afresh!

first of all, this is something to give thanks for: "Lord, thank you so much for the morning rain!!!" wow, along with it, the cool breeze greeted me afresh to start the day. its been close to a month since i make the prayer of psalms 63: 1. all the recent happenings and learnings led me to remember this verse. today's a day after mid- week and i've learnt and came to realise quite a number of things, i'm grateful to God, He didn't pass me by.

during a shepherding time yesterday, as i come to the last point of a teaching, i was so reminded and convicted of the point. prayers and patience go hand in hand. there is always a tension between the reality and the ideality. its essential to align our passion with the reality of the current and God's timing. when we fail to understand God's timing, frustrations set in and choke up our passion. yet, a persevering person is a prayerful person who is also a patient person. can i wait? can i wait and trust God, knowing that He who gave me the conviction and vision will also be the One to help it come to pass? am i patient to wait and pray? will i persevere in my waiting and prayers?

at this, i want to salute our home church pioneers like our pastors, ps Ben, ps Dinah, ps Jeff, ps LO... our worship team, fenny, gerald and geoffery... they have shown what is perseverance and waiting on God's timing :)
