yes, its been a while.
and summer is almost over =(
Time to get back to school soon! And to be honest, I'm excited to go back to school. I think it is the Lord who gave me this excitement because I prayed for determination to do well in school, and to also treasure my education more.
This summer has been hot hot hot. Yes, weather wise, and also the content. Lots of training for myself spiritually.
Ever since the missionary trip, I've been trying to keep all the things that I've been able to walk out in Fiji...like sleeping early, excersising regularily, sharing to b/s, voicing out more in meetings, and even shepherding the younger sheep. I've been able to sleep early for a long while, but recent days I'm starting to slack off, and have been sleeping a little before 12am or even at 12am >.< so badd....
Well one thing I am able to keep and am continuing to improve is shepherding. Ministry was one thing that I really wanted expand for myself after the trip. This is because I really see that the world is in great need! In need for workers of God, the world is waiting for people to spread God's love, and to fully and clearly understand His salvation. God uses people to do His work, we are not a burden to Him, but He delights to use us! Therefore I really have the urge to improve myself to be His quality worker in His finishing team, but not only that....I want others to be His quality workers too! The harvest is great, but the workers are few.
However, before we do anything for Him, we must go back to Him and enjoy Him first. It is by His love that we learn how to love others, by His abundance that we can overflow our joy to others. Therefore, I really made an effort to help others enjoy Abba and the Lord. This is core.
This summer I spent time on drawing near to God with a few younger sisters. This took more time and energy than I thought. It takes planning and prayers, and also love and patience in order for it to be effective. I really do give thanks to God that He prepared these sisters for me to help, even though sometimes, I really dont know how much I am actually blessing them....but its good training for myself.
I had thought that this would be a relaxing summer...I had 4 months off! But no...it was so busy! yet so abundant, I feel a little exhausted, but it was so worthwhile. I give thanks that God makes my life so exciting and causing it to be an upward journey!
