honor's reward

when i felt i had a word from God and spurred the team to go to hong kong, i thought it was worth it since each of us were so blessed and we received so much and we had such a good time that i thought it was already more than enough as a reward.

last nite at leadership retreat, pastor set the night to honor the leaders and he started with the first person that he wants to honor and it would be a suprise to the person. then he called me out!

i was really surprised. i didnt know.
i didnt expected it because i thought the honor was to those who led in lg and progressed so i'm definitely not in it because i dont lead life group! hahhaa...

he started to share about how i was a good help in the office and managing everything and serving them. he then mentioned about how, in faith, i spurred the dance team to the next level in the productions and even bringing the team to hong kong and seeing the team coming to different levels.

later, pastor shawn took the mic and he also honored a few ppl from the ecfd team and the last person he honored was nailin. he shared about how nailin stretched herself so much this year and each obstacle, each streetching time, she took the challenged and did not give up or quit. this had been her most-stretched-year and she did not quit.

i was thinkin to myself this morning. there were only two dance leaders in the midst and both of us were honored partly because of how we brought the team to the next level and to hong kong. the honor's reward did not end in hong kong but to those who believe in God, trusted Him, obeyed Him, it is still remembered in God's mind. i was tremendously encouraged.

how is it possible that i ran for the past 9 months and not come to discouragements at times?
i was going through a season where i shared with PC, i felt everything that i did seem to be wrong. wrong thing to do. wrong timing to do it. wrong place to do it. i was so beating myself up and so wanted to do less so do less wrong thing.

last nite's honor was a big encouragements to me. i am spurred so i can spurred others on in this new year coming. the race has not ended. my time is not up yet.

on top of that, there was a conspiracy going on since the first mornin i arrived.
throughout the two and a half days, i kept receiving surprises and notes and encouragements - which i suspect is from my d-gals! hahah... from macdonald's breakfast (which i really like), to cards, notes, box of sweets, sour stick, kit kat, lunches and dinners brought to me... hahah..... i was treated by angels... thanks to each of you!

2009 PLAN:
THERE'S GONNA BE A GREATER MANIFESTATION OF GOD'S PRESENCE.
GREATER THINGS HAD YET TO BE DONE...
