Today, I met a friend who told me that she’s been reading my blog…
And she added that she was inspired by some of the stories I’ve been sharing.

Wow, that sure took me by surprise.. a pleasant surprise I might add. =)
So I thot to myself… I’ve gotta keep it up. I’ve had many many things I wanted to share and blog.. but have just not gotten myself to to write or type it out.

Anyway, you can look forward to more stories on the way.

Thanks friend.. for your simple but timely encouragement!

Today we had our very 1st STINT Touchpoint!

God has so amazingly added to our numbers in our team in ForeRunner!
There are actually now 4 STINTers (1-year commitment interns) in training with us!
Each of them has a unique and story on how God called and led them to this decision to give one year of their life to serve Him.

I’ll share (and feature) each of them at a later time.. so that you might be blessed and encouraged too! =)

Frankly… it’s been tough 2 weeks.. back to the drudgery of life.

It’s especially difficult coming from a ‘high’ experience of a missions trip etc.

Time and again.. I guess I had to remind myself what I shared with the team at end of our trip… The very thing I ‘preached’ I’m now struggling to practice. =(

Yet again I’m reminded from Oswald Chambers (in ‘My utmost for His highest’) that… “We are not meant to be seen as God’s perfect, bright-shing examples, but to be seen as the everyday essence of ordinary life exhibiting the miracle of His grace” He goes on to say, “Drudgery is the test of genuine character. The greatest hindrance in our spiritual life is that we will look for big things to do. Yet, “Jesus… took a towel and …. began to wash the disciples’ feet… (John 13:3-5)”

“The routine of life is actually God’s way of saving us between our times of great inspiration which comes from Him. Don’t always expect God to give you His thrilling moments, but learn to live in those common times of drudgery of life by the power of God.”
