Working 9 to 5

2011-02-05T18:06:00.008+11:00

During the past few life groups, we've had quite a few discussion on work: people unhappy in their job, people applying for new jobs, other people loving their jobs, as well as discussions on how our employment related to the purpose for our lives.

I've been doing a little bit of reading lately, and have stumbled across some encouraging words re: jobs and work, so I thought I'd share :)

I loved this verse from Ecclesiastes:

"This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for people to eat, to

drink, and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labour under the sun during the few days

of life God has given them - for this is their lot.

Moreover, when God gives people wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy with their toil - this is a gift from God." (Ecc 5: 18-20)

I've been reading a book called "Guidance and the Voice of God" by Phillip D Jensen and Tony Payne, that a girl from work lent me. Here are a couple of excerpts from this book:

"...All the same, for all work's frustrations and imperfections, we can be positive and enthusiastic about it, knowing that out daily labour is one more avenue in which we can act 'in the name of the Lord Jesus'. Work remains a good part of God's creation, which Chrisitans are urged to be engaged in out of love for others. The results of our work may pass away, but the love never passes away." (p.121)

We all struggle with reading the Bible, and I thought this paragraph was a good reminder that instead of continually contemplating whether we are on the right track or not, we should be going back to the "light for our path"...

"How is God going to guide me? By talking to me.
How do I hear his voice? By reading the scriptures.

Do they show me the way I should go? They most certainly do, for they teach me how God wants me to live. They rebuke me when I depart from the way. They correct me to show the way back. They train me in the right way to go. They guide me every step of the way to the great destination that God has for me - to be conformed to the image of Jeses, and live in God's glorious presence for ever". (p.75)

I thought this was great:

"In all normal circumstances, Christans should seek to be usefully and gainfully employed. We should avoid laziness and idleness. Even if we are unemployed, and are having difficulty finding work, we should use our time well, and do what work we can to contribute to others". (p.130)

Well I hope that a few of you were able to gain some encouragement from this post. I am certainly trying to change my attitude about work at the moment!

I'll see you all tomorrow, hopefully it won't be as hot as today!!

Love Sal

Rock Climbing + End of Year Dinner

2010-12-08T10:32:00.002+11:00

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came to our rock climbing night!
It was awesome, and I think it's safe to say that everyone had a fun night.
What a shame I forgot my camera - the boys climbing across the ceiling would have been great subjects!
See you all on Sunday - we can discuss Tuesday's dinner then.
I think the consensus is that we're going to go out to dinner, so have a think about where you'd like to go, and let me know ASAP!
Thanks!

Verses of the week

2010-10-26T22:05:00.003+11:00

Thank you to everyone for sharing their inspirational verse of the week... here are the ones that were shared tonight...

"For God does speak - now one way, now another - though no one perceives it." (Job 33:14 TNIV)

"Jesus answered, "It is written: 'People do not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" (Matthew 4:4 TNIV)

"The purposes of the human heart are deep waters, but those who have insight draw them out." (Proverbs 20:5 TNIV)

"When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other." (Ecclesiastes 7:14 TNIV)

"Do not pay attenion to every word people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you, for you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others." (Ecclesiastes 7:21-22 TNIV)

Thanks for sharing guys, and happy reading this week!

Love Sal

This week's life group is on Wednesday 27th at Lucy and Brendan's (12/14 William St Hornsby) at 7.30pm. Our supper volunteer for the night is Jacqui :)

The following week's life group will be a movie night. Have a think about what you'd like to do i.e. go to Greater Union, or have a video night at the Westie's, and we'll talk about it this Wednesday. Is there anything in particular that people want to see? If we go to the movies, it will probably be on the Tuesday night (coz it' cheap) depending on everyone's availability.

Ok, well have a great week,

See ya Wednesday,

Hi Guys,
I hope you're all having a nice day!
Apologies for not posting on the blog last week....

As you are all probably aware of by now, we will be meeting each Wednesday at Lucy and Brendan's house at 7.30pm, unless we are having a social night. For this reason, from now on I will only be posting social events on the blog.

Our next social event is 'Fish and Chips at Dee Why' next Wednesday 25th (depending on the weather, lets all pray for sunshine!!). We'll discuss getting there/car pooling etc. at LG this week.

See you all tomorrow night at Lucy and Brens,

Have a great day,

Hello Young Adults!

Thanks for a great year of life group - thanks to everybody for attending our weekly get-togethers, and thanks to Lucy and Brendan and Alex and Andreas for putting up with us in their houses every week!

We have no more planned meetings for the rest of the year, you have Wednesday nights off for a while! But if any of you want to organise a movie night, or dinner, or coffee, or whatever else throughout the break, feel free!

Life groups will resume at the end of January/beginning of February (I think), so stay tuned for further updates until then.

Well, I hope everybody has a wonderful Christmas and New Years, and until then, see you at church!

Love Sal

Passage of the Day

2008-10-27T22:11:00.002+11:00

"...pay attention to what I say;

turn your ear to my words.

Do not let them out of your sight,

keep them within your heart;

for they are life to those who find them

and health to one's whole body.

Above all else, guard your heart,

for everything you do flows from it.

Keep your mouth free of perversity;

keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

Let your eyes look straight ahead;

fix your gaze directly before you.

Give careful thought to the path for your feet

and be steadfast in all your ways.

Do not turn to the right or the left;

keep your foot from evil."

Proverbs 4: 20-27. (TNIV)

Now, a survey of previous events indicates that you're all absolutely shocking at RSVPing, but can you PLEASE have a think and let me know on Tuesday what you are bringing and whether you are coming the following Tuesday to the potluck, because I am busy and do not have the time to be chasing you up all week. If you are not going to be at Lucy and Brendan's, then please leave a comment on here or call me or email me to let me know whether or not you will be coming, so that we know how much food is required and what everybody should bring.
