Michelle's FIRST Post

Hey people....

HAH! Decided to change my channel of blogging. Well, that does not mean that I don't blog back at my own personal blog. I hope school is fine for everyone. Any trouble?? HAH! I am having my common test real soon. Anyway, I have been unlucky this whole week and I don't know why. First, I "sprained" my wrist on Monday. Then, I hurt my ankle on Thursday. I think I should change the topic.

This Saturday is the first service after multiplication. F.U.E.L. starts at 3. I have to fly down from school to church. School ends at 2.30 for me, at times it may be earlier. I guess everyone would feel weird as there will lesser people on Saturday.

Well, but there is this one incident that I really wanna share. After HPMG 060708 last sunday, and during my TAWG , God showed me what it would be like in Saturday service. He also told me that I should start stepping out of my comfort zone. God has been encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone. I have been saying that I will do it but I didn't. I regretted not doing so.

At first, I had no idea what to do after multiplication. I didn't know what I should do. Sit there and wait for a miracle to happen? Or start my mission that God has given to me a few months back? I asked God what I should do. I am reluctant to do what God has prepared for me. Just by looking at my class, I have already given up. My class is so hopeless. I see no point in reaching out to them.

Yes, You would have asked me to pray.
And OF COURSE I do pray.
I pray for them day in day out.
But I don't see anything happening.
I prayed each time before i talk to them.
But when I talked about church or about God , they would ask me to shut up.

None of them will or is willing to give me time to talk to them. I guess everyone would have this feeling. But some will choose to give up and some will persevere. And if you would to ask me what is my choice. My mind is blank on what to do. But what can I do? I'm taught to persevere and not give up. So all I can do is to pray and believe that something will happen.

I find some things quite strange. We will think of what to pray to God but we don't even have to think of what to say to our friends. Well my cousin asked me this question. But it is really quite true. When people pray, some will tend to think of what to say and what words to use. But when we are with our friends we can just talk about anything. Why can't people have this kind of attitude all the time? Can people just treat God as one of friends when they pray? Can we not have an awkward feeling when we pray to God? What's the use of feeling awkward? Let's just believe in God and say with our mouths that "YES God, I believe in you".

Well I am posting this because the Christians in my class say that they believe in God but in reality they don't. In the recent prayer meeting we had, my classmate asked this "Why are we asked to spend time with God, and why can't we just spend time with God when we are in church. Well , I mean 2 hours sitting in the service hall is more than enough time spending with God , isn't it? Why must we still find time to spend with God some other days. Must we even spend time with God even though we are very tired after a long day in school and after all those homework?". My respond is "WHAT?!?! you are a christian and you are asking us this question?"

What will your respond be if you were in the same situation? I believe your reaction will be the same as mine. So my answer to her was "Spending time with God should be a commitment in your life. If you ask me why should we do it everyday, let me give you a illustration. If you just met this person, wouldn't you spend time with him/her just to know him better? It is the same with God. In order to know him better, you need to do the same by spending quality time with Him. You wouldn't want your relationship to always be the same and never change right? Is God the number one in your life? Since God is your number one, why do you have to ask me this question in the first place?"

That's my answer.

I think i shall end my post with a verse.

MARK 9:23 - Everything is possible for him who believes.
