Praise the Lord! I almost finish my ISEED intern in IFI. It is one of the most important part in my life. I appreciate that God put me in this program. I have been learned and grown a lot through this program. I made bonds with lovely people in this program. I feel so spiritual and encouraging.
During the intern time, God reveals me to start Bible Study groups, to organize a trip for international students, to disciple people, and to be mentored. I feel so blessed that the Lord is using me for His Kingdom.
The Lord is with me in different situations. Some of them are good, some of them, I have to say, is painful.
In early January, I started my first Bible Study group. There are four of us. We gather together weekly to learn the Lord’s words. It goes very well. We discuss and share our understanding of the Lord’s words and try to address them in our lives because Jesus is life. We spent a month to dive learn John 15. It is just only one chapter! I see the passion and eagerness of knowing the Lord our God.
“Nothing and no one is perfect except the Lord.”
After seeing this success of leading the Bible Study group, I started to have another one. Unfortunately, after almost three months leading, I felt I was so tired to deal with the leadership group problems. I was surprised and a little bit frustrated. It looked not like what I thought. I kept asking God what happened? I realized I did not really seek the Lord’s Will. Instead, I followed my own passion and own desire. I wanted to be successful again. However, the Lord taught me a big lesson that I should depend on Him all the time.
Trust the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.
~ Proverbs 3:5-6
