The sunset was beautiful too!!
It was an enjoyable time with all the leaders in AG1. It was fun knowing one another. We had a game whereby we were to describe ourselves using an animal, a muscial instrument and food. Here are some of their descriptions: chameleon,elephant, tiger, horse, puppy, tortise; trumpet, cymbal, guitar, keyboard; durian, seafood, banana, bread. Guess which were mine.
The theme of this Getaway is about Passion, so we had a number of discovery sessions, some were games and some were discussions. =) And we had a session of prophesizing over one another as well! I received prophecies which were really apt!! Thank God. He assured me that whatever I need were/will be given to me and I should not be fearful but be courageous to go forth with faith to take on more roles & to take care of more people.
"One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Prov 11:24-25
WOW! That's challenging.. But if He said so, so be it. I rather to be generous than to be stingy. Haha..
We also watched a sermon by Bill Hybels about leader's state of mind.
"When leader grow and get things right, everyone under him will grow and benefit"
My personal growth does have implication on my flock, so I got to grow!!
Another thing that spoke to me was what Bill said about Holy Discontent,he said that this is something that precedes vision and that is the key to leadership: God's heart and a human heart being aligned perfectly around what frustrates heaven and earth. Wow, it was a revelation to me. I kept asking God for vision and I didn't know how to come up with one... Now I somehow know where to look.
Reflecting back, I saw fruits when I followed through my holy discontent. I can't really explain what I felt then but now I can. Those were holy discontent and they gave me the motivation to do something about it for God and fuelled my perseverance. I will want to take time to observe what are the holy discontent that God put in me now. Probably those will be the areas that God wants me to do something about it with him. And it is something unique in me that God has created. =D
