Yesterday Inti had a meeting again .. It's budget meeting for next year which involves new-inti-to-be also ... It was a pretty intense meeting .. it started from 8PM until about 10.30PM ... Thank God that almost everything was settled at that time ..
Fiuhh .. I feel like my energy was drained out yesterday .. both emotionally and physically ... Funny though, although you are in the same boat, the people in it might want to go different ways and do different things ... The thinking could also be different .. That's when prayer comes to play an important part .. submitting ourselves under the one authority of God ..
As a team we should learn to listen before we want to be heard ... Sometimes that we sooooo want our opinion to be heard and do not listen to others ... that's maybe me (and others too, I don't know?) .. and you could also feel offended when someone give comments or not thinking the same way as you do, especially if you think that your ideas are good and will bring growth to youth .. I kept reminding myself yesterday: respect others and let your voice be heard for His glory ... This is all for Him not me ... There should be no ME in it ... Kept reminding myself again and again yesterday .. tried to be calm, prayed in my heart ... and even now ... I am having difficulty in balancing between authority (as youth leader) and humility .. heheheh if you want to put it that way ... I could be bossy sometimes .. I like my voice to be heard and obeyed ... hahahhaha ... scary rite .. ? Yup that's sinful me .. *ayo berubah*
I should follow Jesus' example of humility .. It is actually in my yesterday's morning devotion hehehe .. (*God is good* ^^') .. Even though He is in very nature of God, He humbled Himself, until death in the Cross ... So down to earth that guy, YET full of authority ... I want myself to be like that ... But it is hard (at least for me) because of my selfishness and my sinful nature ... Sometimes we want to show that how godly we are and how great are our ideas, yet we loose the focus which is Christ and we turn into something like hypocrites ... Humility is a hard thing to do when you are in a high position rite? It makes sense ... But look at Christ .. so true to Himself (being God with authority), and yet so humble ... wowwww ...
Lessons to be learnt: be humble like Christ, don't be afraid throwing out ideas, respect your bro and sis in Christ and other people and I should strive to be an example and be serious in my speech and action ...
Has anyone had a similar situation before?

Yup .. thanks for writing the comment ..
Having said all that, I agreed with you darwin that Jesus is the truth and He knew exactly what He had to say and all that .. so tolerance and democracy does not always work .. The government under God (theocracy) is the most perfect system i think .. :)
But us? We can come back to the bible and ask for Holy Spirit's guidance ... But most of the time we can't be sure that we are right 100% .. It's not so clear-cut like Jesus case I think ...
