=Ms.Bloggie=

I woke up today and just felt like blogging. Hah!! It's weird! Anyway, i read some friends bloggie and the thought that came : ahhh, how i miss those ol' times! Those lame friends and the crazy things that we've done. Walking around 1U wondering where is the shop dat i wanna go to. With 1U, there's no need to go to places like Midvalley nemore. I don wanna die walking around man!

Anyway, better stop thinking bout what i would like to have. Rather think of what i actually have!!! hmmm....

You know, as a navigator, so much importance have been put on discipleship and i started to wonder whether my mentor choose me or she felt God's calling her to me. Hmm...I still do not know. But, i think mentorship and discipleship is no issue to be taken lightly. I've a friend who's mentoring 5 fellas and he's been mentoring them for bout 5 years already. And, 5 years is not short! Imagine, meeting up with disciples EVERY SINGLE WEEK!..even despite busy schedules such as exams? How many of us are committed to do such? i reli donno man! And yet we take this things lightly. Its not about who we think have the potential to grow or who we think can take a leadership role in church. It's about who God wants you to mentor!! It's all about GOD's leading and not who we think will be best to mentor. I mean, you think you know EVERYTHING about a person to know that person's need?! Well, of course we do get some ideas about whether that person is ready to be discipled anot. But, dont you think that the most important step to take is to ask God whether or not this person is for you to mentor? Or, God wants to deal with this person on a one-to-one basis? As in, God will deal with him/her. Do we pray for our disciples? hmm....As i was thinking bout my own mentor, i'm starting to doubt whether her love and care is sincere anot. Not that she's been a lousy mentor. She's been fantastic but i would reli hate to find out that i was "assigned" to her. If assigned by God den nvm. If assigned bcoz of something else, den i think i will need God's help not to be angry.And to be a mentor is not an easy task. James 3:1-2 : My brethen, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. For we all stumble in many things, If anyone does not stumble in a word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
My reason for bringing up this 2 verses is that being a disciple is like being a teacher - a heavy responsibility thing. Questions mentors alwiz need to ask themselves is this : are you stumbling your disciples in any way? and, NOT everyone who SEEM to be ready for a mentor has reached his/her appointed time according to God's time-table. My first mentor? ONLY this year!!!

Anyway, the point i want to make is this : We're only God's tools...We're not God. So, dont behave like one. We're not here to make decisions concerning God's kingdom and HIS people without consulting HIM. He makes the decisions about it and we are HIS tool!!!

No matter what we do, lets not take God's work lightly ok!
