If you had overheard the candid conversation I had with God prior to me coming into Full Time ministry…

Me: So, I really want to obey You and go full time, instead of sacrificing, because I know you desire obedience over sacrifice.

God: What are you sacrificing?

M: I don’t know… I guess you know, like the great amounts of money that I’ll be earning, the wonderful high positions that I’ll be holding, that beautiful house that I’ll be residing in, those fantastic annual holidays that I’ll be bringing my family on… You know… All these things… Well, but I love You and I just want to obey You instead of thinking about these things that I’m going to sacrifice.

G: Have all these things happened yet?

M: [stunned] Oh, erm, well, no… But it probably will, right?

G: But it hasn’t, right?

M: [resigned] Yeah…

G: Then they are not sacrifices. : )

M: [speechless] … -_-

All right, some bits were dramatised but essentially that really happened. I guess I’ll never know how life would be like in the ministry or in the marketplace so instead of speculating all the what-ifs, I should just focus on today and perhaps ask God for a preview of tomorrow.

I truly believe that I do not have to take the paths that others have walked on. My journey of faith is mine alone and may it be an adventure for me as well as for directly affected by my decisions.
