Good morning to whoever who reads this entry! Must be wondering why I blogged at such an early hour. Because I'm at work now and the system is down. So I can slack a little.
Been a draining week for me cos I'm adapting to my new shift work. 12hrs, 10pm to 10pm. Taking a toll on my body already on the 2nd night. Feverish and headaches. Will take some time to adjust my biological clock a lil. 2 months into my work and I'm enjoying what I'm doing. Looking back now, it's been really fast.
Have great plans for my future but needs a substantial amount to further my studies again. Be striving for it. Really have to discipline myself regarding my finances. To give a good life to my other half next time, it starts now and it'll take dedication to build the reality. =)
Spiritual life.. Has been great since we started the daily 1 hour prayer. Although I can pray and not feel the presence coming upon me at times, I've realised it's the discipline that builds character. Soon enough, you'll adopt this habit of persevering until something happens. Everyone, persevere on, okays? Isn't easy but isn't this the means to another level?
Oh yes, a significant day this week! A group of us from different cellgroups had the honor to meet up Bro Darren for a little session at Riverwalk. It's more of a motivational one to me, cos he shared some insights that really got me to reflect. At the beginning, he asked everyone to do a short introduction of ourselves. AND, share 1 significant moment in our walk with God. It came to me that God is all too wonderful. I shared that God saw my desperation in a job search in April and it was during the building fund period. At that time, I had quite an amount not fulfilled yet. I thought I'll fail myself and God. But, God indeed gives the provision and solution. Found a job and the deadline for building fund was extended. Wasn't by chance, but by the move of His hand. He has shown me favor and I, in turn, will fulfil my promise to His kingdom. Not just this time, I'm believing for more.
Going on to the session, the Presence to me, was SO powerful. Tears just rolled down, it wasn't sadness. It was joy. I'm glad I attended the session even though I wasn't feeling very good and up to it. I was really encouraged to pull down the Presence myself, building up the atmosphere around myself and not just depend on the cell leader, praise/worship leader, guitar, the song lyrics or how people around us sound. It is our own encounter with God and it should be personal. It is the desire that determines if you encounter God. Be desperate enough and cry out loud for Him. Verbally and vocally. By doing so, you will even help people around to engage in His presence too.
Faith can be very different for 2 individuals.. I gotta reflect and meditate a little on what Bro Darren shared. I'm really blessed to have someone like him to look up to.
That's all for now folks, I'll be back with more okays?
