The Removal of False Securities through the 'Shepherd' change affair..

Recently God allowed me to confront a circumstance that revealed that I placed my aconfidence or security in another wrong place: Sprituality, how well I've grown, and how people viewed me etc.

Other places of security may be financial income, job status, relationships (having a bf/gf), looking good etc. these are not wrong things but placing our security in them is bound to set us to disappointment coz neither of them last. Rather it should be on God, Jesus the Rock alone..who is eternal, unchanging, powerful and mighty..

It was through a Shepherding change that didn't fall through as planned..
and my Unit leader suddenly told me the because if that, he thinks that another choice would suit me..Lo and behold..
a 'younger' sister both by spiritual age and age was named. Though she is serving as a leader now, She was like the New believer that my CG harvested previously (of course that was some years back already, and people do grow through different seasons of time & opportunities, and at different pace too) and i have always related to her as the 'younger' sister to look after or encourage.

I had a hard time reconciling the fact that it would be kindof 'switched' around. Coz i have not have a wider mindset of a shepherd & sheep relationship where there also could be peer mentorship. I still can't imagine or comprehend it.


Thanks to my current/or rather ex-shepherd,
She challenged me to ask/question myself

1)Why do you want to grow/develop yourself, etc. (and fast)
2)Why am I feeling this way..

Q1) half of me thinks for the noble..
Q2) And through the thinking, i realized that I was upset because.........


When i asked God about the shepherd assignment,
Jesus said: "Oh well" and smiled..

Still wanted to bargain with God.

But after i was back to SG after CNY, before I could reply my leader, he msged to tell me he has decided back on my original shepheard. Whom I finally met on the faithful 15 Feb 09!

Of course I was extremely delighted to hear the news when I first heard it. And what a relieved and thanking God.. haha.

Thinking back, it is a COMPLETE DUHH.. situation.
After being tossed forth and back.
Yes, No, Yes, No and then finally now Yes..

But i really thank God for this incident which gave me the opportunity to confront a False security or wrong place where i had put my confidence in..

GOd is wise and good!

My confidence & Trust shall be in the Lord..
