Haha! Finally i'm back to blog an entry. After a month of absence(busy+forget), here i am back to this little place. The month of May and June has been exciting. I have been officially in-charge of TP2 for a month now and i had some difficulty handling the people at first. Good frens/buddy like Cecil and such a knowlegaeble brother in the form of Han Yew, it felt awkward.
Have to buck up because my word is not that strong at all due to past laziness and boredom to look through numerous stream of texts. However, one thing i always felt about a leader is someone who is both a friend and guardian to the people. I want to be someone whom people follow not because of authority given to me but because of the love that i exemplify to other people. It can be done.
Many are always barred by heirarchies in church and this church is no different. People tend to think that if you are a leader, you must be special or you are the cream of the crop. This make people strive for the status instead of closeness to God. This is probably a downfall for many people. A leader might possess some qualities that others don't but if doesn't mean that they are the best. God created each and everyone of use uniquely. Some are cut out to be leaders and some are not but there are also other things which a leader can't do or aren't as good as others.
One example would be a project group. The leader might not be as knowlaegable as one member who contributes alot of ideas to the project. But that doesn't mean he's weaker than that member. Everyone has different roles. The leader might not match up in terms of knowledge but he is able to inspire others to acheive goals which is essential. Similarly in church, its not the leader or anyone that is best. We all have a part to play and no part is greater than the other. Leaders are just people whom God caught to guide others. So don't feel sad or jealous if you are not a leader. Aspire to be one but know that everything is in God's plan as well.
To end things off, i feel that God has blessed me with a good project group this sem. Last sem, i found it hard to relate to my group members. They were A-calibur students whom were too much off myself personality wise(i'm not the chiong project type). Even when i tried so hard, things didn't work out well. But thank God. God blessed me with a weak project group this sem. Weak in a sense that it allows me to shine among them this time. Not saying that they are lousy but i have an opportunity to expound my ideas and takes things at a more relaxing pace.
ESS is coming this week! Aiming for 3 non-bs to come. Are you excited?
