it sets me thinking since last week..

what have i been doing to make an impact, to the lives of others and not the things of man?
definitely the lives of others value more...

ppl often thank me for the things I had done for them, but it's really because i did helped them in a task or during an event but after a while such things are forgotten and i realised i haven't really made an impact in their lives.
and i do see around others' blogs giving thanks to certain people who had impacted their lives and you could really feel the gratitude out of it. and it really touched me seriously.

Comparatively to the above, what did i actually do to make sure I did impacted someone to shape his life for the better? virtually nothing...

Being a ministry person is good, you get to expand your values and talents in the area which you are serving in and often most talents are towards objects or things. Suddenly I'm just reminded of Ray telling me before that being in this ministry it's never about being just an admin person, but it's really out to make disciples and growing the ministry through the ushers, though admin can be important...

As we are talking about the Great Commandment, the Great Commission and the Cultural Mandate that includes impacting the marketplace, really what are we executing out of these 3 values?
One word: People. They form the heart and soul of where we are today, the society. So if all I'd done was just helping to stand in the gap for someone in an event, what have I actually done?

point to ponder for the week...

fighting
Monday, November 30, 2009 @ 10:52 AM

the feeling of being battered after battles, hurt and wounded after countless of near-death encounters, tired from the days of fighting and without seeing the sun.

enemies raging towards you in triumph roars of victory, sounds of carriages and stomping of horses, grounds breaking and shaking as giants like Goliath stomps with each step, thunder clasping in the sky and everywhere you turn is dark with the armour of theirs. there is no light for you.

seeing the scene of you being surrounded by the enemies all-round. the only way to escape is to fight through for an opening or be left dead by the enemies.
either you choose to live, or to give up and suffer under the hands of your enemies.

as you fight, enemies come charging more ferociously than ever. with each slay of your sword, another enemy appears. with each block of your shield, he hits more fiercely, wanting to thump your shield.
as the sword gets blunt and unable to slay, as the shield gets dented and breaks appear, you are left with your bare hands to fight. every punch and kick lands a dramatic blow onto the enemy and he falls. yet, many more are coming.

you are hurt, pierced by the staffs that looks like pythons with evil eyes, slashed by swords that yearns for your blood, bruised by the punches that wants to crush you like an ant, deafened with roars as loud as thunder.

tiredness sets in, desperation to breathe, stop everything and cry increases. fear sets in, hope diminishes. And someone whispered into your ear, "Why don't you give up? Why try? Once you throw in the white towel, everything will stop. You will be released from your pain."


sounds familiar to some?

what will you do when you go through such a trial?
Give up?
Continue to fight, hoping up till the last breath someone comes to kill the enemies in one swipe, up till your very last breath?

rising above situations

in a situation where faith is challenged, that's when the outcome is decided at the point of decision making. To work on the faith, release it or to lose it and give up.

With dreams and visions coming for you, it is often inevitable that it can be big, too big for us but it can be reached and fulfilled. All it takes is a bit of faith and self confidence to reach out for that dream or vision and make it truly ours.

through Him, even the most difficult task can be the easiest as long as you believe. :)

impatience, anxiety, fear, low self-esteem. all these are none but by-products of the journey we go through. throw it aside! Move on, rock on, shake on! Exciting life on the way! woohoo!

the new season started 3 weeks ago, when someone spoke a dream, a target into my life.

since then probably things had changed, my weaknesses start to surface and this time, rather than sinking it through it was reflected right onto me and i could just identify it in the instant. perhaps He's telling me that I should work on those things as I go on.

time is short. but a lot of things to be done. when potential's fully unlocked, nothing really can stop what's to come for Him.

very blessed this few weeks coz' of friends that ard me who's always there to support and make my life so 'random' but fun? haha...

i just saw a new meaning to where i am in this ministry because the relationships had blessed me so, so much! :)

cheers!

there is never the issue of time not being enough. we set the deadline, we set how much time we need to accomplish something.

it is always about the heart wanting to make use of the time we had allocated to accomplish the task by the deadline.

time constantly runs. the factor is only ourselves.
