soup spoon.
these are some things i picked up from a conversation with a friend.1. i need to unclutter my life.
2. has my identity been determined by the things i do, so much so that i have forgotten who i really am?
3. when we're humble, that's the safest place to be.
4. dare to be ruthless to get rid of the things in my life that are hindering my relationship with God.
5. it's easy to be a shell, just doing and doing and meeting others expectations of myself. but is that the way it should be?
6. she sets aside blocks of her time on saturdays to spend with God. wei also suggested i do that. i should start this discipline.
7. slow down. read the Bible slowly, verse by verse and don't move on until i'm sure that i know what God is speaking to me about.
8. sometimes it's just letting go of the things that we've been holding on too tightly.
9. it's okay to have no leaders, let God work and let God find the manpower.
10. we can rationalize a lot. we've many reasons why we should or should not do something. how do i know the difference? seek God and He will surely make Himself known.
11. keep asking myself, is this where God wants me to be? is this what God wants to teach me at this point in my life?
12. i can't serve like in uni days anymore, i just don't have the capacity. dare to make a stand.
13. be a leader who cares about whether the people under me are where God wants them to be, not just people who are serving God in ministry.
14. it's important to have a friend who will spur me along in my relationship with God.
15. she didn't just ask about what we did at east timor, she asked how the trip was for me personally.
uncluttering in progress.
help me to trust.
