yo cg! (=
time to liven up this blog again!!!!! yoohooo!! (:
hahaa anyways! I wanna share something with you guys!
today i was on the longlong bus ride home. and i've been thinking of our cg outing this saturday for like.. 24/7! so.. I was thinking about it again! A lot of things were going through my mind...
like... will our friends enjoy themselves? will they be open? what if they think we're WEIRD? what if they don't wanna come back again? What if we can't answer questions they have? what if...
ALL THE WHAT IF'S!!
Well, God stirred me to pray. right then. in the bus. So I did.. And.. haha i actually SPOKE them out. (but not shout duhh hehe ) and I kept praying. praying praying praying. and! as I prayed, God started revealing so many things to me! One of the key things that made an impact on me was that, it is not the EVENT that saves people. it's the GOD behind the event.
Well, i've always been worried about how our friends would respond and if we're doing enough. I keep worrying that we're not catering to their interests and all! But then, when God told me that line again, it got me back onto track! It's not about ALL the things we plan. everything we plan can just go down the drain, everything can screw, but God will still be there.
It's NOT the elaborate programmes and speeches and skits and songs ... etc that will attract people to the gospel.
It's NOT the cool venue and the food, or even the people that would attract people to christianity.
It's ALL ABOUT GOD.
No matter what- elaborate christmas outreach/ captain's ball outreach.... or even a simple cg outing, WE STILL SERVE THE SAME FAITHFUL GOD. And He can touch people through ANY event, ANY opportunity. The chances that our friends will accept is not dependent on the programme/ event. it's all about God.
God.
He is amazing. Does He need an event to touch people?
YEAH!!! SO!!! I really really believe that God can do amazing things in our cg outing!! ((= It;s not events that converts people.
It's God. And, everytime there's an outreach or cg outing, i take a LONG time to evaluate. HMMM is it better to invite friends to an outreach or would a cg outing do??? and now, looking back, THAT itself is not grasping the opportunity!!!
We don't need an outreach to evangelise. We can do it everytime, everyday. God doesn't need an outreach to touch people's lives. He can and DOES do it everytime, everyday.
((((=
our friends (the world) need God. without Him, what are they running for? they run after grades, acceptance, love, friendship, money, fame....
what lasts?
at the end of time, none of them would hold on! what are they left with? ---nothing---
THEIR LIVES ARE LIKE A DOUGHNUT!! they need Jesus to fill up THAT hole! emptiness? lost?
WE'RE FULL. they need to know God! Jesus has already died for them; do they know that God who died for ALL their sins; that God who took their punishment; that God whom we can depend on anytime anywhere; that God that loves us more than anyone/anything; that God who lasts for eternity???????
all God needs is a heart from us, to be willing to say, "use me"and He can raise us up to be women of faith and strong witnesses for Him.! (:
that's what God told me today... and I thank God for that opportunity to be with Him, connect with Him (:
GOD IS FAITHFUL YOU GUYS! WHOOO!! (:
LET'S HAVE AN EXPECTANT HEART FOR OUR CG OUTING! EXPECT AMAZING THINGS FROM GOD!! COS WE BELIEVE IN A GOD OF MIRACLES!!! ((((=
whoooooooooooooo yay!

The world can be reached. Can you see it? Will you be a part of it?
Fear often holds us back. What people think about us often holds us back. But Jesus said,"How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" What matters more? What they think or what He thinks? What matters more? What they think or where they spend eternity in?
Hi CG(: I realised that I haven't been blogging in this blog in AGES. Here's me praying that we'll all strive to achieve our vision thingy we wrote on Saturday. GO CG!
