Make My Life A Sacrifice
Oh well..the week has gone by again...Sunday nite.....the whole week's just gone by like that.....just came back from Hooi Ling's 21st. The food was quite yum...stood around talking and eating mostly. Auntie Daisy must have put in so much effort in cooking and all. Makes me wonder if I want to go home to celebrate my 21st in June..but nah..too troublesome..plus my birthday's during the school term...just before everyone's exams..oh well...doesn't really matter..may matter more to mum and dad than to me really.
Overview of the week....
Met up with quite a few people this week..Rachel and Boon Harn for the first time and taught Lilea a lesson for the first time. Rachel got baptized in the Holy Spirit today..which reminds me..better call her tomorrow to confirm next week...Boon Harn as well. And to check on them.... Tiring as it may be meeting up with people..I wonder how Yuka does it...but seriously..it's a good way to learn... Lesson number one..please look through the lesson thoroughly before u teach it..even if u may have taught it before....
In church today pastor's altar call was for people who wanted to know God's will in their lives...i think that..really..even though i didn't go up front..cos i had to watch things at the back..that as for me...knowing God's will in my life....that God has placed me here to a purpose is the only way I will be able to get through it all.
Seriously...life's problems don't seem to bad once u make a decision to put them before God..well yeah..i know my problems aren't exactly solved..but really....at least i'm not thinking about them all the time and feeling miserable anymore and crying myself to sleep every night. Just like the other day during care group lesson...when the question was posed...how much faith do u have in God...well...it made me stop to think..definitely not 100%.....in some situations..really very little....
Maybe I really should heed Ruth's advice and stop being so negative and pessimistic...to a certain extent it helps..but when it becomes excessive..hmmm....should try to stop whining and complaining so much too...and being paranoid...aiz...if u ask me to sit down and think what i need to change about myself to be a better person...i think the list will be able to be used to wrap round the house several times....
Oh well.....
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved.
