Precious in His sight

Do not let your adorning be external - the braiding of hair, the wearing of gold, or the putting on of clothing - but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious (1 Peter 3:3-4)

HHH: Head, Heart & Hands

I am excited about diving back into youth ministry... The 'non-connection' that I feel with these kids is no excuse for me not to be giving my time to serve God where He calls. Put another way, maybe I am just too lazy to try. When Mic asked, I hesitated but it didn't take more than 2 minutes for me to agree to be Term Champ. Meeting someone with a servant-heart has encouraged me to be giving my time to do likewise. On top of that, serving alongside a fantastic team of leaders is a blessing in itself!

"Head, Heart & Hands" will be the theme for this term. The 3Hs hypes me up. Maybe make that 4Hs.

  • Head: We are created with the ability to think & make decisions. We have the knowledge of God (creation bears witness to a Creator); and He desires that we grow in the knowledge of Christ. We are also guided by the bible as to how we should think (of what is pure, lovely, etc.)
  • Heart: We are emotional & feeling creatures (more so us chicks). The heart is a fountain of life/death. Our response, commitment to relationships is a heart issue. Does Christ dwell in our hearts? Are we growing in our love for him? How can knowing Christ change the dynamics of our relationships with our family, friends, etc?
  • Hands: This is action-packed. Practical aspect of life as we are called to work (job, studies, housework etc); but also we can use our hands to serve the Kingdom.
I have one night to prepare my introductory talk to kick of YG-T-4 & am glad that people are praying! Dear God, please give us the strength, joy and wisdom as we reach the youths for your Kingdom.
