Even though Maris Stella had no fruits today…
Beatty has a fruit!
And I’m taking care of him! Yeah!
This also means that even though MSHS doesn’t has its two converts for this ESS(which is discouraging before), my goal for July is completed! Shepherd of 2! (: Gotta retain him well first or else he’s gonna run run run haha.
I really like how Bernard puts it, He hears our cries. When we shed, He really hears and sees it. He doesn’t neglect us but empowers us and pours His grace upon us. I thank God for this sign of hope in my life!
Once again, my most put-to-heart quote, expecting the unexpected. I told Him this yesterday during my midnight quiet time(my peak hour!),“If anything that can show me that you’re real happens, let it happen tomorrow.”. This sentence came after I really kept praying and praying for MSHS that something will happen to it that will surprise me. Cause I realised again of the reminder that shep has constantly given me.
We are serving Him not His ministry. I need to learn to apply this more and more each day. Sometimes I just get carried away and only think of His ministry alone. Bringing people to know Him(which is something I’ve been really putting in alot of my time and effort for these weeks into) is not all there is to serving Him. It just shows that we’re hired-hands. And that’s something that I’ve been stuck with alot lately, until reminded on Friday. That’s when I really remember that the purpose of the ministry is for Him.
To be really honest, I used to not think alot of the bigger picture of CG08. I have concentrated alot on MS in believing that it can be completed fast and smoothly and so on. Upon God’s grace and unveiling the truth, I’ve changed. And that leads to me caring for more schools, in a very strong example, Beatty.
Overall, thank God for opening His floodgates this evening. (:

THAT IS SO COOL! you are 14 and already a great leader. shows how great a youth can be! show it to them, go get them boy! ^^
Comeon! i believe you can lead a group of ppl, including me in school. regardless of different churches, we can still come together as fellow christians! we just let the people know more about God, pray for them, and just worship with them, then let them have their choice of going to the church they want to go. i dont want like this sort of a “competition” u see, i want a whole family, just hope that u can understand. ^^
