Let's Dance...
|
Last Sunday, Beatrice (our dearest Assistant Chief Usher who oversees JW usher groups, in case you dunno) was sharing to the SLs and MTLs about Moses and how everytime Moses felt frustrated by his stiff-necked congregation, he would withdraw himself to meet the Lord and refresh himself. And in God, he found renewed strength again and again... again and again... again and again...
The Word spoke powerfully to me and convicted me. During the worship, I sensed God say to me...
It puzzled me but after giving it some thought, it dawned upon me that life is really like a dance... and there is a tempo to this Dance of life... and I thought I knew and understood it very well... And I've tried to dance this Dance very well... I danced to the best of my abilities and my understanding and I thought I was becoming good at it... until God beckoned to me and showed me His version of the Dance...
In that instance, I suddenly understood how little I knew and how little of the Dance I have mastered... the Dance is meant to be a couple dance, not a solo dance... The Dance is to be danced at a tempo I cannot hope to master or grasp very well... And in the Dance, should I try to take the lead in this couple dance, the Dance inevitably becomes uncoordinated and messed up... My moves will become off-beat and awkward... But whenever I let God take the lead in this Dance and follow His movement and tempo, the resultant Dance is inescapably beautiful and elegant...
In this Dance of life, God does the choreography; He leads the dance; He dictates the tempo and He executes the hard moves... Turn to God and find rest in His presence... It is when I try to do everything by myself that I burn myself out... I shall learn to lean on God's strength and directions... Just as Moses did! Although Moses was a very old man when he led Israel out of Egypt, he always had the rigour of a youth because in God, he found the source of everlasting life and strength...
In this Dance of life, it is natural to feel frustrated and disappointed if we had always danced solo or with the wrong partner(s)... Because the Dance was not meant to be danced that way! We cannot hope for the best when we settle for the worse. I shall turn to God and find a new beginning in Him... Although Moses was a criminal with a murderous past, he became the greatest prophet ever to deliver Israel, because in God, he found purpose, vision and hope for the future...
In this Dance of Life, we will be venturing into the unknown... Because every person is different and uniquely shaped by God, so nobody can tell you what your Dance will be like. However, God knows how your Dance is meant to be like and He knows how it will turn out to be... And He assures that His seed in us is imperishable and will bear good fruits! and that He will finish the good work He has started in us! I shall turn to God and be of good courage... Because if God is leading my Dance, what can go wrong? I shall go forth in faith! And dance! and dance! and dance! Although Moses was a mere shepherd, but in his meekness and humility, he became a powerful prophet who performed the most spectacular miracles, because he submitted whatever little that was in his hands (a shepherd's rod) into God's hands... and God turned it into a tool for greatness which left an everlasting legacy!
Moses humbled himself and let God lead in his Dance of life, and God turned the Dance into a masterpiece that we still marvel today... I shall let God take the lead in my own dance. and I can't wait to see how the dance turns out! God is inviting you today to dance with Him... won't you let Him take the lead? Let us all dance this Dance of Life with God...

FOP Logis Team Meeting #1
|
This year, our boss - Adeline, has explicitly expressed her desire to have an All-JW Logis Team for FOP and Anniversary weekend! What an honour! Currently, the team consists of 6 LPs and understudies that were handpicked and approved by Adeline.
And on 15 Jun (Monday) the team met up at Raffles City Shokudo to fellowship, dine and plan for the big event. Although almost everyone present had little to zero experience doing FOP, but everyone of them contributed brightly and asked intelligent questions.
Currently, the team consists of JJ, CK, Thomas, Leticia, Xin Yi, Kenrus. Very soon, we will be adding another 3 to the team. May we bring God glory and make our leaders proud!Expo Shifting Experience
|
Hi Guys,
Hopefully my entry will not be the last to end this blogspot XD
Well due to tiredness, I'm not able to share my Expo Shifting experience on time....
I'm very glad to be chosen in the shifting team as I always wanted to try on new things in Logistic. This opportunity gave me the chance to
learn from Senior Expo personnel.
We only had 2 meetings in total. The first meeting various roles and details of what-to-do were already given few days before the meeting. Basically it shortens the meeting duration and enquiries can be answer instead of spending more time to think questions on 'what more can I do'.
I'm sorry to my team members because I've asked a lot of questions throughout the meeting. Hahaha…& thank God none of them turn over the table LOL
Next we discussed on things to buy/ to top up/ man power and how long is required for packing and shifting. By end of the meeting, everyone has at least 1 question to solve or do some research. I believe almost all decision can be made on the spot was due to information was gathered & brought into the 2nd meeting.
I was In-Charge of welfare and help out in other area. Eventually I have the opportunity helping with Simon in Cupboard. I think what Simon In-Charge is the main meat of the dish. Its about, inventory = admin. Be precise and double check. During the shifting, be alert where your staff goes to and track them every now and then.
The Shift won't succeed without the help of volunteer LPs!!! Thank You~~!!
From here I've realized when everyone comes prepare with questions which they know or don't, it helps the team to get prepare. Overall know what to be done on the day. It's a bonus when there is someone who's the experience but it's a treat when everyone is fighting together in the same team. :D

Updates on Work
|
Have started work for 2 weeks already and I am happy... I think after slacking for one whole year (including the time spent in army), one grows to appreciate the pleasure of work.
My team leader and colleagues have been very loving and patient in teaching me the ropes and initiating me into the firm... The firm has an excellent structure and system in place - everyone has defined roles and responsibilities and is non-exploitative of one another. The structure also helps very much to prepare newcomers to familiarise themselves with the firm. The hierarchy of the organization is very flat - everyone treats one another with respect and nobody has airs (i think I am the most "dao" person around).
Above all else, the firm has a wide and extensive portfolio of projects covering various scale and typologies. I love it! I am slowly being exposed to the "drudgery" that my peers have been complaining about, but well, I remain thankful that I got the job.
Beautiful morningSomething I got to see when I decided to go to office early to check email and start work early...
a snapshot - my office
the Water Cycle at One Raffles Link (taken with spoilt digi cam, so...)A favourite sight I look forward to seeing every morning I go to work... If there is one "Heroes" ability I would like to get, it would be Sylar's Intuitive Aptitude - I love to see how every single thing work and come together... In many ways, I share Sylar's endless hunger to know and understand more... LOL... I'm talking geekish here... Pardon me =P
Will try to find time to write about the 1-year testimony I shared with Wanyun's cell group and also BLTC - in which I have been involved over the past month or so...
