After the Trip

Back in Brisbane on Sunday afternoon(so glad!!!)..there's no place like home..and felt so tired that I left the service halfway and took a 2hrs nap!

So many things happened during the trip, and how God was really with us throughout the whole trip. He works out His purpose in us as a team, and also individually. It was such an amazing God-encounter moment.
Being out there, stepping out in faith, really challenge all 7 of us, to put away our fears, and to just share the gospel. Wasnt easy, as we felt there is so much hardness in people's heart.

I witness how as we step out in obedience and faith, His presence is always with us. God really proven His words and He shows Himself faithful to His promises.
As He commanded us to "GO"...He will be with us. And my eyes saw how He encourages us, how He speaks to us, and provided us with all that we need. And He works despite our failures, our own plans and goals, and that really opened my eyes to see how God is really God. Nothing can change nor interfere with His plans. His purpose will prevail, no matter what!
And my heart cries out.."Lord, I want to be a part of that! I want to be included in Your plan for redemption and restoration of this generation. I want to play my part in the place that You've prepared me to be."
This trip has been a great encouragement and a revelation of Himself, that in whatever things, beyond time and any limitation, I know He is greater than all things. He is greater than myself, my weaknesses, my failures, my hopes and dreams....and that gives me Hope, to anchor my life upon His promises, and to trust upon His goodness.

(Romans 4:18)
"Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed........"

I felt His presence closer than before, and He revealed more of Himself, that I may begin to look more and more to Him, till everything about me fades slowly in the light of who He is. He help me to face my struggles by filling me with greater Hope of Himself, that I would no longer try by my own strength to fix things, but to allow Him to take over. He taught me what it means to cast all my cares to Him, and to take upon His yoke, that's easy and not burdensome.
He intended a life that would lean and rest upon His love and goodness, to enjoy a close fellowship with the Father, and transformed to be like the Son.

Another step, another season, another lesson
Brings me...
A little closer, a little further, a little higher
Keep on following, walking and aiming
Always obey, trust and hope
To be more like Him, to find myself in Him, and be found in Him.
