God is Great!
Went to CSS CAW rally last night.. and i must say.. it was a success!
God thru that event has shown me what i felt over the past 1-2 yrs.. that he was preparing CSS for greater thing.. nevermind that it took us a few dacades to move out of NUS.. it was like it's said.. In God's Time...
I have always felt that the last CSS president and the current one are like John Paul II. Y? Cos they are the ones.. that have never really been involved.. and suddenly they are up there leading.. And i felt there would be change... cos.. they have never been of the system.. hence.. would not be "fearful" of change.. they just did what God called them to do.. and boy did they do a gd job. Of cos i can't comment beyond 5 yrs.. but during my journey there.. it was moving from faculty to a CSS as a community.. yes it took 2-3 yrs.. but now that we are ready... Poof! we are moving OUT... 1st event and it was a blast! and i must agree that it should be the way as we are the future of the church and leader in our own right. FCG, CGs.. all these were formed to build the faith of the leaders a piller to rely on.. and my caution to those in there if they happen to read this.. never let that crumble... and always keep God as your foucs.
For my own faith.. i think once again i was tested.I think everyone new and old within CSS at least Arts.. know how i dislike PnW... but hey.. i set thru it all and i think it was pretty interesting.. watching the kids have fun. But i still feel that "praying" for Funds and the use of scriptures to increase the potential of funds is downright disgusting! for Goodness sake.. if u want to quote scripture.. do it properly.. convince me that its in there.. do just do a sweep statement! and i believe in God will provide. so just ask for LOVE offering.. need to PRAY that we will recieve a hundard fold for giving! Pls we are lowering our standards to that of our lost siblings.
Another thing that i have problems with is the praying over thing... when its from the lost siblings.. i would just dismiss it as some are faking it.. of cos i do not disbelieve that there are in fact ppl who would collapse.. However when its happening in our church.. i'm SHOCKED! i really feel that some are faking it.. these are kids for cryin out loud.. i don't deny the power of the HS or GOD but.. not when everyone is dropping like flies!
To tell u the truth.. i was praying very hard at my seat.. for faith to believe.. and trust.. but yet again i felt empty.. and just shocked.. Perhaps in God's Time.. it did take me 2 over yrs before i truely believed in the exsistence of God.. the count started when i first doubted.. so perhaps.. it will take another 2 yrs.. but i did get the slightest hint during homily today at mass... Father was just.. trust .. all u need is a little trust.. of cos.. it has to be for me.. cos 1 i was late for mass.. miss 1st reading and the reponse. And what he said had not much link to the the 2nd reading or gospel.. hence.. i think.. that was meant for me..
So.. for now.. i'll just have to live wif a little trust...
Happy CNY in case i don blog before then.. cheers!
