hello central three. weren't we all so blessed by the seminar? I WAS. and im filled with new passion for the word of god and his work.

anyway, i need to tell something.

for the next couple of weeks, i will not be attending service on saturdays.

before you start judging me, let me explain. haha..

well, the reason im missing megalife service is my sailing training. as some of you might know, im the captain of my team and those of you that are cca leaders, you would know what that entails. leadership, discipline, motivation and commitment.

so basically, what is happening is that i realise, i need to give my team my time for this next month. i need to give my time into preparing myself for my crucial role this coming interschools.

am i losing my commitment for the local church? NO WAY! its just that this is a season that i need to go through with my calling as a leader in my sailing team. that is no less that that of a cell leader.

am i letting the world get to me? NO WAY! of course i want to win the interschools. its normal. but it is by no means tearing me away from God. what is it that God looks at?

am i not trusting God with my sailing? am i not surrendering it to him? no. i know that in my heart.

well, actually, i really just want to tell you guys that you know what? schoool is important. cca is important. projects and tests are important! do all these things to the best of your ability!

BUT!

remember, that you must be right with God about it.
if you're studying so much you dont do your quiet time, you know you're going down the wrong road.
if you seem to have something on every saturday and you ALWAYS cant come for cell or service, you know you're going down the wrong road.
if winning is so important that you would probably breakdown if you lose, you know you're going down the wrong road.

learn these things while you're in secondary school. because for sure, once you come to jc/tertiary education, the pressures of the world would weigh down on you like a oversized chiwawa(where did that come from). the higher you go in your education, the MORE you'll be thinking about your future. its true.

frankly, this is one of the areas im struggling with right now. my future, i cant seem to surrender it. but im learning.

you must learn too.

if you're able to learn to sacrfice small things now, the big things would be easier.

learn to give up what you have to.

but of course, maintain that balance..

its all about the balance..
