Testimony

On February 29, I was lucky enough to go to Planet Wisdom. Though I could not stay for the second day, I learned quite a lot from the analogy of a potter is to pottery as God is to His creations. Like the process of making pottery, we experience the steps to become a successful person, and to do that, we have to obey the Maker. Pastor Don always says that when you believe in Jesus, your life will begin to change and it is because once you let God be in your life, God will start to shape you into the person that He has always planned. So if you were rock hard, He will give you mercy and love to make your clay useful again.
As I listen to Mark Matlock explain the analogy, I wonder off into my own questions. “What exactly does God expect of us, of me?” “Is going to church not enough? Is just praying not going to cut it?” I have changed a bit since I have started to believe in God; I started to pray more, not just before eating. But was this not enough?
It isn’t enough, and it leads to the next step. After learning so much about God and Jesus for years, I hadn’t gone to the next step yet, because I don’t like anywhere other than my own comfort zone. That is why I want to serve at the Taiwan Mission Trip. Right now, I am still an unfinished pot that needs a task. What will I do for God; what can I do? I want to use the time at the Taiwan Mission Trip to show all the kids and adults there that believing in Jesus is a glorious thing, and I want the kids to know that I was in their position before, all rowdy and ignorant, but now I am a good role model, and they can become one, too.
