MY JOURNEY ..... YOUR STORY

introduced to Christ when i started school - St Anthony's Convent. we had morning prayers and hymns together with national anthem and school song. we had mass in the chapel and for some of us it was a break away from lessons, a time to rest our eyes, a time to do nothing. for me it was a break and sometimes a short nap. :)

all i remembered was that i could ask for anything from heaven by going through Mother Mary. i believed because everytime i lose something, i'll pray and i'll find it. it was a process that always worked. childlike faith? i guess so. there were no doubts then. i just believed. now that i think back, i didn't pray through Mary, i just asked to be led to where my lost items were and waited for signs. sadly, there was also no deep or sincere gratitude. just a simple "thank you" after that.

this went on all through my school days. however, somewhere along the way, i forgot about the asking for assistance or directions. i made things happen on my own and depended on my own strength.

sometime after seconday school, a friend brought me a to a Christian service...CULTURE SHOCK! where were the books? where was the process? where were the instructions? there was nothing for me to follow! i didn't know when to kneel or when to stand or what to say. however, i enjoyed the service. lost contact with my friend soon after and didn't step into a church after that until some years later for my sister's baptism. started going on and off with my family as shortly after that, my parents and sisters got saved and baptised but not me.

...the story continues in "my journey".

Hebrews 12:2
2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

1 John 4:12
12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

i read the above, meditated on them and i know i want to fix my eyes on Jesus. i may not know the journey but i know the promise. i may not see Him but i know He lives in me and i want to be a good reflection of Him in perfect love. i am His mission.

Missions is God sending the whole church with the whole gospel to the whole world to meet the spiritual and social needs of humanity.

God sending the whole church astounds me. it overwhelms me. i close my eyes and visualise...God with His outstretched arms embracing the whole universe. i visualise Him sitting there and looking down lovingly at all His children and how it pains Him to see us sin. Jesus came knowing the suffering He has to go through, yet He obeyed and came because He knows the joy that was set before Him, to sit on the right hand of His Father. that is God's promise. He sees all. He knows all. He loves all.

i am His whole church.

what is His whole gospel for me? His word and my gifts from Him

what is His whole world for me? all whom i will meet as i am led to share my whole gospel with

i am His missionary. His promise - my garden at the end of my journey here, the beginning of eternal life, His love for me no matter what happens.

my prayer ...
Dear Father, i thank you for loving me. i surrender my all to you. lead me that my words and actions will be a blessing to all around me. let me speak words of encouragement and love. teach me all that i need to know, increase my capacity to receive and to give. Dear Father, let today be a day of encounters and revelations and a day to glorify your name. let me make a difference in someone's life.....Amen
