Luke 5:4-6


When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch."

Simon answered and said, "Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I WILL DO AS YOU SAY and let down the nets."

When they had done this, they enclosed a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to break.." Luke 5:4-6

Yes! I am starting a blog

Since the vision retreat, God has placed some clear convictions in my heart that I've been seeking to find more about and trying to obey as they become clearer.
Two things God have told me to give him the total trust with and obey were 1. adoption and 2. the next stage of my personal career development.
I was totally not ready nor expected to receive these two callings at the time but through the sermon preached at the retreat and the undeniable work of the Holy Spirit, i committed myself to letting down my nets into the "deep water" according to Jesus' command.
Two things that I mentioned above automatically came to my mind when i thought about the "deep water" areas of my life. And i said to God, "I will do it because you said so".
Since then, my journey into the deep water began and God has been faithfully leading me as a good shepherd through provision, guidance, and protection.

I've been told to start a blog about my cakes and handcrafted items that I love to make. Someone even suggested me to start a counseling blog. But whenever i thought about setting one up, i always ended up saying to myself, "who would want to read about just an ordinary a-jum-ma and her life?" "Will my contents be even worthy of being read by others?"
I still don't know. But this blog is for me. I want to do this so that I could keep the record of how my Good shepherd led me throughout my life and always be reminded of His faithfulness and goodness.

Like Abraham, although I know God has called me to these two visions, I don't know where I am going. I am at the stage where I can only say, "I set out...."
God will continue to lead me toward his vision and the promised land.
At the end of this journey, I know i will be dragging the net full of fish.
