Teck once that one of the things that he saw in me that was attractive to him was my tenacity (of course i asked him the qn 1st lah: so...what was it that u like abt me? before i got that reply) In the 1st place, i didn't even know that i possessed such a quality. And it seems that over time, i have lost that trait in me. i grumble when things are bad, look at situations as if it will kill me to walk juz a little bit further. I am once again reminded abt this trait that i used to possess (maybe it is collecting dust somewhere within me). I learnt frm Rev. George Ong that tenacity was one thing that the Isralites lacked in, in Exodus 15. And as i sat there listening to what he was saying, i asked myself, how many times in my life have i ever really press on to wait for what lies ahead. Many a times, we as humans like to take control of the situation, thinking that God isn't doing His job, n end up making a whole mess of the situation(picture a meshed up cake) n having to bring it back to God, when in the 1st place it was His job to take care of it n not u. Sounds familiar? This is one senario which happens everyday of our lives. Then we tell ourselves: if only we didn't do this, if only we didn't do that....all the "if onlys". Why not take up the challenge n be a man/woman of tenacity. Have the never say die attitude! I am sure God is more than pleased to have quality disciples, than quantity. I am now faced with a challenge, which is to work in the OT. I don't deny that i am scared n also feeling that life is so unfair. But after today's sermon, i am more convinced that this is where God wants me to go. And if He has placed me there, then He must think that i am capable of working there. Or even if i am nt capable, He will show me how His grace is sufficient for me. I have chosen to be a woman on tenacity...what abt u?
