my spoken words for young adult ministry launch.How God has worked in my life through Young Adult Ministry.
I attended church since primary 5 but back-slided in year 2005. Then, I was invited to Westside Anglican Church by our brother Steven last July and am grateful to God that I’m standing here once again in the house of God, with my faith renewed and with this opportunity to testify how awesome He has been in my life.
The timing for me to join Young Adult Ministry (YAM) is perfect. It was the time when YAM just started and I got to know this bunch of young adults whom I felt very comfortable with and could relate to. It was a very warm, fuzzy and comfy feeling. I was going through a very trying period too. I fell out with a very good friend of mine and got untangled in friendship issues. That friend was closest to me in NTU and I have never felt so hurt by a friend in my life. I was at a loss of whether I should salvage that friendship as it meant a lot to me. By nature, I worry a lot and cannot let go of situations easily. But God impressed upon me Psalm 23, to find rest in Him and lift all my cares onto Him. I did so and now we are on talking terms again ((:
For 15 years of my life as a Christian, I found it difficult to fully commit myself to God. I found it difficult to let go of many worldly desires and activities. My main weaknesses were my social obligations towards my friends and active nightlife. My Friday and Saturday nights were always packed with activities and social gatherings.
I saw my baptism in April this year as a new start to my spiritual life. When I decided to get baptized, I knew I was ready to commit my life fully to God. I truly felt renewed, restored and refreshed. My priorities and focus were different from then on and I felt that added confidence and strength from Him.
I am very grateful to YAM as it has allowed me to grow spiritually with each week’s sharing, cell group sessions and my follow-up sessions with my dear mentor, Ivy. The Lord has great plans for all of us just like how he has called on Huiling, Ivy and Zhong Fa to head the start up of YAM. There are so many people out there whom have yet to be touched by God’s love. Matthew 9:37-38 says, Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” I am still work in progress and I am still learning to let go of worldly possessions. But I know, I want to be God’s harvester.
Just thought I would share this here. My medium for ranting. Have been very frustrated lately by my wandering thoughts, whether irrational or impulsive. I'm still trying to figure myself out.. I think in a too complex manner? HAHA. I really hate myself for being in such a state. But I think I am fine today. I have freaking quiz 2mr. its 15% of 10 AUs. HOLY COW. 1.5 AUs 2mr ya noe? Back to the books ((:
