Today, we have our thanksgiving CG at Church :] It was awesome! Even though the past few weeks, have been super super stressed and negative, but the message Brother Bobby shared was so inspiring! :] Even though it's one which i've heard before, it was more like a revelation today! :] Thankfulness is really super important and the key to unlocking the supernatural power of God! :]
Yay~ we even got 2nd for our group performance! :] Even though it was tough having to organise rehearsals for 9 ppl and getting everyone to be enthusiastic about it since it was the first time for many :] At first, was very discouraged and more down.. think didn't really have the strength to stir myself up.. more like not relying on God's strength.
But during the sermon, realised that throughout the holidays, i've really become a Martha and not a Mary! But only through this that i really understood that it's really very easy to slip into the 'Martha' mode especially when things get so busy. And it's easy to believe that we're still sitting at God's feet especially when we're doing everything for God but not with His strength. Or worse still, just serving and going with the momentum because of duty.
Anyway, like what Brother Bobby said, year 2006 is going to be a great year! :] When he shared his own testimony about how his year went, it was only then that i realised why Brother Bobby was a zone supervisor and why he was where he was. :] Totally and utterly amazing! And compared to what he's gone through, my problems and the things that i had to do this year became so small and actually quite easy to deal with. What impacted me the most was that i didn't even notice whether he was going through any crisis because he never fails to remain upbeat and positive, with a smile on his face, still caring about the cellgroup and the zone and continuing as if everything was ok. :]
Let's not just start the year 2006 right but end year 2005 right too! :] Like what Brother Bobby shared today, every problem/trial/crisis we went through this year was and is an opportunity for God to develop our character and stretch our capacities. So even though things may not be looking up now, i believe that from God's point of view :] we've completed His agenda for us this year and some day when we look back, we'll realize that without year 2005, we wouldn't have been able to do the things in the future! :]
