My holiday is coming to an end. Its been an eventful three months. I enjoyed most of it. Its funny you know, I came back on a sunday. and straight away went to church because no one was at home. And within a week I found myself waking up early to work with simon, sam and leslie. Yeah it was a good time working with them. I especially liked mornings when we did the devotions, going through the book of Luke and later Acts.
Soon it was time to plan for the Salt and Light camp. There was a lot of details to look at and prepare for but God took control la. Everything went well and the camp had a good effect on most of our lives. But even there things were quite busy. There's a difference between being in a place where you just receive or enjoy the unseen works of others and being among those who are responsible for making things work.
Salt and Light also saw restoration in my life for which I am thankful to God. We fall down but we get up and you know the bible says a just man will fall seven times and will surely get up each time. Its ok to make mistakes but we always have a price to pay la, thats unreconcilable. But God is a good God, forever :) He is pure Good.
Soon after the camp was the carolling. I just thank God for the opportunity to be a part of it. It was a success and I hear there are more offers for next year. And then ICCTS came along, and this time again I was with sam, leslie and simon plus amanda, natasha and aunty Janna. Stuck together for one month of spiritual boot camp, well kinda. It was a refreshing time for me. I was awakened to the duty I hold as a christian to finish the work Jesus started and to restore the earth to the way God intended when He created Adam and Eve and put them in the garden of Eden.
It was also a training time for me, I really learned to trust God with His word and allow Him to speak what He wants me to know and do. During this time i was also reminded of the motives behind my service, and the things I do. God never looks at what we do but He looks at the heart and motive behind why we do the things we do.
Going to the village was really a good time for me and the others, you know everything just went well and we came back with joy and accomplishment. Going there for the second time was really good. Quite different from the first time because.. well i've talked about this in the previous post.
Now things are winding down, my time table is already out. Payment of fees should have been made today but due to 'circumstances beyond my control' {yeah that all too familiar cliche} it will have to be tomorrow. I just hope that i can finish everything on time. I miss my friends in miri and can't wait to see them again, we had such a nice time last sem. However I cannot wish for the same this sem because of the mounting responsibilities and engagements that are required of me. I just need God the grace and wisdom of God to give my best in all I do. Please remember me in your prayers.
Looking back I thank God for the opportunities la, thank God for the friends and for pastor cheli and aunty mei, for all their help and support. And for you all for a nice time together, though it was short. Its funny how I miss kuching when i'm in miri and vice versa, when will it end? Hehe
God bless you, oh and ah happy valentine's day.
