PDL Journey has began
First of all, thanks to Lei for letting me have her PDL book. =)
Unfortunately, I missed one day so I will need to read two chapters in one day contrary to what is recommended by the author.
Day 1 simply reiterated that "It all starts with God." Now, this idea has been with me for the longest time. It was the same teaching that we passed on in Singles For Christ and even way back when we were in Youth For Christ. First day always talked about God's Love and his plan for us.
Given this, it would be natural to expect that it would be a breeze for me to accept the teaching. Unfortunately, I realized that this time around I had more questions. There were things that I accepted before, maybe even blindly, that were not so easy to accept. Although this worries me, I decided to continue on this journey and see where it leads me. I hope that He will help me find a way to overcome my doubts and lead me back to him.
God bless!
For those interested to try out this journey, please feel free to get in touch with me...
PDL journey delayed
Unfortunately, I was not able to start with my PDL journey today. (Sorry, accountability partner Nicky.) I had thought I had my book boxed up somewhere but apparently, I was wrong =p
Luckily for me, my teammate Lei has a copy so I asked her if I could borrow it for awhile. She was not really into the book so she gladly let me borrowed it.
Anyway, I guess I will start my starting over tomorrow.

Purpose Driven Life
Earlier we had the orientation for a workshop that we will have for the next seven Mondays. As expected, it will be based on Rick Warren's best-seller, The Purpose Driven Life.
Nicky has actually been trying to convince me for the longest time to join him in this since he took part in the workshop last year. Of course, I always had the craziest excuses to avoid it. Anyway, to make a long story short, I started to feel spiritually drained and, after a chat session, Nicky initiated another workshop and invited people from the old SFC chapter.
The orientation went pretty well although it did get a little intense (at least for me) because the topic being discussed was something that has been bothering me for awhile... the EAST A1E chapter, our chapter.
I miss the good ol' days when we had a good vibrant chapter. The time when we actually trusted each other with our deepest secrets because we trusted and cared for another.
Anyway, I think I have finally come to the realization tonight that those days are over and there's just no way to go back. A lot of the leaders and members have left and it's now up to the few of us. We either quit on the chapter too or find a way to start over again.
I choose to start over again.
