It is amazing how GOD works and brings us to places at different stages of
our lives.
Today, we had 'Day of Prayer' where our entire church comes together once
a month to seek GOD and HIS agenda in our lives and our church direction.
We've been pleasantly 'uplifted' and touched by the emphasis today on the
Future Generation especially in regards to "discipling" them as parents, as
this generation and as the church.
This has been the heartbeat of the ministry we hold so dearly and the main
reason we are the way we are....
Alex & myself feels that our GOD ordained role is to disciple, to guide,
to nurture our kids. Not to 100% scores in their studies (though it be a bonus),
NOT to well and prefect 'on cue' manners (though it be VERY good!),
NOT to saving the world and all it's issues with humanity, NOR safe the planet
with dire global degradation, but, simply but for the set-apart-ness of their
hearts so that GOD can live, love and dwell in them.
We are praying that this continues to resonate in our church leadership as
well as 'wake up' all the parents and adults of this NEED. Parents can NO
LONGER outsource discipleship, NOT even to sunday school teachers or
the Religion teacher or even the Senior Pastor of the church.
After about 6 years in Singapore. We have packed up our memories and entered a not so booming yet exciting new country. Until we get our driver's license, we will not be New Yorkers but alas, this place can grow on you. All 5 of us, an unlikely yet loving couple, a 6th grader encyclopedia, a 4th grader who knows it all and a dare devil toddler. This is our life, our journal, our journey.
