sowing, reaping and patience
February 1st, 2007
There were only four sessions for me to continue the book of Daniel and by Thursday, two chapters were left undone. So I passed the book by Gordon Wong to the principal and asked him to complete it himself when school re-opens. Friday was untouched because of rehearsals for the graduation ceremony on Saturday. My work was more or less done, and I started preparing messages for Thursday with SJSM staff, and Sunday’s combined service.
Pastor Thomas preached at the graduation as he told the principal that if there were any graduating students wanting to do 
church planting he’d try to be there.(This was a sacrifice as his wife’s birthday fell on one of the days during the trip.) It was satisfying to see two students willing to do church planting in partnership with our church: two ladies who caught the vision two years ago when Thomas talked about the need for church planting.Sow and you will reap if you are patient. The vision is moving forward. Teaching in the bible school is satisfying but the next time round, I’d like to fly in on a Monday, teach about 8 sessions from Tuesday to Friday, and return home on Saturday. That would be shiok!

Patience is opening spiritual and emotional space in order to embrace God’s work through His schedule and time table for a person or project. God grant us the grace to be patient men or women.
Thats an insightful of looking at patience. I’ll remember that.
