camp was good :)

went up to the mountains for hiking
it was suuuper cold.
made spaghetti bolognese with the group, from scratch! haha now with google, everyone can cook! =D

sermon on sunday was about backsliding
lol i guess He knows huh.
it was also about how there are no shortcuts in life.
in our walk with God and all
i guess all this while ive been praying for everything to be easy.
why can't life be like that?
no worries no pain no need for hard work.
then it dawned on me that if life were like that
we wouldn't need Him any more then, wont we

when will we rely on Him then?
if we ourselves are like gods of our own
is there a need for a god then?

most of the time we get down on our knees and cry out for help,
only when we realise that we cannot,
and remember that He can

and He knows this so well,
how "human" we really are, and so are our hearts
how ungrateful we can really be.

i guess without all this, there will be no miracles, and there will be no other way to show His amazing love and powers, no other way to show that there is a God
it wont be full of His surprises, it wont even be of Him any more

life would be meaningless then, if it were easy

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.
