First and foremost......*drumrolls*
MY MIDS ARE FINALLY OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!PRAISE GOD!! Yesterday the highlight of the day was going out with my 2 darlings! Sara and Geraldyne. Out of the 3 of us, i was the one who came out with the intention to shop but i ended up choosing for them clothes and bags. "oooo...brown!ooo dots!!" Those are the only things that caught sara's eyes! Can you believe it? I was promoting this WHITE bag that i've been eyeing for months to my good friend and she bought it! And i chipped in to get it for her too!!! Oh the irony of things, but the joy of friendship. Gloria shall not be selfish. :)
i still love you sara.
It was a time well spent with the 2 of them. So i was wondering, what exactly makes this threesome friendship so tight? The new exciting places we visit? The good dessert we try? The laughter we bring into each other's lives? Cliche as it may sound, but i really think its love. The ability that God has given to us, the hope that one day my dear gera will come to know this joy that sara and i have found and it is none other than God's blessing upon us that perhaps through this close-knitted friendship, it would serve as a platform for us to do His work!!!! God is good. All the time. God is good.
I am certainly looking forward to our next date! =D
2 days ago, as i was waiting for the bus to go to my all time favourite Siglap Coffee Club in an attempt to study for my Econs paper 1, i met this really friendly lady at the bus stop! Well, i was holding my book and going through all the acroynms in my head and this lady disturbed my train of thoughts. hmph! However, it was worth it. She asked me for directions and started talking about how tired she was as she constantly has to meet clients, in fact, she was late for one already. My first thought was :"goodness, this lady must be really tired out to even talk to a stranger!" So we started talking about rest, things we like to do, and i shared about how these are short-term. What can be more beautiful and peaceful than being home with our dear Father?! Didn't get to share the entire gospel to her, but i guess dropping hints may get her thinking. :)
Death gets people thinking. Some feel extreme loss when their loved ones are gone. Others get abgry at sudden death. Then there will be some who wonder if there is a heaven or hell. After life? become a cockroach for not accumulating enough good deeds? i remember when i was in primary school, my form teacher would always remind us to do good deeds, then we'll get a tick on the right hand side. If we choose to ignore, then we'll get a cross and when we did, we'll see if we have more ticks or cross and that would determine if we go heaven or hell. I was conned in believing her. POK!! haha. The fear of not knowing where you will go after you die physically gets 2 people whom are close to me worried about death. Have they heard the gospel? yes. Yet, they can never bring themselves to accept it, and accepting that our Father is a JUST God. As much as it brings them fear and they know what can free them from this bondage, hey just can't bring themselves to accept it. They may ask a million and one questions. Honestly, i wasn't able to answer every single question, BUT, would being able to answer all their questions give them a stronger understanding and grow to desire and love him with all these knowledge they are acquired?
I shared with dazzerika that this is a burden on me as i find it an urgent matter that has to be shared. In my anxiety, i also want to remember that it's not my timing, but God's. Trust in Him, be obedient, and have faith in Him.
OF COURSE, if you want to find out more, come for Youth Alpha on the 14 July!!! Come and have your questions answered, your doubts cleared, and first class food! :) So exciting....
i know i have only blogged about one thing. i shall continue soon... :)
