@2:01 AM
Wanted to blog for some time but was wondering how to put it aptly. Anyway, I think I'm so undetachable from my hp: it accompanies me on QT for a higher calling, i.e. for me to record down what God is speaking to me. I figured typing on my hp is faster than writing on paper...
I've been praying and thinking about a couple of things the past week...
I've had a revelation through my bday week (yea, thank God that I can use the word 'week' here!) about having a
thankful heart. It really blesses my heart when I hear from people who are not really close (physical distance and interaction) to me over this season. Received bday greetings from some of my ex-cg members such as Roy, Janet and Wenlong, and of course Jialing; and a surprise gift from Roy (thanks so much! it really made my day! =D). Suddenly it dawned upon me that many a times, it's not the people who are talented, born leaders, wonderful soul winners etc. who leave an impact in my life and cause me to remember them, but it's really the people who remember to give thanks. Those who know that 'hey, you're not perfect but thanks for sowing seeds into my life and believing in me. that mattered.'.
Was talking to a good friend and we had a common consensus. At the end of the day, who are the people who are closest to a leader's heart are really those who come with a simple heart of gratitute, not so much coz of what wonderful things the leader can or have done for them, but coz they CHOOSE to honor the 'invisible' seeds that have been silently sown into their lives.
They give thanks coz they love, no strings attached. These are the people who will really go far in life, no doubt. You know, I think that is so similar to us staying with and in a family. Sometimes, it just does not reside in choice, but
it is a matter of destiny that we have been meshed together with a certain family. Your life is made to be tied to this group of people- there's no escaping despite the good or the bad. We just learn to love and embrace. Going elsewhere can make you happy, but you can never be fulfilled, because that missing puzzle piece is found in this family, in this home.
I need to learn how to be a better daughter to the house of God, to this family I have been placed in. More. Wadda bout' you? =)
