Getting back on track is the key to a new beginning

After jogging this evening, I had a good chat with my dear & I was glad we talked about church & Christianity (Thanks, my love!).

Out of the conversation, I told him that I felt people at church are going through the motion for the sake of it (I hope I am wrong!), at least a couple of people I know. Right at this moment, I feel that we should focus on getting people back on track... I feel for some of us, our personal walk with God is, directly or indirectly, hindered by people leaving church. And the rest of those 'left behind' are all worked out and tired. People are not motivated to go the extra mile. In fact, taking a new step can be due to the fact that one feels obliged to do so.

What are we thinking?

Who is our focus?

What should we do now to get back on track? Not for me to decide, but I guess at least I have blogged about it & it will start to make people think. :)

Taste & see that the Lord is good

Yesterday was a real terrible day & I was thinking of giving up aleady... I was crying & asking God why. Today, I really see the goodnes, grace & mercy of God. And I wanna thank God for His love for me. :)

Just wanna thank God

Haven't been blogging for long and so I'd like to take this opportunity to thank God for His goodness.

Today was a real horrible day. So many booboos and I was really feeling down. But, as I've said over & over again, God never fails to listen to my prayers & bring me comfort. I stayed in office until quite late. He sent both buses so quickly and 'sent' Gracie on Bus 156 so I won't be lonely. He gives me understanding & nice bosses. He gives me an understanding & caring boyfriend. He gives me a loving family. :)

Just wanna thank You, Lord. :)

Back home at Charis

It was 2 weeks since I didn't attend service at Charis. So finally, I was back at Charis yesterday Enjoyed the service so much! Thanks God for the great praise & worship. The Word was so apt that it started me thinking (I pray I will still pray about it & will not forget). And I can sense the presence of God. Awesome! Thank God for His faithfulness & graciousness even though we (I) failed Him time & time again. :)

God's letter

Today's message spoke to me & I really thank God for it. Hope I can put them into practise.

There are 3 main points to today's message:

1. We are the letter...

  • 2 Cor 3:1-3
  • We are open letters, to be read & not to be concealed; living testimony.
  • And there's something written in our hearts. In order for this thing to be written, it means it must be carved. And carving is a painful process.

2. ... with a message...

  • 2 Cor 5:17-20
  • Reconciliation (the message) only takes place through action.
  • With self & with God.

3. ... with a method of delivery.

  • 2 Cor 6:3-10
  • These verses mentioned the different types of method of delivering a message--physical distress, mental anguish, abiding commitment, in, 'in Christ' conduct and with failures.
  • But at the end of the day, we have to bear in mind that we are to be a witness for God.

My mini retreat with God

I'm on a retreat today! Supposed to spend my 2 to 6 pm with God but my attention span only lasted about 2 hours. But God has been gracious to me. Did praise & worship, prayers, followed by reading part of a reading material.

Some pointers from the reading material that keeps me thinking:
  • "Extra cargo" are "things we hang on to until a storm exposes how they are sinking us."
  • "To survive a storm you get busy with the things that really matter--and those "things" are usually people! With all the pressures to achieve and accomplish, the people we love can slowly get pushed to the corners of our lives."
  • "It usually takes a storm to restore our values."
  • "If the storm blows you back to them [people], you have all you really need. You can always find another ship [thing]."

Keeps me thinking... Hmm... Pray that I'll get my answers real soon. :)

Some of the similarities we have freak me out.. :)

I can't explain or understand this but I have quite a few similarities with this 'new guy' I've met. These are what I can remember at this point of time:
  • Christian
  • Love singing
  • Love music
  • Impatient
  • Read in the loo
  • Have some Peranakan lineage
  • Have the Teochew-Hokkien crisis (LOL!)
  • Don't eat squids
  • Like durians
  • Love pickles
  • Dislike soy milk
  • Like white onions (I didn't tell you 'cos it was freaky!)
  • Hate almost all kinds of mushrooms except button mushrooms (I freaked out, really)

Okay, I cannot recall already... I's just freaky, especially the last two!
