DRAWING CLOSE TO GOD COURAGEOUSLY & CREATIVELY IN THE MIDST OF THE PANDEMIC
Due to the pandemic
and the suspension of the “live in weekend”, CHOICE KL (English) Team had come
up with a creative way in keeping the spirit alive in CHOICEES amidst the
challenges. They have organised a series
of talks by Mr Martin Jalleh, who has been actively involved in diverse
ministries in the Catholic Church for the past 40 years.
The third session “Paradigm Shifts” and Making Choices was held on the 28th of August 2021. This session began with a spirit filled Praise and Worship that leapt into an insightful, captivating and eye opener introduction by Mr Martin Jalleh. The sessions were creative, knowledgeable, and interactive. Those who attended the sessions had also benefited from the breakout room sessions and personal sharing’s.
The
session focused on the way we see something, our point of view, the frame of
reference, belief and perception.
Sometimes, assuming the way we “see” things is the way they really are
or the way they should be and so it is like a map in the head. A change can only happen when one begins to
see things in a different leaf. This can
happen suddenly and sometimes gradually.
The talk was indeed a very interesting concept, as mentioned in Romans
12:2 “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of
your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and
acceptable and perfect.” Hearing and
knowing the personal sharing’s as well on how one could make a paradigm shift
and decisions in relationship with others and in prayer life had given a different
dimension and understanding. It had sparked
a light and steered the hearts of everyone.
Here
were some of the testimonies, “The session was really beneficial and a great
reminder to become more self-aware in guarding our thoughts from negativity and
biasness. To spend time in prayer and contemplation in renewing and refreshing
our spirit.” Another remarked, “It
lighted back my flame that is struggling to stay bright”.
This series of talks by Mr. Martin Jalleh have
seven sessions and it will continue once every two weeks until the session
ends.
