When griping grief the heart doth wound,
and doleful dumps the mind opresses,
then music, with her silver sound,
with speedy help doth lend redress.
-William Shakespeare
Liberated Joy
What an action-packed week or so I had... and I don't think it's ending just yet !! I'm definitely living it good though.
The frenzy kicked off with the Poly Summit last week. I thought it was a great experience and I'm taking back what I ought to... not leaving anything behind. The men's retreat followed right after and it was pure relaxation in that one... well at least for me I guess. Spent good times with all the guys... always nice and fun with the brothers. Good times. God nudged me in my heart a little that night at the retreat and it forced me to rethink about certain issues about myself. I was shaken but it's His grace that things are revealed to me when He opens my spiritual eyes. All is good though. God is always good.
On Saturday, I left early in the morning right after the retreat. From GCTC all the way to Maris Stella to conduct the promotional test for the cadets. I can tell you I was still in a blur. I was in no condition to sit through 23 cadets doing a 10 min short case but thank God I pulled through. Talking about St.John's, Deliang's getting married in October !! Hahah. That's great.
It was church on Sunday, and maybe I'm slowly adapting. There's more still, so much more to desire. But I don't want to be ahead of God. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I volunteered for babysitting at the Bill Lawrence Conference for the staff. Those were the best times. I went with xiao mei and the kids are adorable. Little terrors actually. I never knew how draining it was to keep the kids entertained and keeping up with them. After 3 days of monkeying around with them, it felt weird that it all came to and end. Oh I miss those times. I had the best time.
Wednesday night was the freshmen outing at Marina Bay. I've been thinking about bringing them out but one of them took the initiative to organise a steamboat buffet so that was encouraging. It was meant to be just the freshmen but somehow Tina and I joined them. Hahah. It was a time to bond the juniors and hopefully this will help the others get assimilated.
Then there was the ST planning retreat on Thursday. 1 entire day of it. Now that's long. The ministry barbeque at East Coast yesterday was... wet. And cold. Would it sound funny that I was shivering while I was barbequeing ? That's a first for me. Got totally soaked in the sea... so there went my handphone too. Slipped my mind and my handphone went for a dip with me too. I don't care but I loved the time when the few of us worshipped to the music. The praise songs were playing and we danced and jumped and sang and worshipped. How liberated, and that's what I love about it. Why care about how people looked at us ? I care about how God looks at me.
I get visions from God, but then it's not easy being confident about it, or even interpreting it. Especially when it's so weird. Is there hurt in the ministry ? Bleeding in the hearts ? Even so, what do I do ? What's next ?
God I seek You.
