Make My Life A Sacrifice
I'm both willing and unwilling to go home. Unwilling cos, well my life is sort of here already. My ministry is here as well. Willing cos, hey, I get to go to Bangkok to see the Hope of God mother church. Plus, while I'm back I get to be shepherded by someone I don't know at all. It's quite exciting. I mean, after spending this whole year being taught by the same person during shepherding, JG and care group (no offense to Ruth), you sort of want a change. Plus I've been in Clayton since I came. Never moved around. So yeah, hope I can learn something new. But I really cannot afford to go on a spiritual holiday. Ha, like I will have the chance. I will see Ruth for about half my holiday back there. She'll be in Singapore on the 6th. We fly to Thailand together on the 7th. Then we come back on the 14th. She'll be around till the 18th. Then she goes to JB till the 20th and she'll be flying off from Singapore on the 21st.
Well, we had worship prac last night. And there was this song that I felt spoke heaps about how I feel right now.
Giving it up to You, O Lord
Is so easy to say, not so easy to do
Everyday, I arise, O Lord
Take up my cross I will follow You
It's so hard sometimes you know. If anyone out there thought that being a Christian meant an easy life, well, I'm sorry, you are wrong. Being a Christian isn't easy at all. Even having to burn with that Holy passion all the time isn't easy. The devil will always try to get you down. He does it in so many many ways.
