Can I say keeping a blog somehow helps improve your writing? I won’t call it skills because then one has to be super good at it, and I’m way behind this in terms of flow of ideas, grammar and sentence-structuring, haha… I juz write what comes to mind, and that’s really not enough to qualify yet when the flow, the grammar and the structuring still needs room for improvement, eheh =p It’s almost a year since I started a blog… first with xanga, afterwhich I decided blogspot was better *winkz* To me, writing is something I find quite fulfilling sometimes… No idea why, and don’t know how to explain that, haha… but I never knew that people could see the liking for writing in me… hmm…
Anyways, evie approached me asking whether I would be interested to write an article for “SURGE”. That’s a weekly e-newsletter that cell members would receive in dumc… as far as I know, this article would be forwarded to various cells in a certain sub-zone… it is in fact a ministry, a writing ministry, that was established roughly 4 to 5 years back… it starts with the prayer intercessors down to the cell prayer secretary, who will then forward the article (or anything at all that has got to do with prayer) to the cell members… each cell has a person who is responsible for mobilizing & rallying prayer in the cell, working in concert with his/her cell leader, and this person is called the prayer sec…
“SURGE” is an article where one can find stories of encouragement, explanation & elaboration of the promises of God from the Bible, which could also be a way to challenge us to improve our spiritual walk with the Lord and to take His Word seriously… divided into 3 sections, the first is SURGE, which gives a short explanation of the main theme for that week… then down to the PROMISE section which consist of verses from the Bible and the promises of God that comes with it… and last but not least the HEARTCRY section which, most of the time, are testimonies contributed by cell members, or anyone at all, to bless God’s people… and yea, praise God for giving me the opportunity to be able to contribute and bless hearts…
Indeed, I was nervous because I have never written something that was to be published for everyone to read… I asked evie if this would be forwarded to all in the church, and she said “only to certain zones.” *Phew* doesn’t sound too bad, haha… so, yea, I agreed to contribute… and it was really by faith AND BY GOD’S GRACE becoz when I agreed to her, my head was still blank about what to write, because the title did sound abit too deep… in fact, what I had in mind doesn’t sound right for this week’s title, eheh… somehow, somewhere it was Him who helped me blend in to the theme… ooh, and inspiration from Him, whoa!! Without Him putting words in my head, it really wouldn’t have turned out the way it is… PRAISE THE LORD!!
This week’s “SURGE” published on Wednesday, 26 April 2006 entitled WHEN IT IS TIME TO GO HOME… Scroll down til you see the “HEARTCRY” section *winkz* My testimony is there... =) God bless!!
