I shall start on my topic of sense of belonging...
Sense of belonging is very simple. So long i can feel and be able to express my ownself in whatever i am doing, i will be able to feel the sense of belonging in me, I will have a no need on having a mask on my face whenever i am doing something,
do i always have to do that? Why do i always want to continue put on the mask which in the end cause me to have a lost of identity. Quickly did i realise it's really time to take out the mask. Because, it's really losing me to stop having the fun i want and also to have that sense of belonging.
Why do we want to continue putting on the mask and causing us to lost the sense of belonging in AV?
Haven we been very tired in fighting with each other or having issues with each other?
we are already losing each another. Do we still want to lose more of us?
When will we as a Ministry really feel that we welcome each and everyone of our own to be close to each other like a family? Instead of having issue with one another. Aren't you people tired of it? If you're not, the Poor thing, but i'm really tired with all this conflict. So, I will decided that I will want to make this commitment in making peace with people whom i gossip or hurt. This is what i will do so that i can make this ministry a better place & have a better sense of beloning.
SO....
i would want to know something from you people,
So could you kindly reply on your opinion on the tagboard or write a post about it. Thankyou.So what is sense of belonging to you?
&
What will you want to do for this ministry so that each & everyone of us can have the sense of belonging?
With great love from God,

Hey guys,
ReplyDeletei think there is a wrong thinking here. Basically, being in church and the whole idea of being Catholic is all about LOVE, and being able to be a better person.
Being in a ministry doesn't mean you can behave however you like to one another. like all social groups, you still have to maintain that level of respect for each other. I'm still trying to learn my ways in good interpersonal skills.
You can't make peace with other if you are not at peace with yourself. One thing about relationships is you can't assume what the other person is thinking. cos most of the time that will be WRONG interpretation and plain wild guess depending on your perception. Assuming will only make us non-christian like. its just like any other people u meet outside. you see their face and make a stamp of what they are.
Being Catholic and being true to each other meant the completely opposite to me. You shld be able to sit down and talk to the person and ask what is he/she thinking about without fear that they will walk out of you. Thats what i see a real christian way of living. you tell someone whats best for them, and not what they want to hear. and being a real christian you should know whats good for you and not use "God made me this way" as an excuse to cover our flaws and shortcoming.
stop assuming people, lets start Listening

Like what Johns say , true . We are made in His being . And God is Love so we are LOVE . Many of us tend to forget this powerful word . LOVE .
ReplyDeleteBut loving one another is not easy especially when conflicts are knocking at our doors .
But that's what makes us special =) Trying to love when it might seem impossible
Anyway , having a sense of belonging is when myself feel that i belong to this particular group of people or a particular place .
Personally , although we are catholic but that doesn't mean we won't have conflicts . Hahaha , it's normal =) It's true this conflicts we grow . But to grow , we need to accept why this conflict happen . Sometimes , it's true that the other party is at fault , but it's always true that it takes 2 hands to clap . For a conflict to happen , BOTH PARTIES are at fault =)
we are all imperfect and it's through our imperfections that we TRY to become more and more like Him . ( like what john say ) But not using that "God make me this way" as an excuse to cover our flaws and ignore it and say accept me for who i am .
All is good . And remember , we are formed and brought together by Him . It is all done in His time and not Ours =) I truly believe that when we are the weakest , He is the closest to us . Let us not be afraid and choose to give up =)
In His Love ,

God created all of us differently; Jesus sacrificed on the cross just to save all of us.
ReplyDeleteTake a step back and ask yourself this question: what were you before you join AV Ministry.
Let me start the ball rolling, I was bought up as a stern Catholic from Old Testament, which has lots of killings, hatred, etc…
To love one another as I have love you is usually not the first priority.
Just ask ourself this simple question: Were we all friends when we join this ministry?
Remember this, the Devil is always ready and around to destroy what is good of mankind, so that is why we have to be strong and bonded as a Team and defeat the works of the Devil.
My parents always teaches me to be true to yourself and always be yourself, but must always be on guard as the Devil is always finding ways to destroy and distract.
I sincerely hope this will come to an end soon, as we have to move on to the next level as a Family of God.
Thank you for your time and May God Bless The AV Ministry.
