:)!

Went to church yesterday & of course, wasn't in a very pleasant mood.
Well, sermon was really awesome!

Pastor Song preached yesterday. He was preaching on how to live life to it's fullest.
So I began to understand that if I get affected by what others say about me so easily, I can't release this potential I have in myself. But with God's help, He will see me through them & help me release this full potential in me. But it's still a choice that I have to make! :)

So he was also preaching about having a clear goal in life & if talking about a goal, if lets say as a career, I wanna persue being a dancer. :)
If it's talking about well, other aspect, I wanna see a big big big revival in Fairfield, my family & in YI :D Like the biggest revival ever known in the world! Lol,seriously :)

That's just some parts of it only.
As I went home & did my quiet time, I came across this verse in the bible.

It is from, John 13:12-17 & it reads, 12When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. 13"You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. 15I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

This passage talks about Jesus washing his disciples feet. Jesus actually washed his disciples feet for them when he could actually just make it like magically clean instantly.
This passage also reminded me of cell yesterday when we're talking about Love & Fellowship amongst the small group. Jesus is leading us by example. If He is willing to get on his knees & wash his disciples feet for them, then I think that no matter how "highly ranked" we are, like we're very wealthy or whatever else, that we should do the same for other people that's of "lower ranking" as us too. Like the less wealthy for example. It's not a very good example but you get my point. Or it can be vice versa. The "lower ranking" can help out the "higher ranking". Lower/higher, we're still not perfect,that's why we need each other. Or! We can also help those in our cell who's like probably the new comers or something :)

Jesus is showing us in this passage that, we should be willing to do anything even if it's losing one's face but by the example of Jesus.
"Do you understand what I have done for you?"
Talking about other aspect, God has actually done so much for us, it's just a matter as we see it as it's from Him, or not.

Since we know the things that Jesus has done, & has been an example, it is His promise, that we will be blessed if we do them. Especially I think it's very important for having fellowship with one another.
It's something like, I scratch your back, you scratch mine, that kind of thing but it's on a whole other level.
It's like in cell, we're talking about getting out of our comfort zone to reach out to others whom we don't really know well. It's like Jesus doing this washing feet thing for his disciples, I'm sure he was out of his comfort zone. He did that, to set an example for us.
There's many many other things that Jesus has set an example for us. Well, I'll continue with my quiet time & will discover more about them :)

Sorry if it's difficult to understand, I have some things still stuck in my mind that I don't know how to get it out in words about the passage..

& finally! Dance training tmr :) after like 2 or 3 months of not dancing? O.O
It's sure gonna be one that's really really tiring... I miss dancing with Gladys though. Hahaha,okay blog another time!
