As i was spending time with God and praying this morning, i just felt i need to share this.

About the cluster retreat, i really wasn’t that keen on having it. I
was really tempted to just forget it about it coz none of the leaders
were able to help out and the older ones were going to have major exams
this year and time was running out for preparation. But yet somehow
deep in my heart, i knew that God wanted to have it and somehow felt
that God was saying that I want to speak to my people, i want to bless
them and they need me.

So just 2 weeks before the expected date of the retreat, i actually
started praying and asking God what he wanted instead of making a
decision based on current situation. I prayed God if you want to have
to retreat, you need to help provide the location and the team to work
on it. And i don’t even know who’s gonna come on such short notice. And
God if you want it, i will do it and i will walk by faith.

Within like a few hours, God provided the location even though it was a
Saturday and most people don’t work on Saturday and i couldn’t confirm
a location in time to tell the youths about the retreat on Sunday. But
God miraculously provided us  the best location – bungalow with
bbq pits and private pool! After that, almost everyone whom we asked to
be on retreat comm agreed willingly (haha, most at least… ) That
was really the confirmation i needed to continue running…

That was the start to many good things that happened during the retreat.

God is so good. His purposes must prevail above ours. If he calls us,
he will provide. Once again, i was reminded, never plan according to
what i see and what i have in terms of resources but ask God what he
wants and run because he will provide the manna. MY GOD CAN PROVIDE!
Hallelujah! Praise Him!
