This coming week...

before we get on to this coming week, we gotta reflect on last week.
Hectic at work. Hollister. the CEO/President of Abercrombie was coming in and we were staying till like the next morning of the next day for work. CRAZY.

the devo that caught my eye was this one, on November 3:

Counted Faithful
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, becuase He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry. 1 Timothy 1:12

thoughts of this passage:

I truly do thank God for giving me time, taking me away from Engineering, and taking away my pride. I have been humbled and down to my knees. I have reached the bottom of the barrel and i'm still alive. To tell you guys the truth, this has been my WORST year ever, living on this earth. School, Family and everything you can think of.
But it has also given me the freedom to dwell in my spiritual gifts a bit. Growing up Ontario, we had to learn the recorder in grade 1-3, a real instrument by grade 6 to 8, flute was my choice of weapon, and then whatever you wanted to do afterwards was you own choice. I chose the guitar and for all you don't know, i just started in late February and early March. I am blessed for playing at the CCF retreat and just learning more and more lessons in doing God's work. And now, i get to serve at a church, TMPC, and i'm so happy to serving God and doing His work.

and with serving God, i think its time to get baptized. To believe is to ask for salvation, to get baptized is to grow in Christ and declare you will follow Him the rest of you life. I really don't remember when i actually decided to follow God, i am gonna assume it was a progressive thing instead, but i remember one of the very first times i actually felt His presence. It was the summer of grade 12, when Kyrios fellowship went camping. It was at night and sound carried far in the middle of the night. The sky was clear. The stars were everything. I looked up, and saw, and this was the very first time. It was beautiful. Stars reached in all directions and for as long you can see from human eyes. This was the moment i knew God wanted me to meet Him. The greatest thing was, it was with all my closest brothers and sisters at that time. And it was during worship that every word stuck to my head and made sense. This one song has been with me ever since:

God of Wonders

Lord of all creation
of Water, Earth and Sky
Heavens are your tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on High

God of Wonders beyond our galaxy
You are Holy, Holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are Holy, Holy

Lord of Heaven and Earth

Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
When i stumble in the darkness,
I will call your name by night

Hallelujah to the Lord of heaven and earth.

and thats when i knew i was a Christian. I have asked for His salvation, and though i am NOT worthy of it, He still gives me it.


con't with the devo:
Your ability to serve God is not based on your past, but on your faithfulness today. If you are faithful with the task God entrusts to you, God will enable you to accomplish it. Don't distinguish between big and small assignments from God.
