Impactful Sunday!

Well, been a long while since I blogged. My last entry being on April, and well, now I'm back in Singapore. Well, came back since May 18... I'll slowly cover my SEP experience later, but for now, will blog the current things since I'm pretty tied down by projects, projects and more projects!

Today's service was an impactful one. Well, a guest speaker by the name of Nick Vujicic came to preach. He's an ordinary handicapped person, but God used him extraordinary. For the first time, I witnessed someone with no arms, no legs, being so joyful and being an encourager to many! Well, he certainly did encourage me and strengthened my faith. I may forget most of the things he said, but one very important statement struck me, and I guess I'll meditate and remember for life: "No one can steal your joy if your joy is placed at your salvation!" That sentence hit me in my heart like a double-edged sword! Tears started streaming in my eyes, as I finally found out what true, eternal joy is. All these while, I was joyful because of the blessings from God in the area of my finances and other aspects in life. However, I get unhappy easily, especially reviewing my sad college grades, and the depressing fear that I might not land up a decent high paying job after I graduate. Well, all these were my priorities in recent years, as I strive for the good reason: to be able to glorify God in all aspect of my life. Well, the thing is I did those on my own strength, and it is certainly IMpossible (another statement from Nick). Now I finally know how to maintain the joy, that is to take joy only one thing, and one thing alone, which really matters: my salvation. Thank God I'm saved! It sure give me optimistic overview of my life for now! For those curious of who is Nick Vujicic, I urge you to visit his website: www.lifewithoutlimbs.com. Nick Vujicic: Thank you so much! Your preaching and encouragement certainly placed my life back to the right track, as I walk through this narrow way with Christ!
