Wow, so many revelations today... better note them down...
------------------------------------------
Might as well comment "God never rest, why doe she need to take a rest now?" Using a Pastor in comparison with me is not as impactful as what I am suggesting.
==========================================
Nobody EVER suggest to me that I take a break. If I never reveal that, I don't think anyone would ever come up to me and say, Joyce, I think you should take a break.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If serving requires no work, then it's not serving.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Even today in cell group, I feel very out of place. I cannot identify myself with the sharing. Others seem to be very excited about their sharing, I thought I needn't share anymore, if nobody ask. Nobody ask, so I never share. I was quiet throughout the entire bible study session, heck, I don't think I am even paying attention to the bible study... Maybe I shouldn't be in there.

Take 3 months to be away from QBC and away from any possible service, go visit other churches and be a normal member.
"Dear all who are concern,
As you have already know, I am stepping down from AGLOW ministry as a leader and as a shepherd.
I will also be taking a break of minimum of the first 3 months of 2006 from QBC. Will be going to various churches for visiting and for rest and restoration, and to be a quiet visitor.
In the meantime, should anyone ask you where have I been, please graciously answer for me that I am having a retreat from the church. I am still in the big "C", but I am visiting other churches. Please tell them that I am having a retreat, hence, I will do nothing pertaining to ministry or service.
Simply put, I would like to step out of the flow and spend quality time with God. I've not give quality time to Him in recent years. It's time to catch up.
However, I'm available for lunch and coffee anytime, even a movie or a karaoke session. But please, no ministry talk. Let's talk about your life and mine. Not many people are interested to know about what's happening in my life, but I don't mind getting to know about yours. Let's spend some time to catch up with what God's been doing in our personal lives. Amen? I promise it will go beyond the "How are you?".
Thanks for helping!
Much love,
Joyce"

Hey! Gaomei ...
Take a break if you want. I believe strongly that it is important to take breaks. Maybe because you have not been taking, and that is why you are burning out.
I remember someone who is older than me told me this: To rest is to travel a longer journey with God in serve.
But remember to come back ... Ok? I will miss you. Although I know that we are not very close but I am not sure if you realise somehow we do have this chemistry and can share things together.
Take time off, enjoy your time with God. Lots of Love.
