Last Saturday (Sept 20), we had our Personal Sharing session. It was a a good time of fellowship (much laughter and some authenticity); encouragement and even warning (thro' words that all of you spoke) and very yummy supper. ;-)
Thank you for your presence (Bern, E, Pat, DMok, DLee, Lydia, Bry, DTan, Wee, Tony and Di)
There was a sense of freedom in our praise and worship; we sang out of our hearts. During the last song, "Still", I felt such a sense of relief (God is with us) and surrender to Him (He is in control of our situations) and comfort despite the "rough seas" in my week. Thank u, Lydia and DLee for leading. Good work!
The surprise of the nite would probably be the icebreaker. It was really fun. (I laughed until I cried!) DTan gave thought and even purpose to the ice-breaker. Good job!
Hearing from you all is always a blessing. It shows me that God is dealing with us all (Surely He is the Author and the Finisher of our faith!). We come from different experiences and walk of life, but He is working in us all. I hear the concerns of your heart; things that God is speaking to you and hearing from these from you; I'm encouraged to continue in my faith.
When DMok shared about how she "saw" God's hand even in a seemingly "negative" situation; I was encouraged. When I heard that she was posted to the new place, I was a little concerned. From her sharing, I know God will see her thro' and fulfill His purpose for her (As long as we are open to see His hands and provision for us, not doubting His ways, we are standing on good grounds.)
From some of the sharing, I am reminded that we are to take our faith walk seriously; not to play church; not to be lukewarm; not to look at men (people in ministry) but rather to look to Him.
I was surprised at some of the honesty and authenticity of DLee and Evy. They didn't hide their inadequecies and struggles. I"m touched that they trust us enough to open their lives to us. Let us also do likewise. Matt 5:3 God blesses those who are poor and realise their need for Him for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. If we are honest with ourselves, we are poor in spirit and has need for Him to work in us. All of us have our struggles with our "old man".
Footnote:
During the leaders' meeting, we were encouraged to write a short report on all the meetings that was held. (Something I've not been doing) ..so I thought it would be a good to write a review instead on the blog.
Please write and share your thoughts with us; to enourage one another.
