It's been awhile since I've been able to feel uplifted by my walk with God. Most of the time when I blog about it or think about it, it's been about struggles and trying to be consistent and trying to spend time with Him. I'll have to be honest and it's been a real struggle over the past couple of years, and there has been lots on my mind, but for the first time since I was in the states, I've been having constant quiet time and prayer. It's been going on for a few weeks now too! Little by little I've been seeing how this affecting my life daily as well. The feeling is also truly amazing, I really don't know how to explain it, even prayer is a different experience. Maybe this is how Jacob felt after he wrestled with God and was renewed.
Been thinking about the church and YF alot recently. Even had a chat about it with grace the other day. Church and the YF as a reflection of that is pretty luke warm. There are people who are serving and who are on fire for God, the overview is just lukewarm, if not worse. Been wondering why this is so, and I think it's because there really is no unity in the church, not in the sense of conflicts and such, but that we are not all pulling together for one cause. Every sunday morning we sit in the hall and all we have to do is to look up and see the church vision "Unto the glory of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and unto the furthurance of the Gospel". And that should be what the whole church should be striving towards! Unfortunately many people don't want to take up the cross, they don't want to walk the road let alone go the extra mile. Everyone is just too comfortable. Life is just too comfortable and Satan is holding many in his "plushy grip of death". Ok so maybe that's just being dramatic. I look at other churches and I wonder sometimes, why is that church growing, why are their people so vibrant, why are their youth so dynamic? Why? Why? One day I pray that our church will be like that too. All of you out there, pray along with me yeah? And ask God to do a good work in it. Let's not forget our first love.
On another note, my leave for VBS and Teenstreet '07 Malaysia has been approved! Yay! Looks like I'll be able to be involved in all of that after all. Have to say was a little apprehensive about asking for the leave because I wasn't confirmed yet and it was for quite a few days, but thank God there was no hassle in getting it at all. Next on the plate...planning for all those little tykes at VBS : Arctic Edge (No. There is no sumo this year.)
P/S : Chelsea 1 - 0 Barcelona .... WooHoo!
P/S : Sorry If I offended anyone with this post, it's just something that I felt had to be said.
