What a weekend of revelation! Listening to JJ Lin's Sixology now! I received it during yesterday's gift exchange. So happy!!!! I wanted to get this album but due to $ constraint, I didn't. And guess what? It was from Weijie. Hahaha. He got my gift for gift exchange too! but i think not very useful for him leh...or maybe not. Haha. Body Shop eye gel mask for the gift exchange. cos most are working adults who need to destress at home. :) Btw I'm trying out if paragraphing my entries will make reading easier since the words are soooo tiny! The My Hope dinner was great because we had great friends who were so opened to our hospitality and our sharing. :) I'm amazed at my ability to share my testimony yesterday in fluent MANDARIN. How cool is that? Prayer that is coupled with faith does wonder indeed. I'm so proud of myself!!! And today, I found out something which blew off so many of our minds when we heard of it. Hear already hair will stand that kind. LOL. Anyway because of yesterday, today's service and cycling fellowship, i really believe in SEASON. God is so divine, and He divinely appoints people to intersect at some point in their lives. Amazingly, i listened to AR Bernard's "Chasing Donkeys" BBG message just yesterday, about how we are going through the mundane in life, but at some point our life intersects with destiny and bam - something divine happens. Then today i truly witnessed it personally. Wow. I used to only know what is "season" but now I'm starting to understand it. [Warning: Wordy post ahead] . I realize...the phases in a season is actually longer than i initially think it was. When I praised God during Cgm testimony time for financial blessings, now looking back, i realize the maximum harvest hasn't arrived yet. More is to come. It is still flowing and it's even more abundantly than ever before. I'm looking at blessings BEYOND myself. I'm looking at blessings coming into my family. My dad, mum, brother, aunts. It makes sense anyway cos if the family is blessed, I'm blessed too right? Hee. And God provides even in this time when my grandma is sick and hospitalization costs are great. And i believe God is slowly making my family members come to realize the only way to prosper right and healthily is through working hard and righteously. :D End time wealth transfer! In the area of reaching out, I have been giving up way too early. And because returns on investment one person alone is actually taking up a longer time than is perceived/expected, I should be reaching out to a BUNCH of people, not just one by one. In short, expectation management darlinggg! . And today during service, while lighting up the candles, I was bothered by a question which I always had at the back of my mind. If we are to be like the light on the candle, then does that mean we are also very vulnerable? because the flame will easily be snuffed out when the strong wind comes. But I got my answer this morning. And that is YES- the truth is that we are vulnerable to imperfections like the candle's flame, flickering from side to side. Anytime there's a strong wind of temptation or distraction, we may just be snuffed out anytime. But there's another dimension to it that i didn't think about in the past. And that is i'm not alone! There are thousands of people who are shining like me. If one's flame dies out, you can turn to your neighbour and he/she will be more than willing to help rekindle the flame of your candle. That's what Christian friends are for! To encourage and serve each other so that we can all become light of the city, despite our weaknesses. :D . And today Pastor Kong mentioned about how God never wastes a talent and ability. That really struck me deep and it's going deeper. Pastor mentioned that a painter will never paint with the purpose to keep the painting in the storeroom. No painter would do that because every good painting deserves the right to be admired by art lovers! This plus AR Bernard's message on Chasing Donkeys is somehow directing me to somewhere. That's how i felt in my spirit. Sometimes I think I'm too idealistic to dream of becoming a screen writer someday. Yes, i've been thinking about that option. Honestly, i don't know how that is going to work out in God's equation. I'm still praying about it. it's totally different to make it a hobby and to make it my profession. But one thing i know is not to kill the idea straightaway before at least reading up more on screen writing, and attempting to equip myself with the relevant skills. I initially thought that writing scripts is simply something that will keep myself excited and to allow myself room for creativity in this stifled-up society. I have no thoughts of allowing my scripts to entertain other people. Yet, after hearing Pastor's words on the Painter analogy, i'm beginning to think if this interest for script writing is more than what it seems? I have actually borrowed books on screen writing from library and it's so interesting to me. I have the sense that it is something i can actually do. And how many people can actually say that if they do not have the creativity for it? So yeah. And the other part is craft. Which can be acquired with diligence. I feel like I'm in one-fifth life crisis. LOL. I realize it has been going on since i stepped into Uni. Tsktsk. I've got so many "weird" things I wanna do! It's terrible having passion for that kind of things cos being a good Singaporean, I am a low risk-taker. Totally. Oh God. Need you very much.
