hey all, I just wanna thank everyone for last sat, for praying for me, being with me, sharing etc... it really blessed, comforted and encouraged me.
I've been rather disillusioned from fri-mon... finding it very hard to accept myself cos from young I've been enjoying outdoors, and a fair bit of strenuous activities. and at least
till last on sat, numerous ppl have told me some of the things that the Lord has planned for me. some of these include the music ministry, others include cycling along with other stuffs. at that pt in time, it was really hard for me to see them cos I'm so concerned that for the rest of my life I might be a cardio-handicap, as in someone that can't allow his heart rate to go far beyond resting limits.
and its really like what was shared, Abraham, thru Issac is to 'create' a nation. then God tells Abraham to sacrifice, which includes killing Issac. the bible doesn't tell us if Abraham was unwilling. but it certainly tells us that Abraham obeyed, perhaps fearful, but still with faith that God can resurrect the dead.
the sharing spoke directly to my situation, here I am, as a considerably experienced and strong cyclist, am suddenly stripped of my strength.
whilst cycling to the mrt station from sch last evening, (at least I can still do short distance cycling) I prayed this prayer, Lord if you want me to submit my cycling life to You, I'll do it, not so as to get back my ability to cycle, but simply out of obedience to You.
1 last thing, I'd like to say b4 I sign off this sharing is that, I pray that we'd all be more open to each other.
I'm not saying we aren't, but that we should be more of what we already are.
Let's step out of our comfort zones, into some uncharted waters of trusting the ppl in our cell.
Forever I will Bless Your Name!!!
---YXX---
