GPS

We had a wonderful time at Eumandi markets on Sat (28 sept). On our way there, I got caught up with Alvin’s GPS. Not a tech-gear fanatic, so I was trying to figure out how to use it and set the DIRECTION to Eumundi market.
What captures me more is our personal directions in life. Like the GPS- without it, can we find our way to our intended destination? In reality, can we manage without being directed? Just imagine being alone in a desert, are we able to find a way to shelter, food and water and survive that experience? GPS surely would help. We have among many our family, our friends and the Special One to guide. To say the least, we don’t have to walk our journey in life alone.

The message in church today is crystal clear- give up (let it not be the focus) your material possessions, use your talents(God given gift/s) and follow Him. As written in Luke 9:23- He said to all of them, "Those who want to come with me must say no to the things they want, pick up their crosses every day, and follow me." The hardest lesson for me would be to say no to the thing I want. It also leads us to following Him wholeheartedly, so back to GPS whether it’s a God-Pursuing Service, being in God’s Positioning System or being Godly Purpose-Streamed, I can’t do it alone… there’s where our fellowship with our friends are also important.

For a start, we would like to do life together, as a group with the other gender’s interest in mind (yes, as a form of sacrifice- give up the thing I want). Being in Brisbane provides great opportunities for this, e.g.,

29 Sept- Eumundi Market-window shopping at the weekend markets
6 Oct- Montville- wine appreciation, scenic views, nature appreciation and picnic.
13 Oct- Bribie Island- fishing, bbqs
20 Oct- Frisbee, captain’s ball
27 Oct- Mt Tamborine

Anyone keen?
