Some thoughts for the Miracle catch..... Basically I was amazed at the number of people who came at the whole of youth service and we managed to fill up all the way to the back section. However I felt there was much more that each one of us could have put in. Like what one of my sisters mentioned, she knew that God was there , but there were some who miss Him and miss sharing Him with their friends. It was indeed an awsome sight as I see the place filled and the lives that were brought into the kingdom of God. Personally for me, this bringing 12 in 12 weeks has been a great challenge to me. Throughout this entire process, it definitely did increase my faith and courage to believe God for the impossible. It was not easy, and the many rejection which I faced but I thank God for the entire process as I have learnt that nothing is impossible if you learn to believe and trust in the Lord. The rejection which I faces also reminded me of all the rejection that Jesus took upon himself on the cross. I mean what I face as compared to what Jesus faced is nothing. Hence through that it really brought comfort although initially I felt disappointed. It also made me questioned why would people reject such a wonderful gift that God has for them... It was amazing how I had the courage to just ask people down over the past 3 months, either by mouth, through msn or through sms, although only to get back in return negative responses. However I am suprised at the perserverence I had, to press on and just be "thick skin" to ask, even I know chances are slim. I can say almost pratically cleared my list of Hp names of friends to contact but it made me realised one thing that I actually have made many friends, but I did not really make an effort to keep in touch with them. Hence when such times come, it seems a little weird to just ask to come down, especially for church service out of the blue. Therefore I will make a point form now on, to keep more in touch with my friends. Through this miracle catch, it also made me realised the importance of prayer, how we needed to always work hand in hand with that. Not just by ways of man, but also by the holy spirit. It has been for sometime ever since I was committed to pray, especially so after Pastor mentioned about the Jabez prayer. I know I made every effort to really pray it morning and night. I believe the event also brought my daughters to move out of their comfort zone to really by faith invite their friends down. Although at the end not many turn up, but they understood what it means to have pressed in to ask and some also felt rejected, but believe it made each one more motivated to keep asking more friends...
Althought at the end only one of my friends came down for the service out of the many many that I asked, I know God did touch her and I believe a seed has been planted in her heart. Thank God for a new Granddaughter and I believe she will grow up well in this wonderful family that God has provided her with!
Daughters lets move ahead, onward to be mighty women of God.... Army Of God Are you ready? Whom do we serve? JESUS!
