Hey people!
This is the first post of this blog of Brenda's! Actually I have been blogging at friendster blog (http://brendalikeme.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/) but in order to let more people who do not have friendster to read about me, I have got myself a NEW blog! Yay! Ok, let's get started!!!
Spent this morning at church. Ps Simon is back! I was really touched by his sermon on Friday prayer meeting. He spoke on progression. Everyone of us needs to progress, otherwise we would most probably be in a position of static or even digressing! Therefore, armies of God, PROGRESS!
Praise The Lord! I have finally finished my Vision and Philosophy (V&P) class! Thanks Sister Annie! She is indeed a great teacher, who not merely teach what is written in the booklet, but much more than that! (That's why she took longer than a quarter to let us graduate! =p) She shared with us her personal experiences in her walk with God, her relationship history with Bro Derrick, the relationship of hers with her family and many many more.. I thank God for each V&P class because I find myself to have learned a lot from this Word for Life class. Each and every personal experience shared by Sis Annie was inspirational and I know she had tried her very best to let us learn as much as we can in this 3 months.. The rest is left for us to discover and experience ourselves in our own walk with God.
As a 10 months old baby Christian, Ps Simon motivatedd me with his sermon on Friday prayer meeting.
He said, "You may be just a baby christians, but do you know that babies can bite? Yes! You can bite, too! By God's grace you can defeat the devil! In Jesus' name! At the toughest time, fight till the very end and expect help from our Mighty God!"
How encouraging it is! We have nothing to fear for we have our God to back us up! I Thank God for guiding me to the right path, for leading me to the light, for bringing me back to Him again... "Was lost but now I found, was blind but now I see..."
My heart was really stirred by what Ps Simon had preached. When I went home on Friday night, I knew I must do something.. I must progress.. Then, I spoke to The Lord, I prayed for a sherperd.
I told God, "Father God, I really need a sherperd, a sherperd who can lead me and help me in growing spiritually. Lord, I long to grow in You. I will sms Chang Ting and ask for her help in assigning me a sherperd. Lord, Kia Ing them have already got their sherperds but why not me, Lord? Is it that it's not the right time yet? If You have Your chosen one for me, Lord, sent her to me via Chang Ting. Lord, if it's Your will to let me wait for Your perfect timing, let there be no reply." Immediately after I prayed, I messaged Chang Ting. Firstly, I shared with her how greatly encouraged I was by Ps Simon's sermon and she replied and said that she agreed and asked me which part did I find encouraging, so I told her what was in my heart. Then, there was no reply from her. I did not know when will I find my sherperd, or the other way round, when will my sherperd finds me, but I have faith that my Lord has His appointed one for me. Probably I just have to pray harder. Those who have faith that God will provide me with a sherperd, please pray for me as well. Thanks.
