I typed this really really long post... Bearing my heart and soul...about what i have learnt and whats been inspiring me...and...and... are you ready for this??
KELSEY RAJ UNPLUGGED THE COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am raging with anger now...
HAHAHH!! it is all good.... gooooosss fraaabbbaaaa!!!!!!! Breathe in...breathe out...
I am going to attempt to rewrite the post... i hope it isn't too dodgy... URGHHH!!!
SIGH! HAHHA...
Nothing too exciting has been happening...School has been the usual...Busy...
Judah and Xiao Wen will be here in exactly three days... that is definitely very exciting...
Dad is also leaving on tuesday for Malaysia... the irony... He's going with uncle Matt to sort out some Influencers Malaysia gear if i am not worng...
I am donating blood this coming thursday...am very excited...hhahaha!!
ANYWAY...the crunch of this post was about last nights solid meeting...
Some may not think of it as being very spectacular but it was to me...
The pastor, i honestly did not get his name. However, he is the youth pastor at Edge Church.
Bear with me while i RE-try to put this into words so that it will be just as inspiring.
He started with talking about the two biggest 'killers' of youth:
1. Loneliness
2. Boredom
This is why young people turn to drugs, relationships, sex, etc...etc...
We need to answer these two important questions:
1. Who are we?
2. What are we here to do?
He asked, what is our primary identity? For example, my primary identity would be - a daughter, a student, a friend, a sister...etc..etc... for others it would be a doctor, a dad, a mum, a teacher, a pastor...
What is our primary purpose? For me it would be - to study hard, to obey my parents, to be a friend...for others it would be...to raise a family, to teach, to pastor...etc...etc...
Yes... all that is great...
But above all that... Our
primary, primary identity is : A woman of God, a daughter of God.
: A man of God, a son of God.
Our
primary, primary purpose is to have a relationship with God.
Still pretty basic... but then he gave an example of him and his little 2 year old son.
He said, it is great to hear my son say now "thats my daddy".
It would be even greater though, when my son is older, to hear him say "that is a mighty man of God and it just so happens that he is MY dad".
That blew me away... Because that is what we're about. That is who we are.
I want my sister to say to people - "yes, that woman of God is my sister".
I want my friends to say - "do not mess with her, she's our friend, a mighty woman of God".
When people ask my parents, "who is that MIGHTY WOMAN OF GOD", i want my parents to say, "YES, that is OUR daughter".
I want my boyfriend, when i finally have one ;) to say, "My girl is an unbelievable woman of God".
I want my peers in school to say "yes nicci raj is a woman of God, no doubt".
That has to be the most rewarding compliment. That is what i want people to say of me.
Not "yes, she's a great girl". "Yes, she's a gem". (it would be nice too of course :P) but most importantly, I want people to look at me and see that I am the daughter of an AWESOME GOD...
Then, it all falls into place. Our two important questions are answered.
WHAT WE DO will be an out flow of WHO WE ARE - A MIGHTY MAN/WOMAN OF GOD...
That just leaves me speechless...
:D
Ah... i am so excited now... I have even got goosebumps!!!
