Good and Faithful Servant

Been quite an exhausting but interesting day. Struggled to wake up at 6:15 am after only about 5 hours sleep last night (not easy for a person who needs 8 hours sleep a night like me).  

Today marks the start of the 3 day National Children's Workers Conference. Am really thankful for the staff and Dew Crew who worked really hard to get things in place.  

Am quite sleepy at this point after running around for about 16 hours... but want to mention a few things so that I will remember!

Learnt a few things at two of Sam Tee's workshop today called 'Clownology' and 'Creative Arts in Missions'. That each of us has specific skills that God has given us and we must use it to tell of His love to others. This gift can be anything from cooking to being a clown!  And God has not only called us to be faithful but also to be good, hence 'Good and faithful servant'. So when we want to use our gifts, we have to maximise them and explore unique opportunities to use them. I like this quote from Sam - 'Repetition is the mother of all skills'.  The way to obtain a skill is to do it again and again. 

Like always, I hope our efforts in supporting this event will bear much fruit that will last and will not just pass as another event.  Sam told the workshop participants today that it is time to do something practical, and not just hop from one conference to another.

Ok, its midnight.  I better sleep if I want to get 6 hours sleep tonight.
