.: reflection on YA 144 meeting=) :.
thank God for today=)
thank God for today's message.
it's really good.
thank God for His reminder.
Proverbs 3:5-6.
well,
the Young Adult 144 meeting was really good!
learnt many things from there.
but need to process a lot.
after much processing,
the 2 main things i've learnt was from the story of salmon fish.
first, we need to ‘die’ in order to let the lives of our children flourish!
this is a challenge to be a parent.
in connection to the sermon on Sunday,
Pastor Khong mentioned that the only way up is DOWN.
in order to be spiritually up, we need to be broken by God again and again,
and be brought to the very bottom of our spirit.
the NEW self can only be ALIVE when the OLD self is DEAD.
yups.
the story of salmon also tells us the reward of self-denial in Philippians 2:9-11.
we will all reap what with sow.
when we sow with tears, we will reap with joy!
pastor mentioned, "no tears, no 12!"
hahas!
yups.
with self denial comes reward of God=))
self denial = God's promotion.
Jesus Himself was a very good example of self example.
and this is the reward of parenting! =))
hohohos.
bearing a child is not easy.
but parenting is not any easier.
teaching however isn't any better
but discilpining is the most challanging part for parents.
i've embarked onto this journey.
and i hope that many will board this ship that i am on now that we may see lives after ours and lives after lives be blessed because of our life!
i am only a mother of two spiritual daughters.
am believing God for multitudes=))
on and all, the very one thing that keep flashing through my mind after the meeting was something that Pastor Yeang Cherng said on the Wednesday’s night before we left, “We got to plough and plough when we are young, plough like there’s no tomorrow.” I don’t know why, but this sentence just kept flashing through my mind. And every time when it flashes through my mind, I think of my girls, I think of two of my juniors (wsss). Think God is trying to tell me something? Hahas!=)
