talk and talk and talk

I did a lot of talking this week. Here's some key "talks",

> Talked to a potential volunteer on how she should consider coming on-board and join us in this work of reaching out to young people even when she enters into university. Uni life has a way to sap your time and energy without you knowing if you are not focused. Choosing to serve intentionally could just be the thing that keeps one's sanity in the midst of all the busy-ness in uni.
> Talked to a few volunteers on how they need to decide and be very clear what their end goal in life is, so that it will shape their present decision making and not leave them living in regret. Sometimes we lose sight of what we do and why we do it.
> Talked to some students on the importance of God's Word in our lives as Christians and how we need to be personally convinced that His Word really matters, discipline ourselves and open our eyes big to see God working in our lives. I parallel it like exercising. We all know exercise is good but many of us dun get down to doing it. But when we set in our minds that it is REALLY important, we discipline and force ourselves to go exercise consistently, then we reap the fruit of our labor, isn't that feeling great? Wouldn't that feeling push us to keep it up? I guess it's the same with God's Word. I need to be personally convicted of it's importance, discipline myself to do it and pray that God will let me reap a harvest from obeying His Word.

Somehow they are all related. How can one truly know what to do with this life one has? Only when one allows his/her life and decisions to be shaped by the Word of God, which many of us find it boring and dun see it's true value. But to be able to comprehend and be in love with God's Word, I guess it's a work that only the Holy Spirit can do in a person's life.

So thank God for my mouth and the thoughts I had but more importantly I pray that all the talk I did this week will continue to be convictions that I live out for God...
