Change

Back in this space after 2 years. Wow. I was just doing my quiet time that day and the message mentioned about keeping a spiritual diary. So after forgetting about this space for a long time, i got reminded and typed in this url and started reading my old posts. This blog actually started off as a platform for me to share my daily happenings but along the way i decided to change what i will be writing about. I have always enjoyed blogging and started way back in primary school. And although my last post here was in 2014, I did not stop blogging. You can check out the blog that i have been updating regularly here: https://dayre.me/whyiteaiaand . And I would also start blogging here again!

Why did i stop in 2014? 

I can't really remember but i think it could be because i got busy and didn't make time to update.

Why do i want to start blogging here again? 

It may  get very personal but I want to share honestly about what i have been through, what i have learnt and also share some of my thoughts. 

What have changed since the 2014?

A lot. You can still see the post from 2014 and you would realise that i used to attend CCCB but i am now attending Hope Church. I left CCCB because it was not right for me. Not saying that it is not a good church. Because it is a wonderful church. And i know people from CCCB who loves it and have been growing in the Lord.
Since I started university in 2015, I have been going for Hope. I got to know about it as they had a booth during orientation week and I met someone from UQ7 (one of the life groups from Hope). I tried it out, liked it, and stayed on.

What do I like about Hope Church/UQ7?

-Their love and genuine care for God's people. I feel like i belong and they are now my brisbane family. 

John 4:19 " We love because He first loved us."

Hurt people, hurt people. Loved people, love people.

-Also, I have learnt so much and grew so much there. I was constantly challenged. 

Challenged to reconcile with people whom I had issues with and that brought healing to broken relationships. That also set me free because before healing took place, I swept issues 'under the carpet'. It was definitely awkward talking to that person about how i really felt but i am glad i did. Otherwise, i would be carrying the baggage of the past, the anger would have followed and I would not have been able to forgive completely.

I was also challenged to step out of my comfort zone. If given a choice, i would not choose to talk to people about God because I have a lot of fears. But I know how important it is. And I want everyone to know that God is so so so good. Evangelism was an area really wanted to grow in so i made the effort to join and talked to people. It is not easy but my desire to see souls saved outweighs all my fears.

-We encourage each other as we do life together. It is wonderful having people to bring you back to the right track when you waver, it's wonderful having people you can share life with.

Proverbs 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."

-It is a platform of equipping. I have really learnt so much and I don't know where to start. But i guess I don't have to share everything in this post and can share later on since you will be hearing more from me!

What is my main 2016 resolution?

"Each one bring one."

To invest in people's lives.

To see souls saved, disciples made, lives changed by the power of God's name.

So, that's a brief update about what has changed! 

That's all for now. God bless!
