Life's Journey
I thought last night's combined cell was great. The icebreaker was in my opinion, very original and quirky, and I actually did get to know our fellow Agapeans better. Good job, Joni!
Facilitating worship last night was a new encouragement for me, in that I found that even when I felt ill-prepared and nervous, God has divinely appointed me to do that specific task and that He is always ready when i'm not. I guess we can look at that fact in every aspect of our lives, that even when we feel we're not ready or not good enough for a task, it is God who especially chose us for it, and He is always, always ready. Isn't that comforting? Learnt something new...
Apart from that, another new experience for me this week is when Kenny, John Hang and I embarked on our very first discipleship journey on Wednesday! I really thank God for allowing me to fellowship with them as I myself learnt from it and it strengthened my faith. Was rather nervous the night before especially, cos this Bible teaching stuff hasn't really been my strongest points, but nevertheless, like I said, God was ready. And I felt the presence of God was near that afternoon. In my heart I really hope that Kenny and John have benefitted from it, and I really hope that it will have an impact on their lives. The material was not bad, very basic but suitable for brand new believers. I think Kenny looked bored ): So i'm going to pray that the material will not be too easy for him to answer hehe... (all for his benefit of course) (:
This week I learnt that I had to do a supplementary paper for one of my units even though I passed the unit overall, I needed to pass that paper to advance. Was kinda upset at first, but after a while I learned that there's nothing to be ashamed of even when we didn't do as well as we hoped for. In fact it's a second chance to study hard again and get a higher grade and we don't always get that chance. Wow, thank You Lord! Talk about a God of second chances, in even this aspect of life! Guess I still have a lot to learn in humbling myself and take this as a learning experience. God's been good to me, as He'd always been, just that perhaps now my eyes see them.
Life is such a great gift... and our God is an awesome God!
