Hmmmm

A lot of things had happened but I am not too keen to update. Always like tat one. Once near exams, xian 1/2. (no wonder my mum gave me my name) Haha! I'm trying to look on the bright side. This will be my last semester.... if i even clear it. Haha! I must and I will with hard work and God's grace and favour. Most prob this will be the last update (cross-fingered) until after exams. Haha!
Maybe just update on one incident. A very cute and funny incident. During our Mission Dinner Nite, while in the midst of William's sharing, litte Daniel needed to go to the bathroom. Since William was busy, I offered myself to help bring Daniel to the toilet. To my 'horror', he wanted to do BIG one. Oh gosh! HOw! I nvr done such 'maintenane' work before. Haha! I tot of getting Lydia to help but then think again, maybe it is a good training ground for me. So little Daniel sat on the bowl happily while I stand at the door still pondering on the question: "What am i doing here?" haha! So as Daniel was doing his biz, he was making the farting sound with his lips. So I decided to show him how to do the pop sound using the lips. And I ask him if he knew how to do it. And to my surprise, he answered cheekily, "This one too simple, I dun want to do" It really caught me off guard and gave a heartily laughter. People outside must be wondering which cranky person is in the toilet. But as I laughed it out, somehow the word really spoke to me. Do we have such mentality as well? Do we find excuses to not to do some things. In our service to our Lord, do we clearly distinguish what we can do or what we shd do or not. This service is too trival and simple for me therefore I won't do. Stacking of chairs are for the LOGISTIC people, I dun want to do. The list can go on. Sometimes, I'm guilty of making excuses. But it really points down to our heart. In our mouth, we profess that our Lord is a servant King but do we follow His servanthood heart or do we just simply want to be served as a king. Society has shaped us to be inwards looking, taking care of ownself first and being oblivious with the needs of the people around us. I really admired many of our church and ministry workers. They get themselves involved in works that are above what is required from them. And I know it's from their heart, their love for God. But yet it is also sad that many who comes to church, comes with a heart of just being a member. They come with the mentality of what can the church offer me and BY THE WAY, here is what I can OFFER to the church. This mentality is seen thruout church from the youths to the adults. I am saying this not to discriminate or judge against such people but it really saddens my heart. How can one behave as if he or she doesn't belongs to the family? This is not a recreational or country club. Being part of the family requires commitment and love as well. It's not just about paying your 'bills' and you are done. I am worried. Becoz if that's how this generation is moving towards, I can only pray for God's grace and mercy be upon them.

Lord! Help us to heart Your heart beat. Help us to see Your vision. Forgive us for our selfishness and our inwardly looking heart. Help us to turn away and instead fix our eyes on You. Let us move towards where You are moving. Let us come together as a family, loving one another, serving each other, just like what Jesus would have done. Lord, have mercy upon us! Amen!
