Habitudes & Obedient Faith

Habitudes was awesome! Felt tired but went for it and was refreshed during worship time. The beginning was fun and simply easy to identify as we go through each habitude as mentioned. For me, even though I left slightly earlier, I learned about 3 topics namely, the Iceberg, the Starving Baker and the Thermostat & Thermometer.

Kinda forgot what Jenn asked us to do. LOL! Supposed to do 2 or 3 things. Vaguely remembered about writing what we've learned today, what are we going to do about it (actions) and be accountable to someone. Hope this is the correct questions and tasks. I kinda understand the thermostat theory after being put on stage for prayer today. God is there during the service.

Before PSP, I was praying for service and what to pray, what to do when praying. I got a reply and simply to hold each other, forming a chain to signify unity. I thought it was crazy! At PSP, I questioned God and I ask, if I wanna ask the congregation to do it, then the Music Ministry should do it first before anyone since we are on stage. Bey happened to lead us and asked us to hold hands forming the circle. Praise God for confirming. Best of all, Sister Elaine also felt the same thing and it truly affirmed me and encouraged me a lot.

When Pastor Jenn shared about Obedient Faith, I realized that what I did was simply obey. Yes, it's not easy but submitting to God in total surrender, just for the prayer alone, was a leap of faith for me. I hope that I can listen as clearly each time I ask God a question or when I'm challenged.

Praise God for everything today. Bought two books from the conference and will be reading it and sharing it once I get started. Currently reading Experiencing God, God Songs (which should be finished last year), Master Plan of Evangelism and Boy Meets Girl. Soon, I'll read Mentoring and Habitudes (#1 - The Art of Self-Leadership) by Tim Elmore. It's gonna be fun.

It's rising up all around. Faith is rising.

Be Blessed!
