Fragments of Disjointed Thoughts

News News News

Well, 2 pieces of really exciting news today! My family are visiting me in December and coming for my graduation in February! I so can’t wait to see them! They manage to get the free Air Asia tickets that were on sale at midnight and voila! I miss them so so so much! Almost 2 years of not seeing them, it will be so sweet to see them again

Another piece of news is that is recent is that our cell, Keypers, has multiplied and split into 2 groups for word and discussion time. Worship will still be together and then discussion will be separate in the smaller groups since its much more effective that way and that way we can help each other grow spiritually. Justin will be leading 1 group and Joe and I will be taking on the other since I have only just begun to take on more responsibilities in cell and can’t manage the cell by myself yet. We will officially be separating into 2 different venues on the 18th of July, in other words next semester. Since I do not usually run on a semester timetable, and I’m in my 2nd or 3rd week of prac then, I’m foreseeing it to be quite a challenging time. But I’ll keep pressing on and I believe we can make it happen without much trouble.

I see myself trying to bring up topics that are worthwhile discussing in cell and I’m definitely open to suggestions from anyone. What we are doing in cell is basically to sow into each others’ lives and to reap what we have sowed, to encourage one another and support each other in times of need and to grow spiritually together. Doing that in a smaller group is much more optimal than trying to shout across to the room to 20 people. I guess the task at hand for me now is to learn as much as possible as I can and prepare myself to take on the role and to also imbibe my passion for God into other people. I feel that it is important to reach out to others who do not know the Gospel but it is also important to make sure that your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ are also growing spiritually and not lagging behind. Start with the people at home, then go outwards.

I believe my part to play in all this is to minister to my fellow brothers and sister in Christ. Not to say that missions and outreach and evangelism isn’t important, I feel that my role in the Body is to grow my brothers and sisters. Who knows, maybe in the near future I might have different roles in take on in the Body. The main thing I believe to to follow what the Lord leads me to do. Doing it might sometimes be hard and challenging at times, but to put it in a bigger picture, it is not about me but what God intends to do with me in His plan. I look at it this way, God, the great and almighty who created the heavens, the earth, the stars, the universe and everything it, is using little old me to go forth and makes disciples of people. Yes, it is unnerving but at the same time, I feel honoured to be playing my little role in the Body.

There are many more things I need to learn and study about but life is all about learning and it is a journey. I believe that learning doesn’t end at tertiary education, but that is just part of a lifelong learning journey. I learn new things everyday and I don’t think I want to stop learning. There are so many things in the bible that I learn each time I open it; a new lesson, a new verse, a new revelation and glimpses of God’s plan. It is so amazing that I can’t contain it, I want to tell the world! Yes, it is the line of the song.

Well, from here we shall keep growing, in numbers and spiritually with our walk with God. When Pastor Jason told us that we’d be multiplying again after 6 months (this was 6 months ago), I didn’t really believe it was possible. After we split from Finders, we were 8 people only. Now, we’ve grown to 23 people in cell. That is nearly 3 times the size of what we were in August last year. It is just amazing. Well, we can sit on our butts and still have cell with 23 people in 1 location or we can go forth and multiply and bring more people into cell.

Well, we shall go forth and GROW!
