Coming home wasn't an easy thing I realise. It means being alone and having to manage my food intake. It was simply easy while staying with my aunt and while I was home. There were others who worried about that on my behalf.
Didn't cross my mind that 3 weeks of dependency would make me dread coming home. I almost cried. I might have.
At the same time, I realise that these 3 weeks of dependency gave me an opportunity to be lazy - even in spending time with God. Yeah, I had lots of time but I can count the number of times I picked up the Bible to read. It was also difficult to maintain the frequency as I did not have fellowship with fellow believers - never mind the kind of fellowship. It is now that I know how important the consistency in keeping in close touch with fellow believers is.
More than encouragement, fellowship spurs us in faith and maturity in Christ. It reminds and nudges us to greater fellowship with God Himself.
It is good to be back in church and in the circle of fellowship. I wonder how lost I will feel when I return home next year. It sure will be in a greater degree - compared to my current state. This is keeping in mind that we're moving to a bigger place and that means opportunity for church growth - more strangers!! Yikes. So sesat man.
Help me feel at home - then again, it'll never be the same again when I step back to Dream Centre next year.
The constant thing in life is change. So change I must. It must.
