5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”[a]
Hebrews 13:5
Dear Diary,
It has been a year since I didn't journal. Well, it's a new year - 2018, a year of freedom... I believe so. It's next year's Church theme - Freedom from all limitations to accomplish all divine assignments.
I'm learning to trust God every step...a step of faith in decision making.
What is more that I could ask, in this life?, to be able to spend my life serving Him in a Church. It is a ministry that I would not imagine. Well, His way is higher than my way. It's human nature to think it is a condition to serve God. For me, it's a condition that my parents are healthy and strong. What is more that I could ask for?
Anyway, the whole year of 2017 is kinda like a big jump from one end to another end. I won't be sharing much. The verse above is a reminder for me to be contented in what I have now. Although I do not have extra to spend on pedicure/manicure or even spa or even expensive treatment for hair, clothing... I am fully aware being in a full time ministry, I have just enough to spend. I'm thankful. Honestly! The best, God knows and provided small/big thing for my need and want. He cares! He really do. I'm truly thankful. This year Christmas, was meaningful although I don't feel like a celebration but I'm blessed with the Christmas presents. All pressie is right, useful and right on time.
This is a temporary journey for me to go through. I know I need to work on my budget or spending power. I realised it is a discipline which I need to learn for this year.
I'm caught by surprise of how He works thing in my life. I made a promise to Him that I will overcome a habit which is hard to deal with (which I think is sinful), by keeping myself pure for 3 months. Right now, I'm an overcomer. =)
Then, came a guy, who had shown interest in me. I'm taken a back. I'm still waiting for God additional confirmation. I wanted to know it's really a double confirmation from Him. I told God many times I want the first and last man. Don't give me too many choices. I'm easily confused. Somehow, I'm a doubtful of my own hearing. Seriously, I'm a sheep who don't know His voice? How can it be? I'm doubtful...doubting Thomas? Or I still have the fear and low confidence? It's my own personal reflection.
I need a bigger faith in believing so. Holy Spirit, please help me...Well, below is my list about what I'm planning to do.
Things to do in 2018:
1. Prayerful and fasting lifestyle
2. Reading life - read more books
3. Finish studying in AOIC
4. Continuous support to missionaries
5. Start running and tabata exercise
6. Join a marathon in Hong Kong
7. Building relationship with Children's Church leaders and youths
8. Travel to Vietnam for holiday
9. Cook more and probably try baking?
10. Sharing Christ with others
Alright time to move and do my assignment.
Thank you diary for allowing me to share my thoughts.
God bless.
Serena
