whee cherry and me! :)

haha today was a very funny day. haha i didnt get much reading done but well im learning to appreciate the fact that the Lord has blessed me with so many things and i have so much to be thankful for. (: im still kinda worried about contract cos i know nuts about it! but as i read i am slowly 'crawling' towards enlightenment! ahaha so thats a good thing (:

haha i met manman (a.k.a alba) yesterday haha we were SUPPOSED TO STUDY. but ms alba and her busy schedule arrived at threeten, with a phone out of battery too so i sat at the cafe and waited for half an hour! grr haha no la. and we went to eat ke ai ji! haha going out with manman is a good stress-reliever cos she says the funniest things and you'll just laugh till your sides ache and you wanna die. ahahah so it was gooodddd (: but the thing i appreciate the most about the friendships i have in Bethany is the way we can just talk freely about the Lord and its just so wonderful cos its just. a granted thing (: and thats a bond i dont share with many of my Christian friends outside of church. some yes, but not all. its just different with Bethany and i love every piece of that church from the cross on the top to the basement carpark below to the people and food and everything! but most importantly, how we help each other and focus on the Word of God (:

there are times when i feel the pressure, when work is piling up and ive got chairing stuff to do, choir stuff and i start to feel a sense of weariness all ready to begin setting in. then i remember. BE THANKFUL. serving in Bethany is definitely different from serving elsewhere. serving in Bethany means youre on-call 24/7. haha kidding! but sometimes yes, but thats what the church was built for, a community of believers to help and aid in times of need. be thankful that i have a church that is so grounded on the Word of God. be thankful that Bethany has taught me so clearly the need to be rooted and grounded and steadfast in my faith. be thankful that i see the need to grow in the knowledge of God's Word and im not being blinded by all the flashing lights in the world. be thankful for the friends i have in Bethany, the love He shows me. be thankful that i am part of His special people, to be counted worthy to suffer for His sake (:

i think im learning what it means to wait on the Lord. what it means to believe that He's got everything in His hands and that i have to stop trying to second-guess Him. and in the meantime, i shall learn what it means to trust (: haha



cherry and me again! haha- i miss youuuuuuuuuuu! ;)
