hey guys,
just came back from some long stretched ymc meeting with all core leaders. been a while since i stepped down but i still do feel the pressure of achieving unity and moving all the communities forward. its been such a struggle really for so long and it explains my relief when i handed over to Jason. not just the sheer difficulty of convergence of opinions and discernments, its of judgements and temptation to sin. as such, i feel the need to just leave that scene for a while, of worrying about all the other communities, and just focus on my own spirituality and on LOG. perhaps it isn't right to intrude into other communities and to challenge on what they have to do, and so i shan't do it any longer. actually, probably boils down to my own fault for not trusting in God's providence for each community.
then here comes dance ministry which i want to start. yet after today's meeting, i just feel like i need to fight another battle all over again. or perhaps if i set things right from the start with a common direction, it wouldn't be so bad.
praise God though, that once i came back, i saw brother nicholas' note on fighting a war for God. Not that we're fighting each other for what we think is right, but that the fact that we are fighting is the work of the Devil. Regardless of who's right, perhaps there's another way of resolving things. One challenge though is for both sides to recognise that the Devil is at work, so lets pray for unity. and pray for me.
