Monday, April 3

Went to church on Sunday. As usual, it taught me a lot. Pastor Prince talked about being filled with the spirit, and reminded us that everything has no straightforward answer; e.g., God says this or God says that. Everything is contextual and contingent. It's situational. That's why there are so many examples given in the bible. What's important is that we feel the prompting of the Holy Spirit. A certain feeling within us that feels us with peace when we make a decision.
He also said that God lives in the now, and we are frequently directed one step at a time.
I kinda agree with it, coz I realized tt looking for signs are never gonna be accurate. I remember that I used to say, "God please gimme a sign what to do: If the next bus that comes along is a 10, I'll do this, not that." Then the bus appears and all, and I'm still not sure! So I say, "God, if the crow flies in front of me, I'll do it. Please gimme a 2nd confirmation." If not, the answer tt I'm not looking for appears then I say "this one's not counted, let's try again."... until what I'm looking for appears. I can say one thing I learnt from this: it doesn't work! Yep, I exhibit the characteristics of a Kiasu Singaporean.
I alwiz believe that when we have a decision to make, and we ponder over the dilema for days and days, most of the time, we already have the answer in us. It's a feeling. It's not logical deducations but an intuitive feeling. But we don't dare to take that step for fear of choosing the wrong thing. Many times, we seek verification from without: others, signs.... I alwiz find that I eventually choose what I already have decided in the first place. Why? Coz it feels like the right thing... *shrug* Seems remarkably like what Pastor Prince says.
