On talents..

Think i'm now in a dry spell.. things ard me dun seem to be going too smoothly.. work piles up.. and after my staff planning retreat, i foresee more work to be done.

Ministry is not too smooth.. wanted to step up to do more earlier this year but the plan for tuition in tct did not come to pass.. pass few months have been trying to involve myself more.. taking up vocal/keyboard class, going for brett manning singing success, recently volunteered to be backup vocals on touchkidz worship team.. volunteering to join fs during intercession, to volunteer to do consolidation..

But this morning when i asked one of my gals if she wanted to join me on the platform next Sun during worship, she declined.. i was puzzled cos she was one of those who were more 'onz' and went for Sch of Modern Levites (trains ppl who wanna serve in music ministry), and the children pastors have given her feedback that she has a good voice.. asked her if there was any reason, and she said she juz din want.. asked her if she would be joining the other children vocalists soon cos she has not been on the platform for quite a while, she tells me that she has told the pastor that she does not want anymore.. very puzzled.. don't know why.. challenged her that God blessed her with a good voice and would she not use that to glorify Him? but she was unmoved and said that she was going for a fren's bday party in the afternoon till late evening.. challenged her if she would sacrifice a few hours of the party to come and prac with the team but she declined.. wanted to ask her if she was feeling self conscious abt gg on stage and she kept quiet and shook her head..

Children's Pastor addressed postencounter on overcoming the world.. for her perhaps it is something that she needs to grow in.. how to put her focus on God rather than on things of the world.. my prayer that she will grow up to be a woman who chases after Him, fixing her eyes on Jesus..

Then so happens pastor melvyn preached abt the parable of the talents.. how the master gave each of the servants talents according to their abilities..
I pray that God will constantly remind me to make use of my talent(s) and not bury it under the ground like the last servant.
