His Kingdom

Just a self reminder what I am getting myself into... a quote form the BSSM website:

“BSSM is not for the faint of heart or lazy, it is an extremely fast paced season of schooling, but the training is pivotal and strategic. We believe the intensity soon translates into “becoming;” things that are at first foreign and done out of duty gradually become second nature and students move from merely echoing a message to becoming a message.”

Corintians talks about not trying to use God to further your own interest... basically you are part of His kingdom, and serving Him... even in the midst of all the blessings and mercy that He pours out on your life... it is all from Him and to Him also... to Him be the Praise & Glory alone...


I'm also reminded of those will say that they have done mighty things in God's name... cast out demons, healed the sick, raised the dead... but all the while they did not know God... The sobering fact being that you can serve in the Kingdom, and do the work of the Kingdom... but never know the King... being caught up in the task, and forgetting the relationship...

Anyway.. preaching to myself here...

O, and my bags are packed... 20.3 kg's main luggage, and 2.2 kg's of hand luggage. I'm permitted 23kg + 7kg's... so i'm looking for a few more things to squash into my suitcase... also thinking of keeping 'space' for things i may buy there/the books i will get during the course... Think i need to capitalise on the 7kg's of hand baggage :)

I'm still looking for a place to park in May next year... in Kansas City... during a week at IHOP :) but that's still far away...

And my finances looks okay for now... paid tickets, housing, and school fees... and I have some spending (food) money... I still don't know where i got all the cash from... it happens with these kinds of things... faith in God... maybe aggressive saving, God's favour, and then some...

So I will see how far my food goes in Redding... but then again, I read that there are frequent miracles of a multiplication of food happening at the church... so maybe I can get past with a never ending supply of 1 gallon of milk and 1 box of Corn Flakes :)

Looking forward to becoming a representative of His Kingdom :)
