tctctc...still recovering from it
ok since amy shared the main bits of our tc experince, and I shared another big bit of it @ fellowship, I'll just share the not so main but stuck me real good bits :P if that made any sence. well one bit that really struck me at first was the analogy when rebecca said. it goes sumthign like this: If I got $ 8548540869 (insert big number) everyday for the rest of my life, what would I do? my inital thought was " oh! another story about how not to care much about worldy things"
then she added that this after I;ve spent my money, each day, itll all disapear but thr next day I'll get all of this money again then I thoguht to myself seriously because I;ve never heard of this analogy. I thouht mayb if I gave it to sumone else, then that would help them since if I kept it, it would disapear Idont know :( then she goes on and relates this to time and our everyday. how everyday we have 4587238509(bignumber) seconds in ourlives and how we choose to spend it is our own choice but everyday, every second you dont spend, will be gone. and then it hit me! I thoguht that was the most brilliant thing. like my eyes have been opened. From this simple analogy I really learned how I should spend my time. everyday is a gift from God and he gave me this gift so I could do whatever, but why not give back? pretend you were stil young and someone you knew gave you a colouring book and a pack of crayons, what woudl you do? I'll ask them for thier favourite picture, colour it and give it to them to show a sign of gratitude. why not with God? he gives you each and everyday, why not just give back? yea this little analogy was an amazing breakthrough to my attitude on life its just that amazing
another little thign that really struck me was when pastor Colin said about how people broguht up in the church would feel that church life is boring. To tell you the truth, if you asked me a few years ago I would agree with this. Back then I felt chruch was like a weekly ritual. every sunday I would go to chruch and just listen and take it in and by the time I get home, I would have forgotten everything and feel liek I;ve watsed my sunday morning. for so many years thats been the case and I was so ashamed Think abotu it. you had the privilage to be born into a chritian family, you dont have the struggles others have to go to chruch and being in the faith. you would think that it would be much better for your spiritual growth. But this definately wasnt the case. to make it simple, my walk with jesus was just boring. I guess what really hit me though from what he said was how much change God can do when you reconnect. ok let me explain my christian life was boring UNTIL a few years ago after a whole series of event that I'll rather not talk about. Thats when I think I had reconnected to God. and from hearing what he said, it made me realize just how immportant is was for me to reconnect. because when he said it at first, I completely disagreed. I grew up in chruch and yes,it was boring for while until it kicked in but now my walk with jesus isnt meerly a walk anymore its more than a stroll through the park, its mroe of an adventure through thru the wilderness, with a goal with a purpose and best of all, it isnt boring at all! :) yea I find it weird how I get more thru the little thigns than from the bigger ones :P
hm....and other experince...I cant recall now, but I'll blog later if I does kick in
yea thats my tc experince of the little bits of tc
