Col 2:6-7

Hi my dedicated daily-devotional-readers! (I speaketh in faith here)

See that thing beckoning over the horizon? That’s right. It’s the weekends calling out to you. 🙂

Won’t blabber on for too long here, just wanna remind you all to invite your friends for “Image Matters” this coming Friday. I attended a session with the speaker (Ms. Irene Loh) today, and whadya know? She’s good! Interesting, funny, AND relevant. So don’t hold back, do as our heavenly Father commanded and “Go out into the streets and the lanes and make the people come in, so that my house may be full” (Luke 14:23). It’ll be great fun!

I know the devotionals thus far have been a bit on the serious and heavy side, but press on, soldiers! “Let’s not get tired of doing what is good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest-if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9)

Let’s not give up now, not so early on in the race! 🙂

Right, and now on to a cause for celebration… I don’t think I’ve mentioned this before, but there was a salvation in our cell group not too long ago. YAY! You may already know who it is, so go forth, encourage her without scaring her away (balance, baby, it’s all about the balance). It’s a huge scary step to take, as some of you may recall from when you first accepted Christ, so let’s be here for her yes?

Right. This was meant to be short. So, see you on Friday, please contact Stephanie and Ian respectively if transport is required 🙂 For those that aren’t able to make it, wanna join us for like, supper or BBT after that?

Have a great “rest of the week”, and remember to PRAY.

Jamie.

Anyone Missed the First Devotional Yet?

Come on now, thou shalt not lie.

But it’s ok. You shall be granted a grace period of… 1 day.

Oh, calling me a miser now are we? Don’t forget we’ve been talking about this for awhile already yes? So chop chop, get your daily reading done, won’t take more than a couple of minutes, promise. (Well, unless halfway through reading you decide to grab a snack, or take a nap or… never mind. Just read it.)

Righteo. Now on to yesterday’s devotional which was about living our lives as a shining, beaming testimony for our Father, so that the message of the gospel can be sung loud and clear for all to see.

Still confused? Well, in more plebeian terms, the crux is this: Study hard, be a good person, strive for excellence where ever you are because you are carrying the name of Christ. And when people look at you, they will see and know that our God is a good God! Amen?

And just because I am sadistic this way, let’s all commit the following verse to memory yes?

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” – Matt. 5:16

Can’t promise you a present if you do remember it, but I might just spring a random test sometime in the next cell… and remember that thing we mentioned about starting a dinner fund from fines? Uh-huh…

Alright! Go back to work you. But before I end off, remember that we’re going for “Image Matters” this Friday yes? I promise it’ll just be like cell, except, I’m not preaching (yay?), there will be about a gazillion others, and Ian won’t be laughed at for once (am I being too optimistic here?). Read the side bar for more details.

(A bit bummed that there’s no cell, shall we meet for a meal or something? Picnic? Saturday? Stay at home and study? Go wild with your suggestions in the comments box.)

(By the way, the tech noob in me tried embedding some tag-board thing at the side but it was an epic fail. Any expert in the house?)

Have a great week my little Son-shines! (Can I be any cornier? Gosh…)

Jamie.
