Every Man has a Journey

Dear sons, thank you so much for praying for Ahpa while I was away on my retreat the past few days. Indeed it has been a great restful trip for me. Some of the highlights of this trip includes:

1. Good physical rest - sleep full 8-9 hours daily, waking up at 9-10am daily.

2. Eat, eat, eat - from the authentic Ramly burger to DragonFruit

3. DVDs & Movies - Watched some really inspiring movies and also the latest Jet Li-Jackie Chan movie "The Forbidden Kingdom" (at only 9 Ringgit!)

4. Impartation - catching up with my life mentors, Pastor Victor & Kelly, about 3Gs - God, G12 and Girls

One of the things that God brought to my mind through this trip was that "Every Man has a Journey" in their Christian walk and how lives are changed as we encounter God in this journey. The end result of the journey is important, however, it is through the journey where we encounter God, build relationships and grow to be more matured in the Lord!

Every great Bible hero went through a journey where their faith grew in the Lord - Abraham (Genesis 12 - 21), Joseph (Genesis 37 - 50), Moses (Exodus 3 - 14), David (1 Samuel - 2 Samuel), Daniel (Book of Daniel).... and many many more. Some of these journeys spanned an entire life for them even!

I came back from this retreat inspired to go along on a journey - For myself as a leader to encounter the Lord, let Him change me and for me to grow in Him. A journey that I hope to embark on with everyone of you guys - so that you too will grow in this journey.

Let this exciting journey begin! :)
