Ouch my heart has been pierced through by the double-edged sword.
ouch.
today at sermon we learnt about resolving conflicts.
with cross reference from Nehemiah 5.
1) be specific.
2) be direct.
3) practise accountability to your leaders/shepherds.
I have to resolve my conflicts.
so I shall start with resolving conflicts between me and my cg mates.
argh it hurts to do so.
I don't dare to speak up.
I don't want to open my golden mouth and talk frank.
I don't want to do it.
I really don't want to do it.
like what if the people I talk to take offense?
maybe if I just shut up, things will go on normally like before.
okay fine no I must do it, if not I will implode/explode.
okay go cherisse.
be obedient to the word of God.
just do it.
well I have to resolve my conflicts with cg mates whom I think they:
- misunderstand my emotions/actions
- get the wrong message from me
must do it soon.
cos if the cg is divided, if the cg is not united, we'll never grow, cos we can't even stand.
what more walk.
shepherd if you're reading this, expect to hear from me soon.
I'm gonna account to you(:
any of my cg mates/unit mates/district mates reading this, you are my witness that I will resolve my conflicts(:
soon.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6
This was the 'exam verse' for EB2 last year.
one year has past.
wow.
and we have grown from like less than 10 to 20+.
and we will continue to grow(:
"I am physically and mentally drained from mugging, I can't cram anything more into my head!" - cherisse"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." - Isaiah 40:31"I am super nervous. What if I don't understand the questions? What if I have a mental block? What if I can't finish the paper?" - cherisse"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." -John 14:27
