Leadership.

I had a lot of fun at Drivers today.

In retrospect, i don't think i've done a good job in leadership.

Honestly, this is not a pursuit for perfection. As i'm reflecting upon it, there are so many things i could have done differently, which would have resulted in a totally different outcome.

I would love to share the errors i made. But then, that would feed the perfectionist instinct of mine.

You need to read Rory Noland's the Heart of the Artist: Excellence vs Perfectionism to understand what i'm talking about.

Basically, God spoke to me really clearly about it.

-------------------------------------

I realised that although rhord often talks about supporting the vision and submitting to the authority God has placed under you to the leaders, we don't really translate that to the rest. We just know it and we see it. But we don't say it much, at least i don't.

Let's start passing the batons... just been reading 2 kings, so feel that passing to the next generation is necessary.

Worship Team
rhord makes it a point to always tell us that when it comes to the worship team, we are to submit to Jay and Vicky's authority. In the same way, rhord would tell us that he submits to their authority too. But when he has to speak to them as their pastor, then it would be the other way around. We need to trust that authority is from God, not man. Even our bosses were given authority over us by God. We need to trust the church leaders have heard from God and be willing to submit to their authority and support their vision. We may question, but whatever we do, lets try to support leaders!!!

I love this song. The acoustic guitar part is super nice! They are my new fav band! I have all their album songs already. WOAH! the guys have crazy range...

Weeding out...

It has been tough these 2 weeks. It's just emotionally draining.

I didn't want to hear from God the first week. I was too stubborn. Then, the next week, God hit me left, right, centre with everything.

Well, we learn from our mistakes, and grow from the experiences.

I felt compelled to dig deep into my heart... Deep into the hurts... the hurts that have shaped me.

Today is a tiring and depressing day. I shall go to sleep. Tmr will be a better day.

Disclaimer:

1) I realised all the photos in my previous post are all guys. I figured out why. it's cos guys are ok with having their unglam /candid pictures published. And girls are not.

Most girls are self-conscious, so in photos, they have their signature pose and smile and that's it. You don't need to show any more photos.

So please, do not think i'm desperate or sth. I honestly do not see the urgency to get attached. It's all in God's timing.

But i'd appreciate if people around me stop announcing my age to the whole world... It's starting to annoy me when people tell others my age just to show how young they are!

I swear, one more deliberate mention of my age just to make fun of me or to make fun of the age contrast between someone else and me... i will GIVE IT to the person.
