mooncakes motivation!

dear cell group,

i wanna share with u sth that i'm quite amazed at! recently i received a mail from a friend entitled "mooncakes". i thought 'wah, she also selling ar?' but actually she was asking me if our church is selling them again (she bought a box from me last year) and that she wants to buy. so i was very excited and sent her the forms. i just saw her reply, she ordered one box each from prima and goodwood and told me that she promoted to her aunts, so their orders might come along the way. another amazing thing is that she says her family wants to donate $50 in addition to the orders!

my jaw dropped. it was kinda unexpectedly as i have never approached her to donate any money or even asked her for the magazine donation booklet. though $50 seems small in the light of the amount we need to raise for the building, i believe it counts and it was a blessing God gave. with this though, i feel ashamed. ashamed that i have not been actively asking enough, that i have not even taken the mooncakes promotion with a sense of urgency to ask my friends and relatives. yet, God still blesses. how amazing!

so....just wanna spread this testimony and encouragement and motivation to you all! lets do this purposefully, knowing that all of it goes into building God's sanctuary :)

disclaimer: sorry i've posting so often...cant resist, and the rest, stop remaining silent readers!!!

Praise God! Indeed He has provided us with showers of blessings, EVEN when we least asked for it, the wonderful workings of God.

Money may be one of the greatest distractions to God that SIngaporeans have, so indeed it is very encouraging to hear such incidents happening in Singapore!
