I am tired at 10:50pm, far beyond my sleeping time when I was is college (9:00pm). But I want to build a habit of posting another thought for the day. Anything about my activities today. I know this practice will require self-discipline, but I insist. Let me start it from dawn. I read my book "Gentle Persuasion" with my bible beside it. I use the later as my ultimate reference. One of the subtitles that struck me is "Persuasive Sheep Are Gentle", I wonder why it hits me in the face. I want to disagree, something inside me is shouting and begging me to oppose. Hmm, bakit kaya?
I am leading a cell group of young professionals, I do it weekly on tuesdays. My youth pastor does too, he is the pioneer on starting the explorers company, the young prof ministry. When I came here in Davao 3 years ago, I joined it and later lead it.
What I observed in my youth pastor is his gentleness, I don't remember him in an argument to anyone, instead he faces everything gently. My style is different, I do it the opposite way most of the time. I used to confronting the idea with the person, equipped with direct to the point statements. Not so gentle and unseeingly caring. I'm on the process of self evaluation. God made us uniquely, there is no reason to compare in terms of gifts. But I know, there's always a better way to approach things.
