401th Post & Year 2008
Well, a good new year starting with my 401th posts in this blog. I'm here to do some justice to the blog by kind of posting all the events that I have yet to post and that is still in my memory. Realized that it has really been some time since I last posted something proper.
Anyway, year 2007 is somewhat a year where God really showed his presence and comfort into my life. A year where the ups & downs are somewhat different from the previous years. 2007 marked several milestones in my life, my 601 days as a EastDee brother, my first transfer to another district since I first stepped in to church, the first time I had a shepherd looking over me for more then one camp, taking over the ministry, etc. God never failed to pour out his blessings and grace over my life...
X29 camp was a camp where God open doors for me to speak into the lives of many through what I'm doing in the ministry and me simply being a brother to most of the people around me. God moved in my heart this time round in a more peaceful manner and I didn't come back from camp feeling all pumped up and getting all excited, but more, I left Singapore Sports School with a peaceful assurance that God is always there for me, really, God really showed His faithfulness as I see him work in the lives of many; especially in the hearts of those around me. Camp as usual is chionging time, but really, through these chionging time, I really saw how much the people around me are willing to lend a helping hand, especially in those times where we are really really running out of time. The willingness of the people in the ministry also touched me a lot. And I guess, the team really had a breakthrough in terms of the desire to really seek God and using whatever they are doing as a worship for the Lord.
Camp has gone and Christmas is coming. I guess, I was a littl disappointed with myself and perhaps the heart of people, I am glad that God is working well in my family...
New Year's Day...
I was ramaging through all my post when I kinda got "emotional". ahha. For starters, this is the first new year that I am spending with my family out of the house and it is also the first time I'm not celeberating it with any church people ever since I came in. I could still remember my first countdown where Diqiang piggy back me so that I'm able to watch the performance at Esplanade, haha, my first shepherd...
I came to realize once again how much I have grew in the Lord looking back at all my past 400 posts and how much I have matured as a being.
Somewhat however, I too came to realize how far I have fallen back in terms of my love for people. Though I still say that I do love people, I have came to realize that in a way, my heart's desire to really bring my close ones a step closer to God is no longer there. I remember how I will actually pray to step out of my comfort zone to try and get to know more of my family members better during family gatherings during CNY... Yea...
Yupp, just want to end this post here by thanking all those that have really been with me throughout my this 2 years + of walk with God and really guiding me through and having the patience to wait for me and getting me to grow in the Lord, although many a times, I may hurt most of you guys, you guys never gave up on me. God you never gave up on me. Thanks soo much...
Let 2008 be a year of exponential growth.
+ AMEN
