Hello people!!

Finally Youth Sunday is over and I thank God for the positive responses that I recieved. Indeed it was an exciting experience when I saw that there were people in the congregation sitting there, worshiping the Lord, in Spirit and in truth. When I saw you guys out there, it added even more encouragement. =) I hope that you guys have learnt a lot from the sermon that day because indeed, when there is sin in our lives, we cannot function as best as we can as Christians.

I was browsing through the new paper the other day and I came across this very interesting article about this group of christians in the fashion industry choosing to meet up with each other to share of their struggles to stick to their moral principles as best as they can. As you all might know, the fashion industry is one where sometimes principles can be compromised and worse, you can be mocked for standing up to your principles.

What encouraged me when I was reading this article was that these people stood firm to their convictions, to be a good christian even though they could have lost certain jobs. How many of us are willing to give up jobs that could be high paying or friends that would mock you for standing up for God? I don't believe many of us would because friends are very important to us especially during this time when we are all growing up. We tend to confide in our friends more than we confide in our parents.

I do have my own experience to share. I recently had to give up this internship position because I would have to compromise on my christian convictions and almost give up coming to church for the next six months. It wasn't easy to make that decision because the offer that they had given me was so attractive that as an intern I would actually undertake a project that I can call my own. But well, I gave it up anyway. =)

It's not easy to stick up for God but when you do so, God honours you in ways that you cannot imagine. God honoured me and I got a good internship somewhere else.

Anyway this saturday is GAMES TIME again! It starts at 4pm and we should end by 6.30pm. If you can, we can all go out for dinner together after the games. Yep. Look at this place for more information!

loadz of love, eudora
