back from bangkok!

hey guys,
just touched down last night. spent about 4 days and 3 nights there and it was a lot of shopping and food. we ate tom yum soup and phad thai and sticky rice till we nearly dropped. hee.
anyway, i'm thankful that i went on the trip coz it really made me disciplined about qt and i've been very blessed so i wanna share about that and some lessons i learnt from exodus about worship.

i felt so loved by God during the trip coz He opened my eyes to see Him working and answering my prayers. minor things like praying that we won't get cheated by cab drivers to more significant things like getting to know the other people on the trip better coz i went with my good friend and her church friends and it was a good learning experience too coz i saw how much they love each other and their friends and flock in church and the thing about how others will know that we are disciples of Christ when we love one another popped up for me very strongly. i enjoyed the quiet mornings spent in prayer and word whilst the others were sleeping too. it was very refreshing and not like most holidays where there's a get out by a certain time thing but a lot more free and easy.

so anyway, i've been reading exodus ever since sun coz i was inspired to read it after the mother's day message and i'm excited about the lessons i'm learning from it. from exodus 10:

25 But Moses said, "You must allow us to have sacrifices and burnt offerings to present to the LORD our God. 26 Our livestock too must go with us; not a hoof is to be left behind. We have to use some of them in worshiping the LORD our God, and until we get there we will not know what we are to use to worship the LORD."

this passage spoke to me coz it's about bringing our all to worship and being ready to sacrifice whatever He calls us to lay down. it's about faith too and having such a close walk with God that we hear immediately what He calls us to lay down. it's that readiness and trust that is essential when we approach God and i was just like wow. i wanna do that and be like that too.

ya la. let's keep praying for the ym too. it's a spiritual work and requires spiritual means.
