blessed week ahead of you! 

REMEMBER, DON'T JUST FACEBOOK, FACE PEOPLE'S FACES! :)

God bless!
