Sometimes I wonder, if I am more priviledged then them or are they more priviledged than me... I mean they lead such simple life... Though they may sometimes struggle to meet end's meet, but they seem have simpler needs... Not as complicated as my life I think... True they may have their woes and troubles... But their needs appear to be so much simpler... As simple as just making ends meet... As simple as having enough to eat... Or being able to provide an education for their children...
Though going to the rural parts of Indonesia feels like going through a time machine and returning to the 60s and 70s of Singapore, but really it is definitely an experience worth having... The simplicity of life, the reality of their needs just open so many doors for God to work His awesome miracles... I may not be able to phantom what God has installed for these people, but I know that my work and time spent serving them is definitely worth it... I know that as much as I serve God by serving these people He has called me to serve I see His love for them, they too see God's love for them...
But really sometimes missions can be done in Singapore within our community too... Going to serve in an area where is beyond our comfort zone is also missions... I think as a musician, who has never done girl's brigade before, it is really out of my comfort zone to do GB... I mean I have never done drill... Didn't really like the GB in my secondary school (cos they always fighting with us when it comes to recruitment)... So never really imagined myself as a GB girl... So it is really weird that in three months time I will become an officer... Whoa quite overwhelming...
I think my fellow spiritual sisters also very brave... My spiritual mummy was in band just like me, knows nuts about GB, yet she is throwing herself into being Captain of 46th Coy... Amazing! My spiritual sisters are amazing too! I mean look at Des... Whoa this meek girl who always have her inner turmoils... Well she is serving in GB... Look at Von... She is a GB girl alrite... But to do it at 46th Coy as an Officer... Well that's another ball game... Weiying too... She knew nuts about GB... A little about drill etc... But she is all so willing to serve... Fiona and Gwen, they maybe unavailable on weekdays at the moment, but they still try to go out of their way to try to serve... I thank God for each of them... Their hearts to serve God wherever He has called them to... Sometimes these little things goes unseen, yet I am sure our Maker of the Universe sees it and is most definitely please...
I feel that real missions need not go overseas to be categorised as missions... Going into a different ground that is foreign is also missions... Both are the same... Going to foreign land to do God's work... So yeah... You need not take a plane and fly out of Singapore to do missions... You can do it right here as long as you set your heart to love God... Cos when you love Him, you would obey His calling and carry out the task immediately... Having the faith that He will see you through... So yeah I am so totally thankful and graeful from the bottom of my heart that He has called me to serve Him... I am glad that I am obeying Him and so are those around me... It is very heartening to see everyone so passionate in serving Him... And I thank God for these people within my spiritual family...
Joshua 24:15 - But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
The church vision is that "We will serve the nations by planting and building apostolic faith communities of disciple-makers for Jesus through the establishment of cutting-edge ministriesin gateway citiesI believe that by serving where we are we are also estabilshing cutting-edge ministries... God is good all the time... And because He is so good and so real... I will serve Him all the days of my life, as long as He allows me to...
