September 19, 2011 - Monday Discussion

Hey y'all and guyzes, 

I'm happy all of you could make it to the monday discussions! Really, thank God we could do this because I really learn more about you, especially when you share a lot of personal stuff. Shoutout to Kathleen and Vincent:  Is Monday a bad time?

News!. 

1.  Welcome Sarah Wong into this discussion group, I hope we can invite all the central region kids soon (that means Toby,  Willy, Kuan-Lin, Kuan-Hsuen, and anyone else who I might have forgotten.)

Summary:

So just to summarize for those who couldn't make it, Amy shared about the topic "forgiveness"; we talked about how sometimes it is hard to forgive but it is something very important to do. we discussed the small differences between just forgetting their offense and forgiving their offense. Thomas shared that we should be kind to those who offended us and this is a very good way to test your forgiveness. I hope all of us can put what we learned into practice and try to repair the relationships that have been stretched for too long.

Prayer Request: 

1. Keep ALEX, the nebraskan, in your prayers. She is sick with something. (probably some strand of corn virus :) ) . And i've noticed that a lot of us are getting sick, including Thomas, Amber Lo, and ____? 
2. Keep this group, this "United Body of J2" in your prayers because I feel like we have something good, something that will be edifying and constructive for the future of this church going on. Pray that we will continue to bond together and sharpen each other so that VERY SOON, when we our fellowship is strong enough with one another, we can have a fellowship and bring some of our friends.

Reminder: 

1. Monthly Dinner/"Hang out" Administration, we scheduled some form of fellowship near this coming weekend so keep us/me posted. Otherwise, I will call you myself, muhahahaha. (Amber and Ebone)

Proposal:

1. If no one gets far enough down this message, we'll just discuss at church or next monday but: after Thomas, Sarah, and I had a nice conversation after everyone left, we decided this was a great opportunity to really discuss personal weakness/viewpoints/advice in life. They are extremely applicable to daily life and attitude i feel. So here it is:
2. CAN WE HAVE THIS PHONE CONFERENCE MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK?????? :) (remember, they are voluntary, but it would be nice if that opportunity was just made available).

P.S. Polling question to test if you actually read all the way down here: 

* Your thoughts and comments MEAN A LOT TO ME! please please please please please dont hesitate to say anything you think, even if you think it's "dumb"

So...

do you like or dislike what we are doing? Do you want a different way to communicate (video chat, whale calling)? Do you feel like we are moving too slow are we "okay"? and finally, Where do you want this to go? just another chore or an opportunity to bond and prepare to fight in the front line? In your action packed life, if you have time, try to think of this and share it with everyone. 

Have a good rest of your week, keep each other in your prayers.

Your brother in Christ,

- Kenny Z.
