~ just the two of us ~

At cell today, our CL gave us each 5 pcs of paper. We were supposed to write down what do we want to see ourselves achieve in this lifetime. It was a little difficult for me to write down.. but here they are anyway, in no particular order:

1) To be a strong woman in the Lord
2) To be able to grow old "gracefully" with Jason and the kids (if any)
3) To be able to do my very best in whatever place that He has put me in. (e.g. career? family - wife, mother, daughter, etc..)
4) To be able to bring my parents for a European tour when they retire
5) To be surrounded by good friends all the time

We were then told to give up one and left with four... till slowly it reaches up till only one that you can hold in your hand. Guess which was the first to go and last remaining one?

The whole game was mainly to relate on the cost of following Jesus. What are the things we need to die ourselves to? (ref. Luke 9).

- desire for comfort and ease
- personal goals and ambitions
- expectations of others
- fear of the unknown
- others?

Truly, as God's chosen people, we indeed have a high calling!
"And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" Esther 4:14b.

Today, more than ever, God is looking for workers to send into His harvest field. How will YOU respond?
