walking, hearing, flying, staring, breaking
We nearly walked off without paying again. It brought me back to the first time.. when I was on the bus back to PGP, and u went back to pay.. thanks for the great company pal, u always ARE great company.
as I heard your story, it blessed my heart to no end.. it really is always a joy to hear about what God is doing in the hearts of men.. and as I was on my way home today, I asked myself.. will I really be happy if I went on to work for an NGO that reallie improved the lives of children and brought hope to them and changed their lives, yet because of my job, i cannot tell the kids that Jesus loves them in the end? I probably won't.. sorry to the non-christians reading this.. this isnt about evangelism k? it's more about what I really feel and believe in my heart..
today I found out that two of my best buddies in NUS are flying off to Turkey in May on this program to work with children there. basically, they'll be spending two months there in the classroom teaching children. Haha.. YESH i'm jealous!!! haha.. but my heart is also jumping for joy at their opportunity.. it's so amazing.. haha i brought them to the meeting.. and they've already paid the 'i-agree-to-go-to-turkey' fee and I didnt even noe it!! my pals, way to go man! u guys rock! Please.. live my dreams for me.. tell me how things go while i stay here and do my social work attachment.. maybe i should really try the prisons.. so that my holiday will match up in excitement to theirs..
He spends his whole life being too young
to live the life thats in his dreams
and then he lies awake and he wonders
why can't that be me?
cause in his life he's filled with all these good intentions
he's left a lot of things
he'd rather not mention right now
just before he says good night
he looks up
with a little smile at me and he says
If i could be like that
i would give anything
just to live one day
in those shoes
if i could be like that
what would i do
what would i do
Joyce Goh appeared in my life again today. Yes, if any of you SLC ppl out there read this.. YES.. THAT joyce goh.. the one whom we all couldnt fit her in anywhere in our circle.. the one whom we felt disgusted at cos she stuck to ppl like superglue.. the one who talks weird.. the one who's so shy.. the one who has poor EQ skills and doesnt have the highest IQ in the world.. yes.. if u noticed, she's left our church. just like Harry, who hasnt been around for some time. I met Joyce, because I attended my friend's meeting in school, under the umbrella of Fundamental Christian Ministry. Joyce worships at City Harvest now, and she attends FCM pretty regularly. Honestly, it doesnt matter to me which church she goes to, as long as it's not cultic. but it does break my heart and it shames me to know that she never felt accepted with us. That she's seeking acceptance at so many other places. It breaks my heart.
She wrote me a slip of paper with all her contacts.. everything from hp to home fone to email to msn to friendster to which school she used to attend.. but i found myself folding it into small pieces and slotting it into some unknown corner of my berms.. i'm ashamed of myself too.
btw, lide n joy, thanks for meeting up with her. I'm sure u guys made a difference in her heart even tho i noe guys were super unwilling to meet her.. she kept talking about u guys.. :)
