    Time Event
    12:33a
    The big fat moon that hangs overhead
    As I trudged home from the MRT station, I realised the moon was big, round, and bright till it's almost white. And I've been in a nostalgic mood recently, and thus drew the following conclusion:

    Our past is like the moon. Sometimes the season isn't right, and we don't see it. Sometimes it illuminates our path. Sometimes it spooks us.

    In other news:
    My treasure hunt on wheels is going to be held in the afternoon of 20th Nov, Sat! Anyone free to come? Can blade/cycle (in fur's case, be driven by the front cyclist) from checkpoint to checkpoint and play exciting games that we all love (guess?) and to end the day, we're going to have a bbq, on my cell group's bill. *beams* who's game? Come come, support your friend who harbours a secret ambition to organise future healthy outings with all of you!!!

    I love him, but I love God more
    Slightly over a year ago, I first got to know her. She seems to be bubbly and sincere. And she said she's very open to Christianity, and in fact has been to many services while she was in Holland. Now that she's back in Singapore, I asked if she'd find a church to belong. Nah she said. She's still not convinced, and is still waiting for a you3 yuan2 ren2 to invite her to church.

    I jumped right into it and told her I want to be that you3 yuan2 ren2. She accepted Jesus into her heart as her Lord and Savior the first night she stepped into CHC. Even I was shocked.

    On the way home, she asked me why I was so shocked. Then I told her I didn't know you would accept Jesus this very night. Then she told me, no one ever asked her if she wanted that. =)

    Then I realised, when she received Christ into her life, she didn't know she had to bid the other gods farewell. "Can't I believe in God and gods?" came her innocent reply.

    One year later, she's near her Million Dollar Round Table. One night she told me, "it's a significant night, because tonight is the night I started tithing". Another pleasant surprise. And she said, "I was waiting for you or L to ask me to tithe actually, but none of you asked."

    Because to me, all these things should be out of your own heart, out of your own conviction, and out of prompting by the Holy Spirit. It'll lose its meaning if I had to ask you to do that.

    She's already halfway through Getting Started, and I must say I'm proud of her. Tonight was the second consecutive Friday she came for service (since those irregular appearances). It is a sacrifice to come into the house of the Lord to praise and worship Him, because she's taking time off her work which could lead to more deals and business. However, it is evident that God has already won her heart.

    So tonight, in the cab, she told me about her emotional baggage, and I could tell she really means it when she told me, "ya I love him, but I love God more".

    This is love. True love.

    Current Mood: touched
