Spent the weekend relaxing, trying to reduce the 'fire gas' that was within... along with extra hour of sleep, it worked out pretty well! Feeling much better and the cold sores are pretty much healed now! Thank God! :)
I also got my old Civic fixed up and got it to pass smog check. Hoping to use it during winter time to reduce wear and tear on my S2000...
Anyway, pastor Jim on Sunday preached more about fishing. This time was regarding the 3 question asked of Peter by Jesus. We typically would revert back to our old selves whenever the going gets tough. Instead of being the fisher of men, Peter wanted to just go back to fishing fish. Whenever I feel discourage, I think I'm inclined to do the same stupid thing. This kind of struggle is part of growing process I guess. It's good to know that Jesus can actively participate in our growing process, help extricate us out of our shells.
In the 'how people grow' book, the authors also talked about how God often uses other people to help us. How important it is to be plugged in the Body of Christ. With Jesus dead, of course the disciples got afraid and split! That body was dead for 3 days! But once the Body is restored, naturally the church will form again... and of course this new Body is never going to die again. We are all particular 'cells' of this Body. May our Lord's body on earth grow stronger and stronger. May we also grow along with him.
When brother GD quits leading our prayer meeting, may Christ himself help us find a good fellowship either within FCC or else where... Today's reading of Ezra also talked about rebuilding the temple of God! Not just making our old selves better, but to start from scratch to rebuild a brand new person! Yeah, it for sure isn't going to be easy, but because He's good and His love endures forever, this is going to be done!!!! Halleluja! :)
