maybe not using the com for like a LONG time, makes me feel like blogging. (:
i dunnno. thankyou LORD for so many things.
when i was young, i used to wish for brothers and sisters, cos my bro always made me play by myself, i always thought of how i'd act if i had siblings. how spoilt they'd be. but very well mannered at the same time.
after doulos, i think i got the hang of wad being a sister is about.
when min and yan whine, i'll laugh to myself. cos its quite cute. (: like thru out the trip there were definitely those times. and yesterday, during jyc, yan left her bottle at one of the stations, and she went, : "mandaaa, i cant find my bottle, can you help me find it? pleassseee."
it always starts with a LONG mandaaaaa and ends with a soft pleaseeeeee?
mmmm. (:
anyhow, ive been reading passion and purity, by Elisabeth Elliot.
you know this missionary couple who were in ecuador, the husband, Jim Elliot, a modern day martyr, who was killed by the greatly feared Auca Indian tribe there, but his wife didnt hate those who killed him, and her forgiveness brought about the acceptance of the gospel.
its a really good book about how she waited, and obeyed God for 5 years, and then when she finally got to marry Jim, he died after a year.
its quite sad, but its a very encouraging book! about how God puts you in circumstances, to let you grow. i mean there was this sentence that meant so much.
how would we learn to submit to the authority of christ if we had nothing to submit?
YEP YEP. GO READ THE BOOK! it makes u think really wisely!
ANYWAYS, the highlight of yesterday was that i found out taking cab COULD be a good thing (: . i got in and told the uncle to go to bedok corner. and he asked me if i was going to church, and i was quite surprised. and he started telling me how nowadays all the young people are going to church. and i told him going to church isnt just a young people thing. - i mean, look at uncle jason, he just accepted christ not long ago! anyhow, after a long chat, the uncle told me if GOD lets him strike toto, then he'd believe in GOD. so i shared my testimony in LOUSY chinese to him. hahahah. whatever. at least i spoke chinese. :D
i told him about how i just came back from cambodia, and how the people there lived, and that money really wasnt everything. and i told him about doulos, cos doulos appeared like ONE WHOLE PAGE in the chinese papers. YEP, i didnt know how GOD would impact him, but i hope by showing him how much love we can give, he'd come to see why i believed in Jesus!
