Don't Waste Your Life

Life's a journey - don't forget to unpack.

Where it all meets

Perhaps then, it is at the cross of Christ that we find what we crave for most deeply in this world. Love and sacrifice, justice and mercy, faithfulness and grace. It is at the cross of Christ that all these meet, and if we dig deep enough into the core of our being, we will find that these are the things we will live and die for. - Me

To you, my reader. :)

There, look on me, so that you may not praise me beyond what I am; there, believe me, not others, about myself; there, attend to me and see what I have been in myself, through myself. - St Augustine

Friend Feature: 107 & Diana

Met up yesterday with Diana and the previous day with Eileen for farewell dinners. As I've decided that after yesterday, I will no longer meet people for dinners, but stay at home, I'm so glad that these are the last two people that I will meet up for a chat before i go.

I guess I hafta thank Hobs for introducing me to Eileen about a year ago. She's been awesome and her warmth juz radiates through her. It's awesome how we can share about God together, not just from an intellectual POV, but from our heart's resonance. The Lord has been really good to us, and given us precious opportunities to spend time together and share about our lives. She's really awesome. I really appreciate her for being such a patient listener, and more than that, being open with her emotions to share them with me. I guess even now as i type, i just appreaciate her so much in my heart.

As for Diana, haha.. it seems as though we've only physically known each other for about 5 months, but that we've actually known each other for much longer than that! haha.. little did i know that long before we met each other in Urban Youth Work, she had been reading my writing on this very same webpage!! So when we met, it seemed like.. woah! she already seemed to know me quite a bit.. hahaha.. it was pretty funny when she walked up to me in class one day and said :'Hi, you're Liren rite? Zhixiang's fren rite?' haha.. i was shocked out of my brains.. haha..

But Diana is also one person who's an awesome listener, a patient friend, and when she listens, u can almost feel the deep sense of compassion that flows out of her. It's almost like, her empathy engulfs you, that kind of feeling, and you just feel so comfortable in her presence. I think it comes from her knowledge that she has struggled before and she is still struggling, but she's not about to judge anyone anytime soon. I'm so glad i answered His call that day to buy that curry puff. :)
