How's everybody???
Well.. for me it wasn't too well for the past few weeks... Life wasn't really going smoothly for me.. But today i really wanna testify God's faithfulness and God's goodness. I know some of us are having trouble with support raising or maybe even other issues in life. But no matter what I just want to encourage the team to always forcus on God and why we're on this mission team.
As for me, I went through a difficult period of time. Maybe i'll share a little about what happened, to encourage you guys.. Actually after the exam's my spiritual life went down hill. I went into this state of "isolation", basically i isolated myself from the world. My life simply revolve around, church, home and.. nothing else. Only until now than i realise that i was running away from reality. I was hoping to not face reality. Looking at my own fund raising, i felt ashame. As a team leader i wasn't raising enough, in fact far way below enough. The more i think about it, the more the devil decieved me by telling me that i'm lousy, not good enough. Than just yesterday, i had a major crisis at home. My mom was upset for no reason and i was going through this emotio rollar coaster ride.
But after going thru all these... Bixia reminded me that no matter how big the problem is, how tough the situation we're in, all we need is to hang on to "Who our God really is?" Our God is our provider, our healer, our savior, our comforter, our helper. Our God is an Almighty God.. (someone shout Amen..) Today i finally understand what it means by we do not focus on the problem, how are we gonna solve the problem, but instead focus on who God really is and what is our purpose in life. All these i knew long ago, but all these while it just remained as a head knowledge untill now.
So let us as a team, really focus on God and to really work towards understanding why we're on this mission trip. Let's continue to encourage on another, and to keep each other in prayer. Most importantly, reminding one another of our purpose for the mission trip. It is to turn lost students in Japan to Christ-centered labourers for the world wide harvest field.
WE CAN DO IT!!!!
With God's love,
Serene
