Don't be Banana! I went through an exhilarating day today....I started off the day as though I was fighting a battle with my notes and exam, which I felt I didn't do well in. But I ended the day feeling there's so much hope, so much vision, so much dream to fulfil that what it was wasn't confined by books, studies, or NUS. And I'm even more convicted in my heart there's so much more to life than just grades. Grades of course are important, but they are not as important as God, His work in MY life, and the fact that I'm living THAT out. =) It's just so exciting having God in your life. You know you're in for a big big treat, NOT trick! =) I went for Leaders' Meeting at JW tonight, and Pst Dennis Balcombe, an angmor who can speak better Mandarin than most Singaporeans (HENCE THE TITLE OF MY POST) was preaching. I mean seriously, I don't know what's with the mentality of "Oh Western things/ppl/culture are number 1, Chinese PRCs are second class citizens". Some of us may not think like that, but the way we treat them in the little things can lead to that kind of mentality.  DON'T BE A BANANA! or Jiakantang!
Anyway back to Pst Balcombe. He showed us how early Chinese Christians got persecuted and stuff...and encouraged us to receive an impartation and believe for an opened Heaven and doorway for China. The fact is that China IS opening up to be less legalistic, which is good because innocence is NOT virtue. I'm just very inspired by his sharing, and he kept on stressing the point of "Learn the language! Learn how to speak it!" I mean isn't that what Jim Rogers is saying too? China will be the next big thing. Mr Rogers wouldn't have migrated to Singapore if not for his belief that China will be where his future generations will be at most ideally right? I mean, Singapore is really....not the most ideal if we are talking about leveraging on superpowers. Anyhow, I don't want to go much into details, for it is a sensitive topic to blog about...still...better to be safe than sorry. Haha. But one thing I know is that the leaders caught something tonight in our spirits....gifts of the Holy Spirit...also an impartation; a burden for the Chinese...and that made my evening today so beautiful. =) OH, not to mention I sat in a taxi and the uncle was like "wa, your church alot of people hor?" in a tone of wonder and amazement for 2 3 times thruout the ride. And I think that was really adorable. Haha! I know he said it in that kind of way, not the sacarstic way or any other ways because body language and tone of voice tells you more than the actual words do. =) And I am good at this. So next time if you need people to discern, I offer my services! Lol. just kiddin... All in all, today was great. I participated in the CHIP study @ NUH too. You get reimbursed S$190 for participating in the study. Go check it out now! Labels: daily rantings 11:39 PM
