God just works in wonder
After a long day yesterday, it seems a little tough to wake up this morning. Nevertheless, I woke up early to pray before I head out for my ministry gathering. I just love my mornings with God because those were the times I knew I am a NEW CREATION, the OLD HAS PAST! "Every NEW day, Your glory unfold, Filling my eyes, with Your treasures untold, the BEAUTY of HOLINESS bring worship anew, I simply LIVE FOR YOU!"
Today, my prayer is so different. I prayed for myself, seeing myself doing well in my ministry (maybe because I am doing a lot for today; with a heart to serve, you will know God will give you MANY opportunities) and believing in God for a greater breakthrough. =] As I met up with other PlayGroup teachers, I am so amazed by how God put all of us, so different into a place to just serve and love Him. We had great time EATING and talking. It is really a great time for me to meet some of the other teachers. =]
Then we head on for service! Praise God that we hit 30 children today. Like I mentioned, God works best when He wants to "test" us. We only have had 3 teachers today and we have 30 children (average kids - 20-24). It was really challenging but I am really thankful that by the grace of God, we managed to serve the children the best we can. It is truly amazing to think back now! I had my FIRST time doing Art and Craft and singing Goodbye and SECOND time doing Music and Movement. I really enjoyed myself and forgotten who I am when I was there enjoying with them. =]
As a teacher, we often believe we need to impart the values to the students, but so many a time, I realized that as I teach, my "teacher" is teaching me too. The Holy Spirit always reminds me that as I teach, I learn more. It is more than giving, I am receiving too. How true it is when the bible says, blessed is he who gives than receive. =] Today, we taught them about Patience! I tell you, I was NEVER so hit into my heart about this until today. It was just like it is telling me, "Trust in God's timing". Well, well! I will huh!
Serving in playgroup has not been so overwhelming until today, when I sat my foot to take-charge of every details in the service. I am just excited about doing more and trying more in this area of my life. =] On my way home today, I have been thinking what I have had taught. A strong conviction took over me. A strong sense of feeling grasp me and I believe this is not going to be for a while.
I felt the Lord said to me "don't walk ahead of me, stay beside me and I will lead you." My fear of not marrying at the age of 24 left me INSTANTLY! The journey from MRT to home was wide smile and a strong assurance. Gosh! I can't believe it but yet this is so real from the Lord. =]
Thank you Jesus
