Message for me on my birthday
Wow.. I am 40 years old. Kinda hard to accept. Wish to slow it down. It is never fun. It was fun when you reach 21. The rights and freedom. But at 40, it means slowing down, thinning of hair, forehead getting higher and then the every increasing waistline!!
Sunday message was a timely reminder to me. Afterall, Moses wisely reminded all of us 'So teach us to number our days, that we may apply hearts unto wisdom' Psalm 90:12. My days are limited. My workings years are probably anoth 20 to 27 years? My children are growing older and one day, they will leave the nest.
Sunday's message by pastor was 'Follow Me'. The Call issued by Christ. A high calling that is the Most Important Live changing call. It takes careful consideration and complete commitment. As I sat there listening, I kept asking God, what do I need to give up in order to response to the Call? What do I need to take up when I heed the call?
The pastor talked responding the call to full time ministry. The video of someone in his 40s shared how he found heard God's calling to ministry stirred my heart.
Mosese switched career at the turn of each 40 years. At 40, he left prince-hood to be shepherd and at 80, he stopped leading sheeps and started leading people, rather a nation.
Me? It no longer a secret, I will resume my Vice-Principalship on 17 Dec this year. I like to see myself a shepherd too. No longer just leading students but teachers too. To where? To where they are called to - their potential. I am not sure how the Lord will lead me next. Which school will I be? I know just like me past postings, it will be where He has prepared. It will be where He wants me to be a blessing. I pray I will not fail His calling and plan.
Getting National Day Commendation Award was something I did not expect. God affirmed me. I need to depend on Him to serve His calling.
I am thankful for His leading.
Lord, I submit myself to your Lordship. Amen.
