night before...couldn't sleep...anticipation and anxiety
day 1... getting into our groups, getting to know the members and we played a short game of amazing race.
i've got wonderful team members.... YOUTH MEETING in the night... so many youths willing to make an impact for God's kingdom... there is hope. i sat there and i asked myself... "what can i do to bring in the youths for the Lord?"... for they are the future. i may be an adult but being there make me realise i can also be part of the growth.
day 2... i just could not focus. i could not be present. my mind is wandering... what's happening in the office, what do i need to get for my handicraft class, what do i need to do to find that part time job, what can i do to bring in the income? i was listening but i was not hearing the word. i could not get into the spirit. i am here. i want to learn. i want to grow. i want to be ready when called. i want to make a difference... but i can't if
i'm not present. i prayed.
day 3... i continued praying... i am not to be defeated by my thoughts. i am here for a purpose and i am going to fulfill that purpose no matter what happens. i am going to give it my all. i prayed,
i emptied myself, i prayed,
i focused, i prayed,
i surrendered... and i saw my comforter.
i was walking on a long narrow road. it was dark everywhere.
everything's black. i was so small and the long narrow road seems never ending.. i walked and walked and i was still so small. i cried out from where i was praying and He came... so huge and yet so gentle. His hands holding mine and walking with me. i grew bigger as i walked and i know there is light at the end of the long narrow road. i continued to walk and He continued to lead. then i stretched out my other hand and i am holding someone
else's hand. someone who was as small as i was before He came and soon i was holding many hands. my tears of desperation became tears of joy. i know He will be walking with me and i know i will make a difference one life at a time... this is my God moment.
to walk in Christ is not enough... hunger for the Holy Spirit to walk boldly for God's kingdomi want to continue walking that road... and everyday i will pray for strength so that i can keep walking... non-stop... forever till His work is done.
11:57 AM;
to love You from the inside out
