what title?
Hi, went to play X-BOX today with the guys, Candice, Shuhui and Nick today after the seminar. It was really fun, did help in releasing some of the pressure I faced...had a good time "beating" Nick, Shuhui and Candice. And guess what, Candice, besides being gifted in playing mahjong, has also discovered her gifting in playing X-BOX!!!
I attended 2 seminars today, one on 'How to connect with Youths' and 'Secrets to True Romance'... the youth one was very enriching and refreshing, talking about being available to the youths. Being available means 1) spending time doing something that your youths enjoy and not what you like to do, 2) willingness to put aside what you are doing to give attention to your youth's phonecall. This was something that really challenged me as a youth worker. Many times ministry has become a task, doing something I have to do rather than something I can enjoy doing. I seem to have lost the joy of it as things have become a sort of demand, pressure, expectation and implementation, rather than real authenticated and genuine ministry that flows out of the heart. Lord, please help me. I am but someone you have chosen to display Your goodness and love.
I also met up with the leaders today to rough things out and it really did help me see their needs...all I can say is that I am challenged by them. My orayer to the Lord at the moment when I was meeting them, was that God would help me. I am approaching something that is unfamiliar and I felt that it was out of my abilities to complete and conquer. My spirit is not giving up but I do have fears too. Inadequacies surfaced once again...You know, its like you thought you have overcome this issue of inadequacy but it comes back again and you feel so so afraid to fail. All in all, I still know that the Lord will be with me...
Psalm 121 (NLT)
A song for the ascent to Jerusalem.
I look up to the mountains
does my help come from there?
My help comes from the LORD,
who made the heavens and the earth!
He will not let you stumble and fall;
the one who watches over you will not sleep.
Indeed, he who watches over Israel
never tires and never sleeps.
The LORD himself watches over you!
The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade.
The sun will not hurt you by day,
nor the moon at night.
The LORD keeps you from all evil
and preserves your life.
The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go,
both now and forever.
