Warm up post
Wow.. It's been a long while since I last posted in here. The lack of a personal computer at my disposal has taken its toll. It's increasingly hard to write when I'm at work too cos I've got real work to do finally.. Haha.. I miss my com!! It's got the coolest most customized desktop that I can't have at work or anywhere else.. *sighz* So what's been happening in my life so far? Much. But much has been in limbo too. With regards to my family life we're pretty much in the eye of the storm for now and just bracing ourselves and waiting for 'da bomb'. If you know what I mean. Of course we're not gonna wait until the cows come home but there really is not much we can do now but wait.
This Christmas I finally tasted the true meaning of it all. Within my spirit I just saw a vast difference between the way the world is celebrating Christmas to what it really means. It's a really special one cos I found myself blessed enough to be able to be blessing others (despite my current situation) and using the opportunity to express my gratitude at the way friends have been there for me all this while, through it all.. It's amazing how I can still keep my spirits up despite all that is happening but I have God to thank for, and the family of believers He has placed me in, that I am able to have a community of support across the ages (from youths to adults). Taught me a really big lesson about the importance of community. That's why we are called to think globally but act locally. If you can't think of any way to serve in the community you are living in, most likely global ministry is out of the question. I'm seriously thankful and joyful about being able to bless people all around me in terms of gifts, fellowship and all..
It was nice to have my postcard project involving some of my cell members.. Felt so communal and all.. It was nice. Much better than when it was just Ashley and me. It was a real struggle! But yesterday was a breeze.. No man is an island.. Hmm maybe I should change my title to 'Living in a community'.
