Day 50 – Thank you for Extra Biscuits

I thank God for the extra biscuits!

As I was very excited on buying biscuits for the event, I realize that I bought too many biscuits for the participants. I bought two big plastic of biscuits! How about that? I didn’t realize that it was too many until I reach home. So what did I do? I get each kind of biscuits and left them at home. Even when I do this, there’s still more biscuits left but it’s ok, they can use them on the next event. And do you know what I do to the biscuits that were left for me? Of course, I didn’t eat them all! What do you think of me? Though I like food, I know to myself that the biscuits left are too much for me. So what I did is give each housemate one or two kinds of biscuits for their snacks.  I am so happy that I am able to share to them and to the community even through this simple act. I am happy that when I buy too many biscuits, maybe unconsciously, I was thinking about them. As for me, my reason for buying those many biscuits is that, I, myself don’t want to get hungry. For me, it’s better that there’s too much bread than too little bread. After all, that was an all day event so I don’t want my brothers and sisters in the community to get hungry. And indeed, God provides food for us and we have still some extra and able to share to our other brothers and sisters outside the community.

Thank you Lord!

Day 48 – Thank you for another successful event

I thank God for another successful event as this Friday is the day where all are preparations take effect as this Friday was our main event day. I thank God for allowing us all to have a good nights’ rest and allowing all of us, service team and participants to come early on the event and be happy to be with each other’s company. There are only some minor problems but God takes them all away almost immediately and even though there are pressure, its ok for me because I really love to be of service to my sisters and brothers.

All of the service team arrived at the venue early. We prepare and arrange the room according to our preference and we all excitedly wait for our participants. I am very happy because on this day, one thing I witness is the big heart of my sisters and brothers. That they are all willing to share their 3Ts in the community: their time, talent and treasure. I can see the happiness they have on sharing their blessings with each other. What I most really loved on this gathering is the feeling of being with my family. The feeling that the community accepts me as part of them. The feeling that God is with us throughout the event and He is blessing each and every one of us, I am thankful for that. This kind of event makes me feel important and good. In this kind of event, I can easily convince myself that I am good.

Thank you Lord!

Day 41 - Thank You for Singles fo Christ Events

Thank You Lord for all the Singles for Christ Events! 

I thank God for Singles for Christ Events

I thank God for all the Events sponsored by Singles for Christ community. Because of all the seminars and talks sponsored by SFC, I am able to hear God’s message. These events also help me strengthen my faith to God, in all His wonderful plans in store for me. Through these events also, I met people who are also testaments of God’s wonderful love for me. In this community, I feel important and I feel really glad to be here. There are many things I learned through this community. And one thing I was really glad is I found a family in the community with my household as its best. I also met other people. In this community, I believe that everybody can accept me as I am. Though I know that there was no perfect group no matter how hard I believe it, I still believe that the SFC community is worth believing in with all its flows. What matters most is that I am happy to be part of this community and I am happy to serve God. I always believe that it is one way of serving God and no matter what other people say, all of it comes down with my personal relationship to our Creator.

Thank you Lord!

Day 40 - Thank you for the Successful Event

Thank you Lord for the Covenant Orientation Event!

I thank God for the successful Covenant Orientation last week. I am part of the service team and I really feel the pressure it takes especially to the Team Leaders of the event. I really feel their stress and their hope for the event to be successful as I am feeling them myself. I am not sure if what I feel is what they feel but I am sure what I am feeling.

As I am a great worrier, I thought that there were few people who will attend because the event takes place when all the participants have work. So when I came at the venue on the proper time though I am a little late for the specified time that the team will come, I feel sad that there was just small number of people. But as time goes on, more and more participants came and I really feel glad. And I felt a little ashamed as I know that in those times that I worried, I lost my faith to God. And I feel really sorry for myself because I know that God will never fail us and yet, I worried unnecessarily. But I’m glad that God made that event successful. And I believe that everybody were happy on the outcome of the event. I really honored those who attend and make extra effort to be there because I know that for them, it is better to stay home and rest after a weeks’ work but still they chose to come and be part of the Covenant Orientation and help them understand the importance and the value and responsibilities we have for being a part of the Singles for Christ community.

Thank You Lord!
