Postponement Problems

We have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function. -Romans 12:4

Many of us struggle with them-postponement problems. A professor at the University of Calgary in Alberta studied the problem of procrastination for 5 years and reported that 95 percent of us put off doing one thing or another. One estimate showed that Americans lose approximately $400 million a year by putting off filing taxes! Because of fear of failure or other insecurities, we wait and wait before starting a project or making a decision.

Procrastination is a problem in the church too. Many of us postpone serving God. We know we should reach out to others, but we feel insecure or worried about what to do. Because we're unsure of our gifts or interests, we put off our involvement in the church. We worry, What if I do a poor job? What if I find out I can't even do it?

Romans 12 gives us some encouragement. Serving starts with presenting ourselves to God as "a living sacrifice" (v.1). Pray and give yourself anew to the Lord and His work. Then look around! at what others are doing in your church and ask if you can join in. Start small if you need to, and try a number of things.

Your church needs you. Ask God to help you overcome your postponement problems. -Anne Cetas

Don't put off for tomorrow
What you can do today;
Postponement may bring sorrow,
Prompt action is the way. -Hess

For a healthier church, exercise your spiritual gifts.

Youth Camp Elevate 2009!

A big hello to my favouritest region in the entire world,

I know majority of us are experiencing the post-syndrome of youth camp. Your group cheer is still ringing in your head, you wake up at 730am and wonder if you're late for group devotions, or you randomly shout your group name in the middle of the night when you're sleeping. Haha. Besides all the cheering, shouting and the fun, let's not forget the main purpose of youth camp.

I believe God has ministered to everybody and that we all have been touched by Him. I want to encourage each of you to hold on to that faith and hope that God has placed into you and not let anything rob you of what God has done inside of you. Pastor Jude mentioned that it is easy to live for God when you are in youth camp, easy to do devotions everyday, easy to concentrate on sermons, etc. But when you come out of camp, its a totally different thing because we have to juggle between our piorities like school/family, and church commitments. As we step out of camp, let's strive to place God as our #1 still!

I feel that one major problem is that we tend to forget and lose the wonderful things that God has done in us a few months after youth camp. I pray, and I urge that each of you make an effort to sustain the good work that God has done and IS doing in your life! Let's be consistent in our testimonies together (:

Love, Joanna

The Devil & the Duck

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm.

He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods.

He practiced in the woods; but he could never hit the target.

Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.

As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck.


Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved!

In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; only to see his Sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.


After lunch the next day Grandma said, 'Sally, let's wash the dishes'

But Sally said, 'Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.'

Then she whispered to him, "Remember the duck?'

So Johnny did the dishes.

Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, 'I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper.'

Sally just smiled and said, 'well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help?

She whispered again, 'Remember the duck?' So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.


After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's; he finally couldn't stand it any longer.

He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.

Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, 'Sweetheart, I know.. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you.'

Thought for the day and every day thereafter:

Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done... And the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.)....whatever it is...You need to know that:

God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing.


He has seen your whole life.... He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven. He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you.

The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness; He not only forgives you, but He forgets.

"Without Him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Phil. 4:13)

lifesong

i no longer live
the body would be consumed
by the world but

the spirit is a sacrifice
a living fire at the altar
to the one up there

like oil in that alabaster
jar i pour this heart
at his feet when

he deserves so much more
than the praises sung
and glory given

the never ending shouts and cries
which echoes his name
resound greatness

yet never close enough to define him
who above all is the
Great I Am.

(posted in response to the previous plea post, actually written a month or so ago)

What to blog ah?


i think it's time to ask ourselves the very question that we named this blog after._.

AND ANSWER IT IN ALL OUR UNIQUE WAYS

Nothing's dead unless we claim it to be,
A blog isn't alive without posts.
A story every person can tell,
so why not just tell that story.....................
even boring blogs have posts,
7/8 aint boring or are we?

come on luh admins are real sad alr lets start posting!
