ok...so its been ages since i've updated...dunno y, well basically no time, but hey! ive learnt new things and hopefully i can share what ive learnt with u and it will help. ok, so lets get started.

so, in 2006 i recieved a word saying obedience is what the Lord desires, not sacrifice. ill be building on this in this entry because it took me almost a year to figure it all out. in the past, when i just started developing a relationship with Christ, the thought that i had in my head was that God looks for those that are willing to give their all even if it means dropping everything. this is true! BUT thats not what its all about. c i grew up in Uganda because my parents were sent there over 20 years ago as missionaries. over time my dad grew to love the place and we ended up staying there because he started his business over there, so i never had 'church friends' or a youth fellowship at all. so when i move to Singapore in 2004, it wasnt exactly easy for me, but the church was a great support to me and some of the friends i made then have become my best friends now. anyway...all this links in because growing up overseas, i never had a real relationship with God therefore, i didnt know what he wanted me to do or to be like, so i started making "sacrifices" for different things and always found a way to link it to serving God.

In the meantime, my relationship with my mom was deteriorating very quickly. i was becoming rebellious and i eventually started living a double life, one to please the Church community, and one at home. then the word came. and slowly it was revealed to me that thats not what its all about.

c the point of me saying all this is that we can sacrifice averything we have, money, time, friends...everything that we see as important and simply put a label on it saying.."Lord all this I give to you, let your will be done" and yes! its what we should be doing, but if we, as the children of God, dont listen to him and obey him, then all our 'sacrifices' mean nothing, yes you may see blessings in you life...and thats because giving is a way of God, but it doesnt mean ur pleasing Him. i dnt want u all 2 get tired...so ill cut it short for now...think about it...r u being obedient...to ur parents, elders, GOD?? or r u sacrificing thing and labeling them?

God bless.
