Yups
This will be very long...i think. Slowly read when you've the time.
Well the hols are about to end for those in jc. Argh. School. Our dear poly friends will be continuing won't they? Well, life's da long journey. Life without mission is 1 without a solid purpose. Sad isn't it to see people just drifting, even if they're in a group or alone? Don't you feel some desire & prompting to just escape your shell once in a while & do something useful?
Well living a mission is about steping out of your comfort zone. It's never easy, though it might just get easier once you're feel comfortable. If you find it hard to find something to do, you should be finding it hard to pick what to do.
When was it when you've wondered if there was more to a leaf falling? Do you wonder given the rapidly changing world has the world';s society change? Has it changed to meet the responsibilities that come if the advances? Will that ripple cause a tsunami? Will 1 word that you say change a person? What will picking up a piece of ruibbish mean? Many of us have lost a child's wonder & curiousity, or maybe it's no longer at that level. It's God's gift to us in appreciation of His wonders & a sensitization tool. When was the last time we wonder if that cripple on that street be able to walk again or if the rich be able to turn his/her gaze top the poor?
You'll notice that there;s much to do if you reflect that back onto God. We need to e sensitive to the promtings of God. Let Him lead us in His way. The Good Shephard guides through many ways. The field is ruch & ripe for the harvest.
Every1's individual interest is a gift & a strength from God. See all those various ccas in our previous secondary schools & in present tertiary institiutions. Don't they put up a pretty display during cca maze. Don't they satisfy the indivualistic pursuits of the youth in question? You notice it's nearly impossible to do, be & experience everything? Attention span & energy is a rather limited commodity, such that humans are meant to complement each other is this field. What you can't see or do is done by another person, say a long brother or sister Hence this is best done in a community. A support in our weakneses & blindspots! What is the Church for?
In looking at so much possiblities in this hungry, thirsty, poor...(the list goes on) world of OURS, which we bear a responsibility & accountabl\ility othe world, which some deluded liberals have said otherwise. We will need to focus on specific goals while remaining open to changes. Too many things to do! Aah headache! We need to do what we're called to do. Sometimes it's not our strengths, but nonetheless, trust in God's grace to finish it! It's inevitable that we'll find different personal callings, perhaps joining various ministries outside of LoG. We need to understand as well as support such decisions. LoG has to become flexible & open if it's to survive & function as a community to serve the Lord.
We're human. Hance mistakes will be made. Perhaps it's not a mistake to make mistakes to learn & grow. We must be open to changes as such as it's a necessity. Pray for humility & don't succumb to pride. It's a painful process, but you'll emerge more in tune with God. Be prepared to take a flwed 1st step, no matter how flawed it is, it is still beautiful & blessed. The 1st step is difficult, but often, through faith & a lot of delibveration i make it through to his purpose, even if it's vague at 1st.
Oft that not you'll find yourself lost. Hold onto the Go-given urpose & faith & love tightly! Motivated to do stuff for others(your neighbours), yoursrself & Fod under God's grace, guidance & blessing is the most powerful force that can moce mountains & nations.
Conquering yourself will probably be your life's mission. Welol, good luck!
Don't forget to pray! Prayer, sooths the mind, comforts the soul, refreshes you for another purposeful stride. Through prayer, you're being guided back to God. Well form all your connections.
Don't deny your strengths, because it's cquite a silly thing to do. By doing so, you're distancing yourself from realising yourself. It's quite fake. Don't forget the past members from your prayers.
I'm pretty blur of where & when to start too! Take the voyageout! Conquer your fears of failure; prepare for what God has prepared for you already. The hols are about to end! F2 Will you there dream & live God's dream?
