We ate our way through that town. Stopping every 2 hours for some kind of Malacca specialty that would just push me closer to a chaos in the tummy. Sadly not much pictures of the food we had (which is quite a bit ironic) but lots of us disturbing the peace at Jonker Street and up the Stadhyus.



Malacca was what we needed after working non stop for the past 6 months on Glo. I didn't get everyone to come along, but for the ones who did make it, I would like to think that it summed up 2007 for us. That after all this time, we are still friends. And we will always be.

Glo: After 4 Months

Having someone that would be wiling to share the burden of sharing God's word in young adults ministry is not something to be taken lightly. Lucky me, I have 2 =) I'm not 100% sure how the rest thought of their sharing, but I was really blessed.

Sometimes I do feel that I need to be in control of every single tiny little detail, but in retrospect, its really stupid for me to think that I would be able to manage it alone. I'm beginning to let go now, starting to learn how to depend on God and on my friends more than I ever have.

So, after about 3 months of handling this ministry, what can I say? I know I've been sharing my struggles and hardly painting a beautiful picture for you guys. But I just want to say that, ministry in church is not something supernaturally perfect. The people in it are still people. We are prone to small mistakes, big mistakes, gigantic mistakes, you name it.

The difference in the end is that we are not depending on our own strength, but on God's. When you see it in that light, ministry in church will start to look pretty good. Its something that we have to learn and relearn again down the road.

If you're stuck in a rut now, start searching for a solution, start looking further than you have ever looked before. The only way to escape is to decide on something life changing, not just accepting things as it is.
