Don't give up.....
One day I decided to quit...
I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality... I wanted to quit my life.

I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
"God", I asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me...
"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.

"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds,
I took very good care of them.
I gave them light.
I gave them water.

The fern quickly grew from the earth.
Its brilliant green covered the floor.
Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.

But I did not quit on the bamboo.

In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed.

But I did not quit on the bamboo.

"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.
But I would not quit.

In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed.
I would not quit." He said.

"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth.
Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant
But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots.
Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.

I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
He asked me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots".

"I would not quit on the bamboo."
"I will never quit on you."

"Don't compare yourself to others." He said.
"The bamboo had a different Purpose from the fern.
Yet they both make the forest beautiful."

"Your time will come", God said to me.
"You will rise high"
"How high should I rise?" I asked.
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.
"As high as it can?" I questioned.
"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."

I left the forest and brought back this story.
I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.
Never, Never, Never Give up.
For the Christian Prayer is not an option but an opportunity.
Don't tell the Lord how great the problem is,
Instead, tell the problem how Great the Lord is!

FIND US FAITHFUL

We're pilgrims on the journey... Of the narrow road... And those who've gone before us line the way... Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary... Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace...

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses... Let us run the race not only for the prize... But as those who've gone before us... Let us leave to those behind us... The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives...

Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful... May the fire of our devotion light their way... May the footprints that we leave... Lead them to believe... And the lives we live inspire them to obey... Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful...

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone... And our children sift though all we've left behind... May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover... Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find...

DEAR BRETHREN

Dear Brethren,
I am writing to all you Young Adults because I am concerned for you. This has always been in my mind for a long time and I am seeing that the other leaders are following my footsteps. I have repeatedly reminded them in my conversation and prayers that the leaders cannot be seen to be unfriendly, unapproachable and aloof. Not that they are.

I am wondering what is keeping some of you from supporting this life group. Could we have a dialogue? We want your input and suggestions.

This fellowship is meant for you. We want this group to be vibrant and active.You are the future leaders of the church. We want to give our input to you. Many of you.

I have known for so many years and are now in university and working. God has blessed all of you. Do not trade you spiritual heritage with that of the world. You have to study and work but surely there is time for the things of the Lord and not on Sunday only.

All of you should continue to keep the communication open.

I hope my appointment as an Elder does not keep all of you from approaching and relating with me. This is done because the church needs to have a continuity. In the near future the picture would be the same.

In fact, honestly my hands are really full. With family, work at the hospital and church work (esp. the Music & Worship Ministry and Life Groups), it is tough. I have to travel to PD to be with the folks there for Life Group on and off.

We encourage you.
You encourage us.
From my heart to all of you.

More to come.
Bye.

God Bless.

YOUNG ADULTS BARBECUE @ PD

pics coming up soon

GREETINGS

Shalom!
Welcome to the first post of White Fields Assembly.
We hope you can gain much out of this blog.
We must admit, we are quite new to this blogging thing as a means of communication.
For now, we only have a blog for the Music & Worship Department.
Hopefully more can materialise for other ministries as well.
Do continue to pray for us as we strive to work together for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ!

God Bless!
