Thorn among Flowers?

Last night I went to our CG (Heirs of GOD) Quiet Time in Stella Maris Chapel. It was a great experience despite my tiredness & laziness to come to the session in the first place. I was so tempted to not go to the session. But then God's will, we *Me & Nova* decided to go... *p/s: dgn malasnya mengambil towel kan Noves?! ;p* ...We're glad that we chose to go to the session..

After the Quiet Time with JESUS and no other person other than HIM *penegasan to a person, u know who u are!! wink*...We went to Salim for some chit-chatting. Ada masanya kita menikmati saat Hening, Ada masanya kita menikmati saat Happening *giggles*. We were talking about various of things and one of the topic covered *covered lagi dat macam sukatan pelajaran saja* is SPIRITUAL GIFTS.

Then Mirina asked me what are my Spiritual Gifts? Which is according to the test that we did a few weeks ago *I guess*. So I said, it is FAITH followed by EXHORTATION. Wah! what a perfect combination, 'Heavy' she replied, before she ask me with another question...

"HAVE YOU BEEN ACTING IN FAITH LATELY?"

Hmm.. It took me a while before I can actually give her an honest answer. Then I say to her "No. Not really"... They looked suprised. Bah! sudalah my gift is Faith, but me myself are not acting in Faith *hehe*.

I can say "YES!" to the question if I wanted to. The choice is in my hands. But then, that was like lying to myself. I'm facing a lot of personal problems lately; and under certain circumstances, certain preasure level or certain stress level, I tend to forget the word FAITH. I guess that's just my limitations. By meaning, for me FAITH is believing in HIM, believing in what HE is capable of doing, to trust HIM fully and to put HIM first in everything that I do. It is not easy but it is also not impossible.

FAITH doesn't come just like that, there's no short-cuts. It requires growth. I've come a long way to where I am rite' now *I'm not showing my pride, it's just a testimony from me*. To those who have known me for ages, they would've known the years of brokeness & years of fears that I've been through. I have no regrets, & I thank God for turning my fear to faith, for turning my weakness into strength *Tho I am still in the beginning of my 'spiritual growth' hehe* ... For I'm the thorn among the flowers *giggles*... doiii only u know why I giggles... *again u know who u are* ahaks...

p/s to the person *whom u know who u are*: Certain flowers do hv thorns wat??? who knows I might be the roses... u will never know.. Life is like a box of chocolate LOL

~ FOR I AM WEAK THEN I AM STRONG ~

Oppsss.. did I went to far away from the topic?? Ahaks... terkeluar tajuk sekejap... *giggles*...Ok back to the question "HAVE YOU BEEN ACTING IN FAITH LATELY?" ...This short & simple question really work me out me last nite. I made me think as if there's no tommorow *just being dramatic ekeke*. And it makes me realise sumthing. And this morning, when I turn on the radio I heard a song that really touches me in a way... it's by coincidence...

Along life's road
There will be sunshine and rain
Roses and thorns, laughter and pain
And 'cross the miles
You will face mountains so steep
Deserts so long and valleys so deep

Sometimes the Journey's gentle
Sometimes the cold winds blow
But I want you to remember
I want you to know
You will never walk alone

As long as you have faith
Jesus will be right beside you all the way
And you may feel you're far from home
But home is where He is
And He'll be there down every road

You will never walk alone
The path will wind
And you will find wonders and fears
Labors of love and a few falling tears
Across the years
There will be some twists and turns
Mistakes to make and lessons to learn

Sometimes the journey's gentle
Sometimes the cold winds blow
But I want you to remember wherever you may go
Jesus knows your joy, Jesus knows your need
He will go the distance with you faithfully

It is for us to live by Faith, to act by faith. But then again we're just Human Beings. We come with limitations, sometimes we tend to forget, and sometimes we need a pat to make us awake. Like wat the simple question just did (^_^)

*A requested statement by Miss Noves ;))* It's not a simple pat like wat Noves did to me last nite... she enjoyzz patting me & Clemmy everytime there's excitement from Mirina & Jocelyn's testimony, that she felt regarding the missionary trip to Philippines... ada lagi main pass2 pat lagi dat.. sbb tangan dia tia sampai si Clemmy.. Bgs ko pi berguru sama tu Elastic girl from The Incredibles... so u can pat sepa2 saja yg beyond human reach... ui nah!!! LOL

P/S: Clement u got a nickname odi..courtesy of Noves, welcome to the club Haha...
