CRUSADE!
well just had a great time at Crossroads- weekly campus crusade meeting. met up with the BelovedBabes- enting,andrea,doreen. (missing edlyn & shiying). seriously i'm just amazingly grateful to God for giving me such sisters like this. i never thought i would find such a group of gurls who love God and are so warm & friendly. and to think we still keep in contact even after the camp! so kewl. =D
today they talked about spiritual burnout. using a passage from 1 Kings, where Jezebel wanted to kill Elijah and he was so afraid he ran away and went into the desert. then he travelled forty days & nights to Mount Horeb, the same mountain where God appeared to Moses. and there God told Elijah to go on & continue his mission. *very summarized version* what's there to note is that even when Elijah's faith was challenged & he was afraid for his life he went to Mt. Horeb. The Bible doesn't state so but in going there, we know Elijah went there to seek God. How many of us will actually do this; when we face problems in life & questions about our faith. Also, God told Elijah to continue what he was doing before, assuring him that what he was doing is not wrong.
I can really see God's hand moving in my life now. i really praise God & thank Him for it. some situations i encountered recently have this issue about the devil's deceptions and his ways of doing so. just making me think more about what the devil uses to grab our attention, turn us away from God. and now, you know i can really say i am growing more in Him. in the past, i cannot answer questions about stuff eg. tongues, devil's means. true i don't know every single thing but somehow God gave me the answers to respond. and He's really sustaining me throughout this week, especially on wed night where i woke up on thu morning refreshed & was not that late in meeting a friend(normally i'm extremely late). i think that could only have been b'coz i spent quality time with God. i've been having sporadic QTs..just too tired with loong days in school. but yep..God's good. but i want more, more of You Lord. i want to desire more to know Him personally. what will get you into heaven is not good works, not how faithfully you attend church, not how nicely you sing christian songs, but your relationship with Jesus. when i can call him my Friend, that's when i know Jesus.
oh yesh i'm taking up the position of Admin. 2I/C for the pre-speedlight camp. it's definitely a challenge. i was quite hesitant to take it up..i mean it involves a lot of work & planning. but since i do not believe in coincidence and i was approached to help out in the committee, i'm plunging in and trusting in God that he will carry me through. =)
