Fruitful day spent with many people

亲爱的神 Dear God,
Hey, I'm blogging again. Today I was out for the whole day.

Today I went back to school, thinking that there is CCA orientation open house. And guess what? There is, but my CCA's not involved! Sianzzz~~~! So, I was in the library complaining to God. I complained for 7-8 mins then nothing more to complain regarding that le(I gave myself maximum 10 mins to do so). So, I used a little more time to move on from what I complained and I felt better after that. I then went around the library looking for my CCA people I saw earlier on, cause thinking since I'm already in school, might as well talk to them and use that time to PURPOSELY get to know them la. Haha.

But I couldn't find them but saw Greta instead, a PU3 girl in one of the Science Classes. We talked and she explored my phone's functions. We also read her 8 Days Magazine together. I found out many things about her:

1. She neither takes Art nor like it though she's rather good in it
2. She's in Science class
3. She never really fantasize about those kind of Prince Charming thingy when she was young but she mentioned something about her being materialistic lol
4. She actually has a church that she doesn't go regularly due to lack of discipline to wake up
5. She's quite opened to God.
6. She's REAL serious and FOCUSED when she's reading the magazine lol

Ok la, so let's move on to what I did in church today. After leaving the library I went home, showered etc. and left for Holy Communion duty at Nexus. I was blur and took train to the City Hall side instead-_-" o_O

But because of that, I ran into Kester at the Somerset MRT station. We talked a bit and then I rushed off first for duty, I was late cause I took the wrong train ridE! Thank God for Kester, cause although he'd had soccer training earlier on, he still came for service and was earlier than that! :) :D

In b/w the travleing, from my home to school; the duration I was in school; from school back to my home and from my home to Nexus, it was rather fruitful. Though I woke up early today and made a wasted trip to school but I got more time to spend and talk to God. God used this experience to show me the advantages of getting up earlier. (I ususally wake up at 12+, 1+ on sats.)

Back to my HC duty, yup so I rushed there and me, Sandy and Karen did duty together. Joanne and two other girls came later. The first duty I didn't and couldn't really get to talk to the 2 new girls in our team(also never try a lot la, Lord, I repent!), also cause I needed to rush the HC elements for 2nd service and PM was starting!!

Came PM and service, and Emily came! Yeah! But what's a bit saddening is that during service, she told me at the Christmas service, she was pressurised when I asked her to receive Christ. Well, what can I say/do? That was what I was thinking and thought that I'd reaped the consequences in pressuring her. I was quite disturbed throughout but knew that I'd repented over it and prayed over it again cause now the consequences was before me and felt disturbed. It was only through the 2nd/3rd praisse song that I really felt my spirit uplifted and myself really praising God. Ya. By worship time, I was able to sink in God's presence and spirit as well casue it started good in praise! :D

Aloysious and Jenna didn't come for service. I don't know why. Aloysious said they'd come but neither of them turned up. Quite mindful of that but because God said to love my neighbour and not to judge others I did aexacytly that and very sure it was out of my mind.

Today's sermon super applicable! 许多神父讨论的论题，之前的前几天神、主都有先告诉我。I was like thinking, Oh man, God spoke to me many of these stuff just recently! So applicable and that made me pay even more attention to Pastor Ben. Thank God that when it just started and I was thinking it's old stuff which I already knew, I prayed over it and asked that God help me to learn new stuff from the old stuff too就是温故知新啊！God surprised me because the rest of the sermon, majority of it were new stuff.

The sermon...Wow... It's powerful and I know that God wants to grow me greatly through it as well. Pastor Ben went through 13 character factor of an Overseer and 1 skill-related factor in total. WOW. Of the 14 characteristics, I thought I'd need to grow in many of them. But I thought that "Above Reproach" and "A good reputation to non-believers" is what I need to apply most. But I still wanna pray and seek God for what is most important right now, especially since he wanna grow me in (family, CG08, MI CG08, 'A' levels, Equipping myself as a Worship leader and for CG08) many areas.

After that, went for HC duty again and we managed to finish it by 5.05pm. Super fast, like we'd barely stepped inside and then we left la! Thank God for everyone who came(all the team members, except Sandy cause she has to accompany Wendy) and it's God's plan that he sent the 2 new girls not other days BUT today. Why? Cause we've got shepherd's meet today at 6 pm!

I went for Shepherd's Meet and ate out with the PJ and MIJJ(Matthias, Yong Le, Kester, Wendy, Sandy, Me and MH) people after that. And we were able to bond, though it was quite spontaneous. I talked to Kester a little, sometimes really think don't know what to say to him, but thank God that I did try and it wasn't so bad la lol. Yong Le and I talked super a lot la, lol, cause at the KOPITIAM, we coincidentally(OR not? haha God made this happen la)sat opposite next other.

We moved on to KFC and I left soon after eating there also. I choose to eat KFC though I've still got sore throat. Lord, Pastor Ben and the church prayed for my healing during service, I believe I'll be fully healed tomorrow, Amen!

Basically, today though I wasn't able to do any revision or homework as planned but it was very fruitful cause the time I've spent was on and with people and really enjoyed it at certain times haha.

Thank God for another opportunity-filled and fruitful day.
