today was really a test for me man. a test on how much tolerance i can take. guess wad? i didnt manage to go for service today, thanks to my bio teacher. heard it was 'the' service, and how God spoke to each and everyone in that auditorium through a song sang by Pastor Shirley. can u believe it? my bio teacher refuses to let me go for church,
but allows my classmate to go for tuition!!! and its like, he just asks her lah, i have to beg and plead to no avail. oh man. i tell u i was so SO
SO mad i really felt like just taking my stuff and walk outta the lab. i even told her, reason out with her, and that see wad happens if she trys stopping a muslim from going for friday prayers. ah!! dont care man. oh well, really have no idea why God didnt let me go for service today. i told myself not to get angry man, darn devil cant get the better of me!! haha. oh well.
arrived at church abit before the end of the service. was too late to even enter lah. so hang out around hope stall, and peeped at the 'He Choose the Nails' by Max Lucardo. hmm, have it at home on my desk, yet to open it up. haha. its really good i guess. so met the guys and went over to starhub center. couldnt go for second service coz we had DMM, CG evaluation, celebration of Luke's birthday, and farewell to Ruizhen whose gonna hop over to YWAM. Gideon kinda slightly screwed up the schedule, by being overly caring. haha. i think the farewell party for Ruizhen was very well done, and she had this pillow with the pillow case with all our pictures on it, the JC ministry pictures.
after that we had our short DMM, then this sister came over and asked me whether i was from peichun primary. erm, haha she can recognise me like 4 yrs later? i really couldnt recall who she was. well anyway, DMM was kinda short and brief. Project 1:5:2!! oh our target for year end, 30 for the JC guys. its kinda like a faith goal lah, but i believe if we work at the rate we were working during July and stuff, hitting 30 is no problem!! infact we can even surpass 30 people! haha. so fast man. Christmas is coming!!
after all the meetings and evaluations, i realised that i couldnt possibly make it for tuition, so went with Matthias to Junction 8 to stroll around. haha. like sort of a mini-shepherding lah. ate at Mos Burger and talked bout stuff. walked to Life bookstore and talked bout stuff. haha. basically we kept talking bout.. stuff.
well anyway, as walking back from Junction 8 kinda did a short evaluation bout everything that has happened. i really do wanna give thanks to God, for erm.. EVERYTHING!!
"Lord I stand in wonder,
Of the sacrifice You made.
With mercy beyond measure,
My debt You freely paid."
it's times like these, when u see that all your friends are studying with every available time they have. And the question aroses, 'Why are we wasting our time going to church and CG, and doing our QT." well, remember the 'a Christian who happens to be a student??' Serve God to your best, study to your best, and God would certainly bless you!!
oh yeah, and erm.. Kutless: Strong Tower is really really GOOD.
