240208 - His Goodness Overflows. :)
:) Felt very loved today. hehe. With all the sharing over at Killiney and by Pastor's preaching. :)I went to the service without knowing what was preached, which is kinda unusual 'cos usually I will get to meet people from the previous service so I would have some prelude of what Pastor preached but today I didn't meet anyone.
Yet DaddyGod was very very faithful because before the service I just told Him that I was kinda "busy" on the inside and I needed Him to just rest me. And there it is! A service on rest. Just for me. haha.
Anyway, just some updates about myself...
I'm not going back to studies! haha. At least for now that I know. Decided to give this time's uni admission a pass. hehe. Daddy gave me a lot of peace when I decided to give this year's uni admission a pass. So yea. hehe.
During the period when I was still deciding whether to apply, I was reading the book of Isaiah one of the days. And the word that kept coming up to me was the word "arise". Wasn't sure arise from what but I read something from Isaiah 52 which was later confirmed by Han then by Pastor today.
Isaiah 52:2
Shake yourself from the dust, arise; Sit down, O Jerusalem! Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!
haha. When I first read the verse, I thought that, "DaddyGod, You're so funny! You ask people arise then ask people sit.". haha. But yeap, Daddy showed me what He was trying to say. :)
We all know that dust means cares and Daddy is actually asking me to arise from all the cares (back then was my apprehension about studies) and sit down (rest!). You are a city of peace. You are made for peace. Sit down. Get up and get out of your cares by resting! :) hehe.
Then pastor also shared that Anak = chain around the neck. And it's like parallel to the second part of the verse. :D
Rest people. haha.
Today as I was talking to a bro, I saw that faith comes hand-in-hand with rest. haha. To me faith is trust and when you trust, that DaddyGod would work on your behalf, you can rest.
So to have faith is to simply rest. hehe. Easy right? :D
I was very encouraged to just share recently. First Daddy spoke to me then it was sharing by a bro. :)
I was reading charis' blog and she was sharing about how God fulfilled one of those thoughts that she had when she was young. To me she's someone who always seem to be living her dreams.
Then I was talking to Jesus about it and I realised, actually all of us have our own share of dreams being fulfilled, seeing Daddy real in our lives. But how come some people seem to have it more? It's simply because they choose to share about it. And as they share of what Jesus did for them, Jesus is magnified yet again.
I'm sure there are things that you've asked for/ hoped for today that took place. E.g. you wanted a bus to come later? haha. I always ask for that man. Especially when I wear my high high heel. haha. Tell Daddy to make the traffic light wait for me and ask Him to make the bus wait for me. haha.
Even the smallest things that you've asked for, do you know your Daddy heard and He went into action?
Don't despise the small thing (even if you think that small thing is yourself) because Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, gave thanks and it was MULTIPLIED. Not just increased. It was MULTIPLIED. Expect exponential multiplication people; be it quality or quantity.
There were several changes that took place in my life during this short period of like 2-3 months? First it was my colleague leaving then I was shaken, thinking maybe I should leave the job also! haha. Then when I finally got my heart settled, all prepared to eat this mountain-bread, I got news that she's not leaving. Then it was another colleague that would be leaving, learning the stuff she has been doing halfway, then got news that she's not leaving. Then my bro left for his studies. Then there was about to be a change of leader, got my heart settled and got news that there wouldn't be any change for the time being.
My response at the end? "God, YOU ARE SO FUNNY CAN!" haha.
I came to know that change is constant but my God is constant too. Throughout this time, it's really my growing period of dependency upon my God. To just spend time with my DaddyGod and Jesus. Leaning on His finished work and HIS opinion and love for me. :) Came to see that all that I do, my work and my service is to my DaddyGod.
haha. This was my journey during this period of time. More to come Jesus. :D
Oh my, so much was shared over at Killiney! I was reminded of what dot shared, about hearing the Word of God, let it drop into our heart and we would dance to the tune of God's word. So beautiful! :D
Anyway, I was really encouraged to keep sharing or even to start sharing again as sam shared about being open to share during cg. As he shared, I was reminded of what pastor preached before - The revelation that Daddy gives us are like wine and if we don't share, it would ferment within us. But as we share, we are actually making room for new wine to be poured in! So yeap. Just keep sharing and let Jesus keep pouring new wine in! :D
The only difference between the dead sea and the sea of galilee is that, though both seas have inlet, dead sea has not outlet but sea of galilee has. Don't be a dead sea, be the flowing sea of galilee. :D
Jesus, You are amazing.
Continue to show Yourself to me more and more. :)
