Okay, i was pretty okay these few days, other than the fact i was pretty upset about results at first. Still, saturday was a booster for me! It was a very very packed day, starting with Connect group from 10-12, lunch with my dad and his friends at the chinatown yong tau fu place rom 12-2, service from 2-4, follow up from 4-6, dinner from 6-8, and board games with ben, soh and fang at mines cafe boat quay from an amazing 8-12. Went home, and slept at around one.
Connect group was great. It's been about six months since the last one i went to, and it has changed indeed, not only in the power and inspiration of the message, but the people in it as well as the connectivity. It's really more closer this time, I just can feel it. Many people have come and gone, but overall the CG has really grown alot. I remember the first time i came, there were only about 10 or so people. When i came back i was like WOAH. The cg really grew alot, the circle got significantly bigger! (: Lynette shared about finances, showed us 20 ways to earn/save money, and the thing about building fund. I could hear God speaking to me about something on the offering as well, i'll continue later. Overall it was good still!
Service was good as well, Was on the building fund and the spirit of sacrifice and alot of stuff, with the story of the woman with two mites and that standing ovation from God becuase of stepehen's sacrifice. I was really happy also because God's presence was just. So strong in the place, it was so amazing. Again, i can't express the happiness i feel for God and all, he's just making me rise so far and so fast!
On the offering: I had this experience with sacrifice. I had only ten dollar notes in my wallet at that time, and i always gave a five dollar or less offering to God, and sometimes i felt unhappy because i knew my parents would grumble about wasting money and all. When the offering slip bag came to me, i hesitated, thinking if i should put it in or just give another time. I just decided to have faith and put it in as a good giver. Immediately after that i just broke through another comfort barrier with money, and God gave me a revelation and a calling to search, find and have the spirit of sacrifice in my life to help the church and myself, as well as others. SELFLESS FAITH! : D
