God works in mysterious way
Had a chance to meet up my youth from The Net Gen after almost a year of break during the camp. Glad to see them well and kicking. The Chinese saying "Grown girl 18 change" is really true. Some just look more lady than girl now. :-) Really miss them.
I did enjoy the teaching. I hope it is for them. Was much encouraged by some who gave me the eye contact and asked questions or honest comment. One of them told me she is glad to see me. Warm my heart.
It was quite difficult to prepare the lesson. I wasn't really clear what the aim was and got the material less then a week. In fact, up till I was about to teach, I wasn't even sure what I want to leave out and what to keep. I wasn't confident. But lack of confidence is good, it forced me to trust Him. I stepped into the teaching simply by faith, trusting that He will lead me as I sense from my interaction with the youth and as I teach. But what was clear was that I got to pray that God will speak to them and transform their hearts. That they will be follower of Christ. Spiritual change must come from the Holy Spirit.
One sign that He was leading was my last minute inclusion of 'dark night' in the part of Discipline of Solitude. Dark night refers to period of time where God seems to be silent, even during worship etc. Putting it into my notes and I almost forgot to mention it but somehow, during the lesson, God reminded me. Later one guy asked how long it will last. I suppose it was relevant to him. Another girl asked my more on a personal level. (Just to let you know, if you are reading, I am praying for you). I know God has used the lesson to work in some hearts. Glory be to God. Amen!
Servanthood is to do the best and yet depending on Him to use it for His purpose.
Thank God, I have a chance to serve.
