THE CRAPPER SPEAKS
Saturday, October 07, 2006
Was awesome. The CLM that is. A piece of the puzzle I am, an obedient one I will be. I want to be greater. In Him that is. Was starving when I got out. Thank God for Ben's pineapple tart. I felt better.
Nel's farewell was pretty teary-eyed. She's an awesome leader, very inspiring. All the times we went to Serangoon for CG, and prayer meets with TP. Initiative, love, concern, care, excitement, Spirit-leading, joy, peace, even the black eye liner. I really enjoyed and somehow missed the times spent laming with her and building the group. It's a hard thing parting with her, but I know deep down, deep, deep down, we're never apart. For God's people are binded by Spirit. Am totally excited for you, Nel... *teardrop*
Had a good time of sharing with Tobias on the way home. Then straight after I reached home, I've come back to the battlefield. The enemy never sleeps, never stops planting seeds of bad fruit in the hearts of God's people. That's why discipleship and reponding to it is so important; we need to identify these seeds of bad fruit and weed them out. Correction is tough, correction is hard to accept, but correction is eternal outlook-based.
It is just so, so, so, so extremely hard discipling a person. So hard to correct a person, so hard to put into context something for a person to see, so hard convincing my heart that they will be able to stand the correction and so hard trying not to compromise. I love them so much, it hurts. Hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts! Then God comes it and exchanges it with compassion. And I keep wondering how God always does that for me. Always.
My heart goes out to everyone whom the haze is affecting. Jovin's got a rash. Alvin's got a load of rashes. Jason and Martin's health isn't that good. I'm pretty amazed I am not affected, because medical history-wise, I'm the frailest of my family, getting sick every year. I really, really want to pray for healing for them.
RP WILL GROW, RP WILL GROW! All through the service I was filled with the images of the RP people, past and now, and my heart cried out for more. People like Martin, Jason and Nehemiah can go a long way in God's kingdom. You all can make it! Life with God is special, because it is forever! Gambate!
Leadership is influence. I can't get it out of my mind, ever since the CTM with RP1 just now. It's so elementary yet so important. Each time you interact, you influence. And each time you influence, you lead. Choose to lead well.
