Blessings day 27

ST grow week day 1 and 2

High Rope Experience
I am afraid of a lot of things in life, and one of them is heights. It was horrible, to climb up there, and jump down by yourself. Even though you do have a harnest, it was still really scary for me. I was sincerely scared, but just like last time, the trainer assured me that i am safe because of the harness. It reminded me of how God knows I am scared, but He is patient. He is so patient in assuring me that it will be alright, that He has got my back, and I realize, I needed that small leap of faith for me to grow, and for Him to show me that He is trustworthy. It was a trust issue. It just reminded me of how in life, when I don't feel like it, but I know that He wants it done, I just have to take that small leap of faith for Him to continue working in my life.

Mount lofty
I really enjoyed it. So many things happened, and I was on a constant reflection of life and God. When it started off, I was alone, i know that I would most probs be the last person up there, but it doesn't matter, it is one step at a time. I realize I have been walking with people all along, but have I walked with God? I realized how I have been looking for the satisfaction, peace, comfort and security that i can only have in God in other people, and that's why there were so many more dissapointments. I like how andy says, Christianity is the only religion that allows you to be honest or expose your weakness. It feels horrible at first, but it is liberating, as Sara says, there is freedom in it, freedom in showing your weakness. Then after that, sowms was struggling and Andy was just there with her. And I realized, how people and company in life is God's gift, and I ought to treasure it. Train my mind yo, for thinking so much evil stuff about people. Then even sowms might not know, she was actually blessing me with her company, even when it feels like I was accompanying her. And I learn up there as well, that sometimes, you don't need the right words to say to comfort someone, you just need to be there, and they know it.

Volleyball
Felt a bit out of place, really don't feel like playing because I felt that I am letting the team down, but that aint gonna make my spirit go LOWWWW. I did tried my very best, and I am glad I did. I know we lost quite a bit because of my unskillness, but hey, who cares. :) It is a friendly game and I believe I still have a place in that. When haydes sort of takes all our balls, I do feel bad and useless, but still, hey! who cares! :) Pastor Paul was very nice, and he just encouraged me and said that great job in putting yourself in the game, which I find really encouraging. Was a fun filled game. All of them are just hillarious. Pastor brian, my gosh, so funny. It was so fun. :)

Sharing
Love how everyone shares their heart out and how I wish Fred will be there. And I wonder what will he say. I just felt like I don't know him enough, in a more spiritual level. Been really blessed in this grow week. I can see how God is working in different people's heart in sonteam, growing us together at the same time. Love it. Oh and how God provides. I said I wanna exercise more and really, this week is just a week of exercise. LoLZ! and how He teaches me to appreciate things and be content in life. When I say NO MORE BREAD. There's more bread. LoLZ!

Blessings day 25

Thomas a Kempis said, "peace will always be found not in indulging our lower appetites but in resisting them." :) 

There is never any contradiction between spirit and reality. The contradiction is between spirit and matter, never between spirit and the real.
