I prayed to God that my sister would want to come to the Easter Camp and that she can come a day earlier to Melbourne. I also prayed there would be available flights for her.

Yesterday, my mom told me that if the flight was changed to a day earlier, the price would double. So I suggested to check with other airlines. After that, my mom said they were going to use credit points for Qantas for the flight ticket. It benefits all of us. Because dad doesn't have to pay for the flight ticket; my sister will be at the business class (since there's no seats available for economy); I can go to Easter Camp with her.

Oh God, your love is just bigger than anything. I am the worst sinner ever and you still love me so much! Teach me to obey you God. Teach me to be like Jesus who was being tempted by Satan yet obeys you fully. Amen!

I prayed to God that I would have a chance to spread the Good News to my family in the right way.

Then, my sister G sent me an email about feeling scared of the disaster that happened in Japan. She mentioned about praying to God. And there was the chance to spread the Gospel to my family.

Thank you God!

It was Moomba Festival. V was mad at me because of the miscommunication of where to meet at the Moomba Festival. He was so mad that in the end he said he didn't want to meet me anymore.

Just in time I was walking back home after talking and crying on the phone to R, I asked God why had this happened and prayed to Him that He would do something for me as I was very upset. After that, I bumped into H and J. Then, when I told H what had happened, I was crying. Then, they offered me to tag along with them and to get some snacks. And I said yes.

Yes we were walking out of the Moomba Festival together, V suddenly appeared and pulled me away. We explained to each other what had happened and understood that it was nobody's fault. Things worked out well in the end.

If H and J didn't appear, then V wouldn't be able to find me. Thank you God!

Learning from church service

Recorded by Victor N.

When we use secondary source, we add new equations into our work. We often say "it's for a good intention" as an excuse. It will then be a new God.

God wants people that are on an expedition, that are daring and have strong faith.

Genesis (4: 1-11)
The power of sin comes from the power of temptation.
The breaking of the ten commandments is to protect us from sins. It is like the young boys that are shorter than their fathers, are these young boys sinners? And what would the father do to make them to be like him? By feeding them.

No one is measuring how bad or good are your offerings. It is like 2 brothers offering toast and tea to their grandma. The rejection of giving a burned toast due to hard work doesn't mean that the tea is better. The rejection could mean that the work that the receiver receive is not the right things.

We might keep giving things that is not what God asks for. It is hard to compare between the 2 boys because they have different gifts.

When sin has powered over you, you start to create hatred, sarcasm and lies. God is disciplining you for the wrong things that you have done. God was not punishing Cane, it was he who cut off himself from everyone and God.

Sarcasm blocks away the goodness of life; and it is due to the hatred in the heart. The society is holding against you - "you are not this enough and that enough". Do not compare yourself with people around you, instead you should focus on God. The more you compare, the more hatred you create; and it does not improve you. It kills you through sarcasm and makes you a restless wanderer. You start to beg God for things that you don't have. Seek for God's wisdom and follow it rather than do things in your own way. By getting hatred out of your heart, only your offering will then be approved.

Amen.

Faith

Dear God,

How little faith do I have in you! I worth much more when I am clothed by you. There is no reason for me to worry about anything. Teach me how to have more faith in You, my Lord. Teach me how to pray. Thank you for being my God. You are an unchanging God. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

Love,
Jacqueline

Day 18 - Experiencing Life Together

I took this one step today to connect with another believer at a more genuine heart-to-heart level by having lunch as it is his birthday. We got to know each other more and shared our own lives. The next level I can do is to listen to his troubles and share mine.

Dear God,
I have so many "brothers and sisters" around me that we just talk on the surface. I pray for everyone in church to be able to connect with each other and share their troubles and problems instead of talking on the surface. Amen.

Love,
Jacqueline

Day 17 - A Place to Belong

"You discover your role in life through your relationships with others." Thus, we should regularly attend church. Not only attending, but I should involve in church more, to show commitment to God's family. I can start by reaching out to people who are wandering in the wild.

Dear God,
Sometimes I just find myself being an attender in church. But now I learnt that we should contribute to church to be a member of it. I pray that you will let me know the best way to contribute. Amen.

Love,
Jacqueline
