Going back to hwachong brings back so many fond memories during my three months spent there :) Walking along the canteen reminds me of gorging down lunch hurriedly to make it in time for CCA. Sitting at the class bench brings to mind the warm afternoons waiting for the next tutorial or playing chapteh. I had a chance to spend the afternoon with two of my friends in hc last saturday, and being back there again made me grow wistful I guess, haha.
Thanks once again for patiently listening to me talk about my religion. It must have been weird to bring up this topic all of a sudden, and it wasn’t easy for me too. It would have been much easier if I didn’t tell you guys about Christianity, but as a friend who has experienced something as great as this, it would be selfish of me not to have shared this with you all.
I didn’t have in mind to tell them about the gospel that afternoon, I intended to do so when the 3 of us go to Australia, but 传福音没有得时或不得时,总要时刻准备传。So thankfully I did :) There’s still so many ways I must improve on this, cos I tend to get agitated :( 然而主的仆人不可争竞,只要温温和和的待众人,善于教导,存心忍耐,用温柔劝戒那抵挡的人。或者神给他们悔改的心,可以明白真道。提后2:24-25
Some random thoughts occurred to me as I was on my way to caixia laoshi’s house for discipleship class. I looked out the bus window and saw some nanyang girls running, I presumed they’re from the track team, didn’t give it much thought. Subsequently the bus passed NJC, and I saw on the field were at least 3 different CCAs training for their respective sport. Didn’t think much about that either, haha. Then at RJC, again I saw different CCAs having their training, and then I wondered if they knew that their opponents were training as hard as them. At this point I was reminded yet again that God sees and knows everything that has happened, is happening and will happen. This not only refers to various parts of Singapore, but all over the world, big issues such as the tensions between countries, economic downturn, people’s suffering, jubilation, even minute things like the sadness of a toddler who just lost his favorite toy. It is this belief that God loves us which provides me immense joy, comfort and hope everyday :)
I feel a bit guilty that I've to disturb caixia laoshi sometimes late at night. She has really been extremely helpful, always giving sound advice. However this time I think the only practical thing I can do is to 不住地读经和祷告来明白神的心意。
于是对门徒说,要收的庄稼多,作工的人少。 所以你们当求庄稼的主,打发工人出去,收他的庄稼。 太9:37-38
