service today was really really awesome! from the praise and worship to the preaching it's just amazing. the part of the sermon which realli got me thinking is when pastor preached bout changing the way we think about who we are in God. Pst preached bout the terms and conditions of being a disciple in those days, that it's realli onli the best of the best can be disciples of the teachers. and those who did not make e cut will have to continue their father's business.a disciple in those days not onli wants to know what their teacher knows, but also do what their teachers do. and a teacher will onli choose disciples whom he thinks is worthy and able to pass on his yolk (his interpretation of the Bible and how to live it out). Yet Jesus, instead of choosing the best, he chose ordinary fishermen who obviously did not make the cut hence are working in their father's business. so Peter when he walked on water it's becox he saw his teacher walking and he wants to do what his teacher does too! but when he starts to sink, it's not becox he doesn't have faith in Jesus, but rather himself. Jesus was not sinking. hence Peter had no reason to doubt that Jesus can walk on water. but when he saw that the waves were boisterous, he started to doubt himself. but from the beginning till the end, Jesus has never once doubted Peter. becox Jesus only chose Peter becox He knows that Peter is able to do whatever He does and also continue His work here on earth. So us, being called to be disciples too, are also able! John 15:16 says.. you did not choose me, but i chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain.. So realli, we shouldn't doubt our potential in God. cox when God gives the vision, He gives the provision!
so after service i went for blood donation. waited for very long den the lady said i cant donate. okay la, im not realli sad cox im scared of blood and scared of pain and scared of needles. hahaha! but guess wad the lady said. she said my vein was too small and i need to do more weights! lol!!! i was like thinking.. do more weights!?! i already do a lot of weights le leh. hahahaha!! so after that i went downtown to bowl with some cell groups. it's totally cool la! today's outing was so fun! i never had so much fun in a LONG time already. cox jc a bit no life. whole day study. hahaha! but i think today is realli God's gift to me, spurring me on for the exams ahead. from talking to the ushers in the morning to getting front seats even though im serving, to getting such fun fellowship. it's realli God telling me," go ahead, have fun. this is my present for you for studying so hard these few weeks. dont worry about tomorrow's exam becox I'll be there with you."
