i've been attending the SERVE program for three weeks already. and there are so many things that i want to thank God for. i thank God that i've got great friends in my group. i immediately felt welcomed so that i did not feel as lonely as i thought i would (because im the only one from WAC who is joining this program). for giving me this opportunity to learn more about His word. for the Word that He has already given me, etc...

on the first day of SERVE, our mentor read out a verse from philippians 1:6:'.. being content of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus'. at that time, this verse struck me alot like God is trying to give me an encouragement. i figured out that despite all my insecurities about being part of the youth leaders, God would indeed finish His good work through me and since He has placed me there, i should not worry too much about what i can do. although i still feel uneasy, i trust that God has a plan, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, His understanding no one can fathom.

in addition, one of the reasons why i quit my job to focus on SERVE is beacuse this verse spoke very powerfully to me: 'o you of little faith? so do not worry, saying,' what shall we eat?' or ' what shall we wear?' for the pagans run after these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. but seek first his kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.' matthew 6:31-34

during this period of time, i hope that i can draw closer to God and i will learn more about His word. in addition, i hope that i can be more sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and to focus more on God, even in the little things in life.
