2013 02 19 - Toronto
This trip to Toronto is really amazing. I am really happy that I can see the ones that I have not seen from a long time, also I can meet many that I am not familiar with.
I really treasure the time we can pursue together. I am more confirmed about His will through all the meetings and sharing.
In my life, I never thought about myself learning the elementary well or not; in fact, I thought all should have learn it in their early years. On this trip, I realize more that in many aspect of myself I am still in the elementary level, and if not, I am trying to be in a higher level than what I really am. Many of my weakness are due to this problem. This cause me to not be as skillful or as accurate; to be more precise, I am not performing at the level of where I should be. My way to help myself is not to learn the ways of the level that I should be but first be skillful at the elementary so I can progress and build on. When I think about the things that I can do such as basketball, piano, cooking...etc, I understand more why I am not good at it. It is not that I have no talent but because in all things I am not well in its elementary elements and practices. I really give thanks that The Lord show me now. I don't mind it to be now and not earlier. I want to live in the presence. This also can be my testimony. Although I cannot go back in time or pause all that is around me so that I could learn and better myself, but I need to find ways to help myself to improve and be consistent about it. I shouldn't try to take big steps but small steps at a time.
Another thing that impressed me in this camp is when I see the connection of when The Lord revive the truths, there is a progression. From the importance of living out the truths of His family to oneness in all land, then to oneness in spirit, the Father, the Son, and His commission, Sweet Daily Living, and recently John 17. Although it took long years but The Lord is leading us deeper and deeper so that we can go further. Each build on top of the others. We cannot have one then move on to another one, but all are needed; just that the progression of the truths that The Lord gave us testifies that He is leading us deeper into God's heart. I am very thankful for all the elder brothers and sisters that started and joined this movement earlier and walked out the truths. If they didn't walk it out, today I would not be able to have the blessings from these truths. Now, together, we can strive together. I am standing on their shoulders and striving on deeper.
After this camp, I realize more the importance of "Love is the greatest ministry". I am not doing ministry just because I should be doing something and have a status or to show people that I am doing something, but behind all that I do, there should be a purpose. If the purpose is lost then all that is going on is pointless and a waste of time. I must be clear in the things that I do so things can progress in a quicker manner. Also, the people are important in ministry. If love is the greatest ministry then I should learn how to love one another. If I do not love them then I won't have actions. Then actions need planning. If actions don't have good planning it might not have the best or even a positive result.
