Trackers so far...
Woah, time really flies! Now it's the end of Trackers Lectures Phase and into Mission Phase we go!! I'm so eggcited for my first mission trip to Cambodia tomorrow!!!!! Can't contain my excitement to seeing how God is going to move the people there :) yayyyy!
But the first one and a half mint of Trackers had its ups and downs for me, my group had many problems, first with the leader not doin his job properly and having attitude problems. It was resolved when we changed leader after countless attempts to counsel and change the way that dude thought but it's all part of the learning process for him ad the rest of us as well. Just a few days ago, my group had another problem! This time, it was so upsetting and painful for me! It was the us against our mentors in some sense...the group felt that the mentors were not encouraging and it seemed as though they didn't want to get to know us better so the vocal people of my group confronted my mentors during lunch that day...I was in shock and just quietly ate my lunch, when it started I teared up a little till further into the confrontation did I start to cry..,
After that, we just silently walked back to the church. I sat with the 2 other girls in my group outside and we just talked till we ended up crying again...my mentor came over and asked us if we wanted her to go collet the logistics for the trip and I nodded my head but the tone she said it in was so hurting, I could sense the disappointment in her...I cried even harder after that.
And the lecture after lunch just had to be on how to be a healthy team! It was so apt for our situation!!!! I couldn't stop crying the whole day cause it just hurt me so much to see my group in such a situation, a few days before our trip...I even went home to cry some more...
The next day we had out individual talk with the pastor in charge to give out stand on this, I was obviously in the fence...if not I wouldn't have cried so much! So after that was the whole group meeting with the pastor in charge to thrash things out. And I'm glad things were thrashed out and the group is getting along again.
This whole situation had taught me how much we need to depend on God, especially in times as such. Truly when we had surrendered this whole crisis to God and He takes full control, things will work out when there seems to be no way in our human eyes...and it was a reminder for my group to draw back to God since we hadn't been focusing on God ever since the leader problem started. I am just amazed and touched by God and how when we focus on Him, everything else falls into place perfectly! Thank God that this timely lesson happened before the mission trip! Now I'm ready for the trip and see how God is going to touch the nation through my team!!
Let's gooooo!!!
