Ordinary? I don't think so...


LG

I was on the verge of canceling our LG meet yesterday. However, I felt the nudge not too. 1/2 our group was not around. In the end, we still met up (Kevin, Olivia, Paul, and myself). Nevertheless, it is still an uplifting meet as we explored the book of Ruth.

Ruth was an ordinary woman. She led an ordinary life. Her story was not any extraordinary than anyone of us. She embraced God even though she is not part of God's people at that time. To cut the story short, she became one of the ancestors of the great King David, and later Jesus Christ himself.

I asked us to ponder on the mundane and, what seems, insignificant events of our lives. At any point of our journey, we may question why certain event happens. And what may seem ordinary now, may well be of great significance later on. We shared our stories and later felt affirmed by book of Ruth that none of our ordinary experiences throughout our lives were actually ordinary per se.

As you can see in the picture that our LG is not ordinary as Olivia is trying to nail my head. 8-)). Must be the stress.
