Day after Baptism

Dear Lord,

Met up with Mike today.. As always, he always gives me headache and confusion.. lolx.. But somehow I love the way he impart his knowledge to me.. He will never give nor accept any model answer, instead, he rather let you think about it and if you are stuck or moving towards the wrong direction, then only will he intervene.. As we always have this saying, "After Confusion Comes Enlightenment".. The phrase sounds cool isn't it? Please pay royalties if you want to use that phrase.. Haha..

Thou' it started out to be very hard on myself, especially since I am too used to spoon feeding, I feel myself growing at the tremendous pace thru'out this one year with him.. Had it not been for him and David Chan, I dun even know where would I be now.. Most likely I would have been a back-slided Christian, much less getting baptised in Your Name..

I am most gladful to Mike for taking me under his wings, to impart me with his knowledge and stopping me from sliding backwards.. Althou' he will always push back the compliments to You, my Lord.. What a nice and humble pastor I have, huh?

Anyway, after that went to AKLTG, was intending to join the Booaster session on Options, but since I have BSF, had to go over lo.. While going, I dragged Grace along with me, since there was an introductory class today.. Lolx..

Nothing much happened in BSF, since as always, my brain is half turn-off by the high amount of opinions rather than what is written in the bible.. I enjoy the group thou', cos there are some interesting characters in the group.. Well, other than that, the lectures kind of turn the other half of my brain off.. Cos they are quite boring, as what they doesnt cater to what I want and hope to learn.. There is not much interpretation to the bible.. Just dry text.. Of course, this is only my opinion, dun take it too hard if you are a hardcore fan of BSF..

Then again, I am gradful to the lecturers as well, especially since that is one of the only time I have the motivation to actually read my book on How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth.. I know it's kind of bad, but I think it would be more beneficial for me in the long run, isnt it, Lord?

Anyway, today I didnt attend the lecture.. Went off before that with Grace, since she stay around my house area.. I am the one who brought her to BSF, so I should be the one responsible to bring her back isnt it? What a gentleman.. Haha..

Upon reaching her house there, we had some food, dinner for me supper for her, at about 9.00pm.. The Cha Kwek Tiao, a Singapore delicacy, was nice with juicy clams.. Thou' not the best I have eaten, but still, it should be among the top.. If only they add more black sauce..... Haha..

After the food, we went home respectively..


Now, back to prayers item..

Firstly, I would like to pray for Grace (not the one who ate with me).. After she left CCBC, I had almost no contact with her.. Lord, I pray to You that You would not abandon her.. Trials are part and parcel of being a Christian, but she is still so young.. Please Lord, bring her back to You..

Lord, I would also like to pray for SiXiu, althou' I dunno how is her back, but I sincerely pray to You to cure her.. She had been a faithful follower.. Please Lord, with you almightly power, give her a healing touch..

And Lord, I would like to pray for Mike's hometown church.. Please Lord, do not let it fold down, for it would bring tremendous hurt to Mike, even if he doesnt show it on the outside.. To see your beloved church, your home church fall apart is never an easy thing to shallow.. Lord, please dun let the church close down..

Last but not least, Lord.. Please give our church leaders the foresight and wisdom to help the church to attain longevity.. Our membership are getting smaller and smaller, and if nothing is being done, it would only take one more generation before it cease to operate.. Juz like what Mike is experiencing in his hometown church, I am not willing to see the church I call my home to fall.. Lord, if it is your will, please help the church increase in numbers.. And let Mike continue to help to bring our church to do Your Glory..

Thy Will Be Done, Oh Lord..

All this I ask in Jesus Name,
Amen
