Walking into ministries

Thanks for the free response ya'll have given to my last post. 

believe it or not, it helped a lot. (honest) 

I guess sleeping helps a lot too. xD

well, i'm still praying about it and yeap! 

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Jeremiah 29:11

-keeping this in mind :)

Well for today. this is what i've got:

One of my new year resolution is to start serving in whichever ministries God'd called me to.
and thinking back, even before i have this new year resolution, Last year December, out of no where, I thought of helping out in the kids Sunday School and so I asked my friend if i can attend to observe for once.
The arrangement was somehow postponed to last week Jan16 and when i got home, i asked God once again and guess what was that day's devotion?
"a Child's potential"  -our daily bread.org


“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Prov. 22:6)


and straight after i do my devotion, my friend called to ask if i'm really interested in helping out in the kids sunday school, telling me that it's a commitment and asking what i think about it.
I agreed.
Ta~Daa!
and here it is, the worker application and commitment form to serve in the church.
i didn't know that agreeing to help in the kids ministry means automatically being in the choir too?
lol. and that means my Sunday just turned from 9-11am to 9-2pm 
(9-11am English main service, 11-1pm kids Sunday school in Mandarin service, 1-2pm choir practice)
of course, I reminded myself that serving is not a bed of roses. 
I haven't even started officially, my mind is reminding me of the potential troubles coming in my way. ha!
but as long as it's God's will. Here I am!


my friend just shared about how taxing serving might be sometimes, but it's a privilege to be able to have the opportunity to serve in this Mandarin Church which we can hardly get in the English main service. (agree totally) and of course, 
'the field is plenty but the workers are few'


I can't believe it all happened so soon, i had just drafted my new year resolution few weeks ago and here it is, 
it's like God's saying "you asked for it? there you go!"
Lol. of course He's saying in a nicer way. 
well, i foresee a super busy and packed semester ahead. 
once again, i've learnt to pray before i make every decision and to trust as I continue my journey :)
