My right arm is still having some pain and I suspect it was from the bus accident two Thursdays ago. The pain sometimes stretches to the shoulder area. It was alright the past few days but this morning, the sore came back.
I woke up this morning with a heavy heart too. I guess I am still reflecting on what God spoke to me during the Fusion Rally. There are also some other thoughts which I am still seeking God to guide me.
Anyway, this morning's sermon by Rev. Lai Kai Ming was like a follow-up to what I heard from the Lord last night and I praise Him for that. The five steps he mentioned to a Spirit-filled life are:-
1) Confess my sins (An attitude towards repentence);
2) Yield (Surrender) to the Lord (An act of obedience and submission);
3) Ask (An act of faith);
4) Give thanks (An act of appreciation);
5) Expect great things to happen (An act of anticipation).
During the time when the Worship Leader was leading the songs, "Shepherd Of My Soul" and "Empower Me," I basically followed the five steps and gave to God what was burdening my heart. It felt good to release them before His throne of grace and I pray the Lord will continue to teach and mould me to be the kind of person He wants me to be.
I am at home now. I was planning to go for a run but looking at the rain, I doubt I can now. I was hoping to talk to God while I exercise, I guess I have to change my plan. There are just so many things to say to Him today. Maybe later tonight if the rain stops, I will go for a jog.
Today feels very sombre but I know the sun will shine again in Singapore and in my life. Guess sometimes it is good to experience some dark and gloomy moments so that I can appreciate the light which I sometimes take for granted.
I shall stop here. Celebrating grandma's birthday later. I hope she would be happy with what I have planned for her. She has been a great and caring granny all these years of my life and I hope she will like the place I am bringing her to. I do not know why but I feel there are not many years left for my family and I to celebrate mama's birthday. :( I hope God would prove me wrong because I do not wish to lose her though I know I will have to in His time. Well, this is part and parcel of God's plan.
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5
