A letter from Sella

How amazing! I received a letter from Sella!

I came home, saw a Compassion envelope on my table, opened it and hoping it's not a random letter from the organisation... TADAH! it was Sella writing to me!

She said the fighting is over in Kenya and things are peaceful now... Praise God!

And I'm just super amused, she sent me her "report card"...
Term 1 : 219 out of 250
Term 2: 287 out of 300

Oh my gosh! She's good in Maths! like me! (Maths is one of my best subjects)
And her favourite colour is green! How cool is that?

And she wants to be a doctor when she grows up!

I'm happy, just happy she's writing to me to say she's doing good...

Praise God!

A Prayer for Sella

At Hillsong Conference last year, I signed up with Compassion and sponsored a Kenyan girl, her name is Sella.

I attended mass today and I sat beside this African girl, I think she's about Sella's age, and I thought about Sella. I haven't heard from her for about 5months? I'm quite worried actually. I don't know why... should I even be worried?

Anyway, it was quite funny. She was so fidgetive, she kept prancing up and down, elbowed me, accidentally kicked me... aiyor all over the place! I couldn't concentrate for a while. And each time she accidentally kicked or elbowed me, she would look at me sheepishly... and she kept staring at the henna on my hand! Oh i just got a henna on my right hand yesterday...

So it was time for the "Our Father"... So she stretched out her hands... and I stretched out mine...

She was looking at me.

I looked back at her.

And I held her hand.

She smiled back at me.

And I closed my eyes, felt this overwhelming sense of the Holy Spirit and prayed for her.

And for Sella.


Father Lord,

I pray this prayer of protection over Sella and her family. I don't know how she is now, but I trust that You are taking care of her. And I trust that You will meet her every need. Speak into her heart and keep her close to You, that she'll never lose faith and hope in You. I don't know if the situation in Kenya has improved, but I know You will take care of Your people. I ask for Your mercy over the nation.

I love her, and I know You love her even more.

Because You died for her.

Amen!

it's all about You, it's not about me

Just got back from Amp Fri, 1st session after YI... man! The room was packed! I feel a bit taken aback like wooooowww... These are the people we've been praying for to come! And now they're really coming!

And this is what I took home with me, "It's all about You, it's not about me."

I just have to make sure I take care of His business, it's not what I want, it's what He has intended for me to complete... really, I say that all the time but it has taken a whole new meaning for me.

I love God too much to disobey Him, put it this way.

Praise God!

Obedience all over again...

God is the love of my life... He really is!
At this point, I really just need to say that I love God so much... And I know He loves me back more intensely than I can ever imagine!

I just finished this conversation with Thelms, was just sharing with her about the whole randomness in me now... i feel random, i feel a lot of thoughts going through my mind, i feel like i really need to pray and just seek God...

And at one point, I was so glad that I have a friend like her to rant at and pour out all my feelings to! haha! praise the Lord!

And she reminded me that I needed to be obedient... yes obedience! it suddenly hit me again! that's what God wants of me! That is His will for me and I'm going to pray for the grace and strength to do what He called me to do...

Ok i'm done, i'm going to run into His loving arms now!


Good Bye World!


Oh and did I say YISS was just so filled with His presence? Like i still feel it now? He's been so faithful and I just can't help but stand in awe of Him! He's opened my eyes to a whole new perspective of who He really is and how great He is!
