started serving as a youth leader way back in 2001 and from then till now, there has been periods where I stepped back when changes occurred, periods when I stepped down when I chose my career over God and finally, I'm back in as a leader in Young Adults Ministry.
i think back of the time when i was serving in youth and comparing to just the few months in young adults, there's so much heartache, so much disappointment, so many times of wanting to give up, so many times of wanting to just join a young adults ministry somewhere else. i should have learnt to deal with heartaches and disappointments by now but it's different when the pain comes from close ones. the higher the expectation, the more painful it is - how true.
some of the current young adults are youths in the past whom i've led before; some of them were never in my cell group but the friendship was established; some of them were new christians who came into church during the period i was out of leadership..
but in all of them lies the potential to be groomed as future leaders in church!
at this stage of life, it's challenging as we often feel torn apart from demands that come from all directions. we want to excel in our work, in our family, in our relationship.. that we forget our purpose on earth.
some are worried about decisions on career choice, further education, getting a lifelong partner and having so many issues on our mind inevitably causes us to lose our focus and attention on God.
very challenging it may be, but i'm also certain that God will not and never give up on us - young adults.
God, may You reveal Yourself to us, each and every one of us - that we may live to fulfil Your purpose.
