Today was our survey day. The day we cast nets out to fish for men. It was an interesting experience. Honestly, the day's a bit of a blur for me. What i do remember was however, a story shared in service, the dinner we had in Cafe Cartel for Eileen and a very short talk i had with Sherwyn.
I came to learn over this past few weeks that God can speak to us in many ways. Being caught up with my daily worries, i became less and less willing to read God's word. It wasn't an outright denial but rather an attitude borne of neglect. It brings to mind what my PE teacher used to tell us before we set off for our 2.4 km run, " Don't stop even if you are tired, just run slower. If you stop, you'll find it hard to start again." I had first stopped during the recess week and although i wanted to go back, i found myself finding justifications for not reading God's word. Soon, it became alright to not pray to God. I felt empty and perpetually tired, yet sleeping did not help the least bit. I needed to hear God's affirmation of love again, yet i was unwilling to read his word to know what he wanted to tell me.
Instead of giving up on me, God spoke to me through services. Today, he made known to me that if i trust in Him, i could be like Sarah, who overcame objections from her family and held on to her birthright. Now, even my dearie sis has received Christ. Only difference in our story is the level of faith involved. Have to seriously work on that.
Tired Ciaoz.
