Let's Arise and Build I've decided on a higher amount than what I had in mind previously, but I still believe that it is achievable. :) Mum was sharing with me over dinner today about what was mentioned by a Father in the catholic mass she attended. They were embarking on a mini arise and build (but of course they don't call it that :P) as they are raising funds for a glass panel refurbishment so that people sitting outside the sanctuary can look into the sanctuary when it's full. The Father said, "giving and putting your finances in church is better than using it in investing outside with an economic crisis like this, because your financial investment in church will remain forever". It is something which now thinking of it is like an assurance from God that He will take me through these 6 months. and that when I give to the building fund, my investment in the Kingdom of God will not only be secure, but that it will go on to impact lives of people. Just thinking of this, I know that my sacrifice is more than worth it. There's just a line between intelligence and foolishness. I want to be the smart one. I'm believing in God to complete my giving within 4 months from Nov to Feb. To be honest, my best 21st birthday gift will be to complete my building fund within 4 months, and to bless a special someone with a love offering. I pray that God sees the intention of my heart cos I won't have the finances to bless that person if I give my all for the building fund. But i believe that if God is pleased with my sacrifice, I will definitely be blessed with more so that I can bless others as well. I know that I've got alot of things I wanna do....like go on a 21st birthday hols with my bestest best friends which we have been talking abt since eons ago, I want to get my own camera that I've been talking about for the last 2 or 3 years, and I've been wanting to bless others financially. But i realize that to love God wholeheartedly means that I choose to care for His desires first. It does not mean that I treat myself badly, but to believe that God will never shortchange us because everything in this world is His. :) Labels: contemplative 12:40 AM
