Been sometime since I last updated. Not very busy, but very lazy. LOL.
I think many people are affected by the incident that happened recently (If you know, you know. If you don't know, don't ask). It didn't really hit me until I went back for the Prayer meeting on Friday. The moment I stepped into the compound, I just felt a sense of loss and a spirit of heaviness in the air. We didn't prepare any agenda that day, instead as we worship we asked God for a word. Anything that He would want us to share or pray for and praise God, everyone had a word.
And as we prayed, God gave me a vision. An image of a group of people, linking their hands together. And God reminded me that, everyone has a family and friends for a reason. We are stronger together. When you're alone, you're more vulnerable. Many what had happened, wouldn't have happened if she wasn't alone at that time... Looking out the window (It's raining a bit..), I just felt that we need to pray that God's light will shine through the dark clouds and we have to believe that God will change this incident to something that will bring glory to His name.
All of my life,
In every season,
You are still God.
I have a reason to sing,
I have a reason to worship.
We will always have a reason to sing and worship Him.
On a lighter note, it's the 6th day of the 40day fast. I am fasting from unhealthy sweet drinks like bubble tea and coke... :X Not gonna like, it's not easy, esp the first few days. But as the days pass, it just got easier. And I was just reminded of Serene's sharing two week back. The one about training a dog to let go of their desires and listen to their owner. I think this fasting exercise is God's way of training us to let go of our worldly desire. When I started fasting, I was thinking 'Aiya... sure die la. No bubble tea...' But I'm not dead yet. So this goes to show that as humans to hold on to our desires very strongly, but if we try hard enough we could learn to give up what we want and have, and obey God's will. And God will honour our sacrifice.
So, to everyone that is fasting, don't give up! Do it for God!! :D
