Woke up quite early today... Finalised the venue for soccer. We'll be playing all the way in Farrer Park. Cambridge Primary School or something like that. Really looking forward to it.

Anyway, cleaned the dog area and scrubbed my soccer boots before leaving to go to Lynette's place. She was having contractors over to do her toilet... Prepared the teaching for DG this sunday. Learnt something while preparing. It really struck me when I read it.
"According to your faith will it be done to you"
| Matthew 9:29 |

According to my faith. Meaning as much as I believe! Meaning I am restricted by my unbelief. Meaning God can't use me if I lack the faith! Which means I need to build up my faith!
It really amazes me how verses can jump out at you all of a sudden. As if it was the first time you've seen them. And I learnt something else. Its not as simple as saying that you believe what the bible says. You have to meditate on it... Infuse it into your spirit. Until you know for sure! Until doubt bounces off you like bullets shot at a tank...

Had briefing for SonicFest'04 at St George's... Quite a large venue. The mainstage will be set up in a soccer field. So there's no worry about space. Loved the way they spoke of the things of God. Lets do things properly so that when the time comes for God to take over, it'll be the best platform for Him to work.
Marcus also shared about 2 Samuel 24:24. Another verse which impacted me greatly. "...I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing."

Made me think back on what I felt last night... What have I sacrificed? Nothing much. I have not given anything of great importance. I have not done anything that has a lasting value. What good have I done for the Kingdom of God? Nope... I want to do more... I want to do things for God and show Him when I face Him in heaven... See! This is what I've done for you. And although there's no cover charge to get in here, I did it because I love You. Because I want to see that smile on your face which will tell me, I did alright...
