// feeling :: hungry// prayer for :: Sat's outreach
Today was another packed day for me!
First, I went for a zone meeting at 11am. There was a Bible study class there and I was involved. So now I'm currently taking up two Bible Study classes! Getting Started and Foundation Truth. Heh hehz. Gonna be good ~
And . . . I got my first tag!! My very first tag! But I didnt go for the interview so my name wasnt printed -.- ...
Ah so, after that I hadda rush down to school from Jurong to collect back our art pieces n our prep work from the exam center. Geez, out of 15 ppl, only 5 students + 1 teacher showed up. So you can imagine how hard it was to get everything back to school!
When we finally did it (thank God!) I went across the road to get my lunch cum dinner. Then I went to my hse in Dover. Watched TV and ate, then I fell asleep. Soon the sisters came, and all of us fell asleep on the couches!
They look so comfortable!
Ah, so anyway, today turnout for cell group isnt good =/ only 2 brothers and 5 sisters.
Catherine's sermon today wow-ed me! First, she talked about the kinds of life Christians would lead, like persecution and thanksgiving all that. The second part really made me sit up straight to get every word she said.
She talked about
Self-esteem.
At first, I thought that self-esteem was coordinated with pride. But it turns out I was wrong.
Every sane living Christian SHOULD have high self-esteem. Of course, like what Pst Kong always say, you are who you think you are.
Sure, we should be humble. But being humble doesnt equal to being a total bum and looking down on yourself. We are who we think we are.
Think about what you deserve! Perhaps, you may think you're a lowly creature of God and you dont deserve anything. True, we all dont deserve anything but come on, with such a great God like God Himself, what is too good for His children! If we think we cant get anything good, we're also indirectly saying that God isnt capable to giving those things to us.
I was so struck by this message that when she asked whether we had anything to say about it, I raised my hand and started telling her how it helped me in understanding other people who have low self-esteem of themselves.
We must have good self-esteem of ourselves before we can even accomplish anything!
Wish Gregory was still in W271. When I get back my guitar (If I ever do), I want to ask someone I know to teach me informally rather than engage a teacher. I thought of Gregory because he offered to lend me his guitar.
Wouldnt it be ideal if we were in the same cell. He could teach me before or after cell meeting. Now, with svc and BS after that, its kinda hard =/ argh. But, first things first. I gotta get back my guitar -.-
