From the last entry till now, many things happen. There are many things tat I wanna say here too! But time is short and I guess I'll jus mention 4 things here on this entry. Firstly, I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST! Finally! After 3 tries. Ha. I think the tester wants me to pass too. Thank God for letting me pass! Circuit was finally well done though my warm-up in circuit wasn't good. On the road, my route was cut short too. No need to by-pass any hazards (: and everything was smooth. Thank God! Mm. Yay. I can finally drive! Hopefully my dad will let me drive soon! Though it also means tat I need to find the time to drive in the day too. Ha. Secondly, I wanna thank God for BSF. Yesterday's BSF was grrrrreat! I was very much encouraged by all who shared. Sharing how God allows a way for them to go to BSF, how God see them thru this tough year (for the individual) of BSF, what was it that they learn through the study of Matthew. Thank God for speaking to each and every one of us through His Word and through the systematic study of the gospel. I also went out to share! =) Haha. It was really scary because it's standing in front of SO MANY ppl and sharing in front of many ppl--my age and older :S Was quite nervous initially. At first I wanna go up with just pointers in my head but I learned my lesson from the past experiences n went up prepared. Putting some pointers on a scrap paper that I had. So I shared about how I can use what I learn in follow-up, how the parable of the Sower spoke to me (Matt 13), how the Signs of the End of Age impress on me (Matt 24), application qns on amputations, reflection qns, thanking God for several things including a chance to serve in usher and I ended off with Matthew 13:23. "But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." I read it out loud and slowly, hoping to create an impact in all who listened. And after reading the verse, I said that I hope the study of Matthew and all that we learned wld fall on good soil in our hearts :) Well said? But it's also my true prayer. That as we reflect on what we've learned, I hope that we wld put it into action and yield a great crop of harvest =) I hope my message or rather the Holy Spirit's message through me wld have an impact on some ppl. And the nxt year's grand sharing, I'll be prepared for it! =) So here and now, jus wanna thank God for His faithfulness, guidance and speaking to me through the Word and the Holy Spirit as I went through 32 weeks of the study of Matthew! Thank you God! =) Thirdly, I just wanna say that there are 3 things of nature that always touches my heart so deeply: sunset, flowers, moon. Often, I'm jus so captured by sunsets. The different colours that are created, the clouds that reflect the last few rays of the setting sun, the pink/red/orange sky and not to forget, the incredibly fast speed of the sun setting below the horizon...it's just beautiful! flowers, especially roses, captures my heart too. Having always loved flowers, it's needless to say that flowers touches my heart too. Yesterday, my DL gave each of us a stalk of carnation. Man. I can't stop looking at it and touching it throughout my MRT trip home. Ha. Lastly, the moon. I know it sounds strange but I can jus stand by the ledge and stay there just staring at the moon. And as I walk out in the open, my head will automatically look up and there! the moon wld be high above me. I just get mystically attracted to it. And everytime I look at the moon, it's like a reminder that God loves me. I guess it's a pact between him and I. That the moon is like a personal symbol of representation of His love for me. Whenever I'm down, when I see the moon, I'm lifted up as I'm reminded of His love (: Fourth, and the last, I just want to say that I miss Khalis and I'm sorry that I wasn't able to talk to you nor call you the past few days though you tried to contact me. I'm sorry! take care man and hope to talk to you soon! --------------------------------- |
