Guest at ToastMaster

Dear Lord,

Just came back from Punggol ToastMaster Club.. But before I dive into that topic, let me talk about this afternoon's meeting with Lance..

We were supposed to meet up with this guy by the name of Winston to discuss about our internet marketing project.. Somehow that guy wasnt at home, thus Lance and I went to Thompson Plaza for a drink before discussing on our own..

After 2 hours of brain storming, finally, something strikes the both of us.. Somehow we realised that our previous planning may not work after all due to some errors in planning.. Lord, I know that it was You who gave us the wisdom to actually give up on the first initial plan, as you would have seen what lies beyond.. Thank You once again Lord..

Around evening time, went with Grace to have dinner before going to Punggol Community Club for ToastMaster..

It has been such a long time since I last stepped into Punggol CC.. It brings back tonnes and tonnes of memories.. Still remember those days where I took up so many courses there, ranging from abacus to chinese class, from acting classes to cooking class.. I used to make so many friends there when I was much younger.. It was also because of Punggol CC that had helped my family to go thru' one of the toughest financial crisis.. It was also this place where I first did my Community Involvement Project with XianHuan way back in the past when we were still in Lower Secondary, we were helping in the Mid-Autumn Festival then..

Memories after memories.. Smile and sadness flooded my mind.. Smile as most of the memories are so wonderful, sad as those wonderful days there were over.. All of us had each moved on with our lives..

Anyway, went back in to the ToastMaster room.. Was being volunteered to do a Table Topic, where participants were given 2 minutes to do an impromtu speech on the topic given.. The topic given today was about Easter..

Somehow most of them aint Christian and they did not know much about Good Friday and Easter Sunday.. Somewhere inside me, I knew I had to enlighten them on the significance of it.. I know Lord, it was You who inspired me, who gave me the courage and the ability to stand up in front of the whole group to teach them about You, about the significance of Your death, of Your Resurrection and the fact that we are saved thru' Your sacrifice on the Cross..

While my speech may not be all powerful, I am pretty sure it would have implant the knowledge in them.. Now all I can do is to pray for them, for them to accept You one day.. The seed has been planted, now, it depends on which seed will actually sprout and grow in You..

Nothing much of note, except that Grace got the Best Table Topic and Best Evaluator award for the night.. Her speech was powerful.. ><

Anyway, Lord, do continue to send the Holy Spirit unto me to do more of Your work, to spread Your Word and Your Love to everyone..

All these I ask in Jesus most precious name,
Amen
