A word of thanks to 2nd KL officers


Came back from 2009 Officer Retreat on Sunday, can't say it's good or bad, the only thing i will said is this-- we had a very fruitful retreat.

In 2nd KL, i always believe that God is moving 2nd KL. From the time that it lack of officers, until today we had a stable officer council, i really thank God for all the blessing that He put in 2nd KL. We did had a long meeting from 1.30pm till 7.30pm, but the meeting is not stress at all.

Throughout the meeting, we had covered the revision for year 2009, of course there are sorrow and joy, and problems and solution. As for the new year planning for 2010, i can foresee there are hopes and courage among all my officers, and i truly believe that 2nd KL is growing, with the strong hold from all the officers, 2nd KL will move forward to fulfill God's planning for 2nd KL.

As a Captain in GB, I did have pressure. There are officers older than me, there are officers much experience than me, there are officers same peers with me, and who am i to lead them?? I did asking God about these questions, and God is strengthen my faith, ensuring me to move forward with HIM. To move on, the only think i believe is-- honor God. They always had a verse said-- when you honor God, God will honor you in return. Yes, He is.

From the day i take up the post until today, i did learned a lot. Being a captain in a company is not easy, but God is so good until he showing me each step to move on. I used to think, i'm just a ordinary man in this world, God might forget about me. Even with my little strength, i can't make things change because i'm so tiny.  But, God's planning is different. I never thought i can take up the role as Captain in 2nd KL, and i never thought i can make things change just by a decision i made.

After 2 years taking the role, i don't feel tired at all, because i know that i'm not tired to serve God. Kit told me before-- Serving in a ministry is serving GOD, NOT serving MAN, and i hope that i can bring this thought to all my officers in the council, and i would like to thank them for all their efforts in the GB, THANK YOU my officers, thank you for working in team with me, thank you for supporting me throughout these 2 years. Thank you.

酱是朋友吗?

朋友 。看见这个字眼,就让浦鱼想起身边的一位朋友,一位让浦鱼头皮发痒的朋友。浦鱼不知道朋友的定义是什么,但对浦鱼来说,朋友就是在你有困难时,会不计前较,尽力帮忙。当然,无聊时也会遥个电话给你约你吃饭、喝茶、逛街看戏。但,浦鱼这位朋友不是。

不是浦鱼要挑剔或笃她背,只是有时她未免也做得太过火了吧!浦鱼并不是很爱计较的人,只是近来的她真的让浦鱼开始不喜欢她了。问浦鱼为什么不喜欢她?好,那浦鱼就慢慢告诉大家。

话说浦鱼的朋友没有汽车,每次她要去哪儿都会拨电给我们去载她。当然,我们也不觉得有什么不好或有什么不妥的,知道她经济能力有限,有很多时候大家吃饭或喝茶也会请她,尽量不要和她去一些较昂贵的餐厅里用餐。但,久而久之,浦鱼和另一位友人就开始觉得有点不妥了。

首先,她已习惯了我们的专车接送,每次拨电给我们时,都只是要求我们接送她。然后,就算我们大家一起去旅游,她也好像和我们格格不入。有时浦鱼会怕她无聊,专程和她聊天,但她总会在有意无意间逃避浦鱼的问题。就好比说,如果大家是朋友,肯定会在有意无意间向对方投诉或倾诉生活上的点点滴滴。但,浦鱼发觉浦鱼这位朋友并不会对我们这样。好像她永远都距离我们很遥远似的。

最近,还发生了一件让浦鱼挺不爽的事件。话说浦鱼的男友生日就要到了,浦鱼的好朋友就和浦鱼一起请他吃饭。无奈我们已明白到对浦鱼的朋友来说那顿饭应该会很昂贵,所以其中一位朋友就询问了她的意见。果然不出所料,她拒绝了。当然,她拒绝也未必是件坏事,只是发生在后头的事才让浦鱼气结。

一开始,原本大伙儿都想在周六吃晚餐,只是突然男友的母亲大人说周六要在家吃饭,然后所有的行程都被迫更改到周日。当然,对我们来说更改一天并不是什么大事,就把当天的行程转换去星期天。谁知道第二天,当我们兴致勃勃讨论下午的行程时,浦鱼那朋友突然爆出很不爽的一句话:“为什么你们今天的行程我不懂?” 浦鱼当场傻眼了。什么跟什么嘛,是小姐您自己说不要和我们晚餐的啊,就算您要和我们逛街,您也得搞清楚我们要逛街的地点和我们要晚餐的地方是同一个地方耶。我可没那么空闲当小姐您的司机,和你逛街后还得载您回家后再到回来同一个地方晚餐咧!其他人已不想说话了,浦鱼只好和她解释,但浦鱼在心里发誓,如果可以的话浦鱼再也不会每星期告诉她浦鱼将要去哪儿了!!!!!

晚餐风波告一段落,让浦鱼更火的是,同一天下午,大家一起午餐是为了欢送一位朋友。其实原本应该还有几位朋友,只是他们当中有一些人已没有回来教堂了。当我们聊到他们时,浦鱼这位朋友突然很大反应的说:“你们为什么还告诉他,他已没有兴趣回来了,你们不用再浪费心机了!”当然,浦鱼第一个感觉就是--我们告诉他,是基于我们还当他是朋友。他会不会回来,并不在我们可以管理的范围。那一刻,浦鱼不说话了,大家也不说话了。气氛很尴尬,但浦鱼知道大家都不想再多说什么了,浦鱼对那位朋友突然有种很陌生的感觉。

当然,那位朋友的事件陆续有来,只是浦鱼开始不想把她当朋友了,因为朋友并不是酱的,浦鱼开始不想理她了。
