From the warzone
Cravings : Homemade Pork Belly Pepper Soup
Guess what. I'm reporting in from the middle of a warzone. Yup, that's right a warzone where souls are being fought for. I'm blogging from the church computer in the middle of the Orang Asli youth camp that we are having at the moment. I'm able to do this because I have some work to finish up by tomorrow and have use of the computer. So while I'm waiting for the photostat machine, I decided to blog a little. It has been a fun first day at camp and I've met many new people. I'll have to admit I had prejudices before this camp, about the OA being backward and all, but I now know how wrong I was. They are real fun people, and I find myself being encouraged by them, especially this one person I met who has resigned from his job and is now serving the Lord fulltime, and he is only 20 years old! I hope that the berita baik or the good news will reach these youth during this camp and they too will come to have a wonderful relationship with Christ.
I think the Lord has also hit me with a revelation or two about myself again recently, one even today. It sorta hit me a bout 30 minutes or so ago that I have a problem with my close relationships, as in I think that when I become close with a person, and we talking about normal friends here, I start to make most conversations too serious and I forget about the fun factor. This is why I think why most of my close friendships (there are excepts of course) have a bell curve sort of graph, where things start of lukewarm, get really good in the middle, then taper off again. Really something I got to remedy I think. Thank you Lord for opening my eyes to this, I pray I just have enough strength to change.
Speaking of which, I was told by some friends the other day that I just seem to be very active in church. As if I seem to be involved in everything, a rising star as another put it. This really got me thinking. Am I getting to caught up in doing? If I am, Lord I am very sorry. I have noticed that I am very involved in church activities these days, and I'm a little worried and confused as well. Have I really stopped being a person of God and am just doing? Or is this just a way for me to learn to rely on God's strength? I really don't know...maybe one of you have some thoughts on this, because you guys can see what I don't see. Please let me know if you do.
