yup, this is something that i wanna blog abt last wkend.. but was simply too lazy.. harhar.. yeah, read this article in the magazine given during FOP n was impacted.. so juz wanna share it with u ppl, hoping that it will bless you too!!

Committed life emphasizes what we must do for Christ.
Surrendered life embraces what Christ has done for us.

Committed life insists on one's ability to perform
Surrendered life indicates that we can DO NOTHING apart from God

Committed life centres on our Doing.
Surrendered life centres on our Being (Character).

Committed life exalts our competance
Surrendered life examines our character

Committed life centres on operations
Surrendered life centres on obedience

Committed life issues out of good intentions
Surrendered life issues on God's intention.

Are you outwardly committed to the work of God but not inwardly consecrated and surrendered to the will of Christ? Have you substituted a surrendered life for a committed life? Have you unintentionally over-emphasized commitment and under-emphasized consecration?

yes, this is just so true, sometimes we are simply too busy serving God that we forget that God is the actual reason why we started serving.. n for me, this msg struck a chord with me bcoz im in a ministry cg n sometimes, we are just so so busy serving that we will lose our focus.. all the things that we do seems to be more important than God... that should never be the case.. the more we do, the more we MUST draw closer to Him for apart from Him, we can do NOTHING!!! yes, i need to make a conscious effort to make the commitment to have a surrendered life! only when we learn to put God 1st, consecrate ourself before Him, then whatever that we do for Him will bear forth fruits that will remain!! Amen!!

yup yup, had our CCH leaders retreat for the past 2 days.. wow.. it was really fun, especially when we went to pulau ubin to 'save mr poky'.... harhar.. had a good time fellowshipping with all the cch ppl n got to know some of them better.. yeah, went there on tues nite, then didnt slp the whole nite.. haha... then early wed morning we went to ubin le.. cycled for close to 5 hours! yup, a good workout but was super tired.. n we had a really short cg.. yup, though it was a short 2 days, but i really felt closer to all these wonderful angels that God placed in my life! thanks everyone, for being a part of my life! harhar.. yup, thats all for this time, gonna do my visitation later..
