From October 8, worship service

I realized that it is really impossible to live a truly fruitful Christian life without a daily communion with God. It's not so much because God witholds from blessing, but because without a close walk with God, you forget altogether that you are meant to bear fruit.

In my more spiritual moments, I do remember that I have a mission to fulfill. Out from that spiritual moment, however, I snap out of my realizations, and immediately gets lost in the busyness of life. Whenever I'm in worship, and can feel God's spirit within, I remind myself to not simply get into the habit of having an emotional experience. What's more important is how I apply God's message to my life "outside" the walls of the worship service. I sometimes doubt that my Christianity can permeate through every aspect of my life.

Listening to what Paris shared during worship, I realized that the following are my strengths and weaknesses:

Strengths: Writing, Marketing, Professional Skills
Weakness: Building friendship w/ people I work with.

The gift that God supplies =strength that God supplies. Don't be insecure when someone else is better than me in other areas. Ask God to reveal what my your gift is.

Realizations:

I am not a counselor, I'm a writer, a conceptualizer, an initiator, an organizer. I am a teacher, not a counselor. I can thrive with a few close friends who I can be real with. I don't really look for a lot.
