Friday night

hello dear, how was your day? miss you.

Today is friday, I was supposed to have church care group at night but not a lot of us were available tonight, so instead of having our own gathering, I with another two girls joined a fellowship night at church.

It’s basically is a bigger group gathering (around 60-80 people) for youth at 30s. The format is kind of in between sunday service and care group, so there’s a mini-sermon at the start and then we all broke into small groups for sharing.

It’s my first time attending this fellowship gathering. I actually don’t know anyone except the two girls from my care group (and even them are not super close to me), so I was quite surprised that I felt quite comfortable to be there. I felt it was quite a suitable setting for me to share some of my faith related thoughts, and I also kinda like to hear what others have to share.

But still, even though I feel like I seem to be quite comfortable so far to participate in this kind of community activities at church, I realise these are still quite tiring for me mentally, probably because it requires a lot of interaction and engagement. And like today, it also lasted till almost 10:30pm, which s quite late for me.

So I think while I will probably still keep myself open to joining these activities, I also would like to remind myself to manage my time and boundaries, and make sure I give myself back enough alone time to recover, and that I am not over draining myself overall. Like today after I got home, I decided that I am not messaging with anyone, and I will just go to bed after I shower. The only thing I still wanted to do before shutting down myself was writing this post here for you 🤍

Good night, dear Andy.
