Knowing what to do and doing it is a different thing
Here I am at Si Yun's place, typing my blog. I didn't go to church today-- Partly I wasn't feeling well this morning, and also, I didn't really prepare for my debate notes. *Sorry Lydia and sorry God.. Sorry for being lazy* I called Lydia to tell her my points and after that I had a bad feeling. It was as though I have done something wrong. I prayed to God, and I felt much better after that. *God, you are so wonderful*
This morning, at work, my mind was like.." I don't want to go to church, I haven prepare my notes yet. Lydia is going to be unhappy." Then, I was thinking of excuses to not go church. Actually, I wasn't really unwell. I was just having the normal montly stomach cramp. *God, I felt so sorry..Forgive me..* Praise the Lord that I am able to come up with the points while I was on my way to Si Yun's place. I was so empowered with thoughts, I just kept writting and writting. The topic for the debate is, " Teachers are the reasons leading to slow growth of youth fellowship"-- My side ws against it.
I find this topic quite easy..as in, I can have much to talk about. Slow fellowship growth isn't mainly due to teachers' fault, youths have to play a part. We are considered the future leaders, we should take some responsibilities. I personally feels that the youth fellowship should be spearheaded mainly by youths, not just only adults. Humans tends to pushes the blame to others when things goes wrong. Why can't human take a look at themselves before they arrow others? When you point a finger at others, do you realise you have three more of your own fingers pointing at yourself? It takes two hands to clap. Youths have come together to want to solve the problems, but how many of times have it been done seriously? Knowing what to do and doing it is two different thing. Well, people.. If we want a breakthrough in our church, in our youth fellowship.. we have to take the first step out in faith. May not be easy, but you will never know what is hard before you try. How high is high to you untill you climb the tallest mountain? We can approach the elders ourselves, don't have to wait for the teachers. They are humans, so are we! We are all equal in front of God.
Election of the merger thing will be held later.. Cleo is not coming.. Is she unhappy with the merger thing? Did she agree to the merger because she doesn't want Si Yun to be upsad? I don't know, but I will find out from her. Although I'm not close to Cleo, but there will be a time I have to face her. I'm a bit nervous about the merger, don't know what will the outcome be.. Somethings can just pop out from no where.. Anyway, Gracie, trust in God!! Whatever happen, there is always a reason behind it. His way are always higher than mine. Though certain things I may not understand, but God knows the way.
"You have been faithful in all of your way. Though we may not understand why we go through life this way. But we know what it's like to be by your side. Teach us Lord to be like you, to be so faithful and true."
I love you God!!
