Another full Sunday without doing any work. That's the life I'm living, I guess...leaving everything until Monday. Two church services this morning...one got me crying a bit uncontrollably when the sermon got me thinking about what God has done in my life so far this year...the other, well, got my name mentioned in the sermon...heh. Lunch with Clarence. Home to sleep. Evening prayer meeting. Home for dinner and television, where I took yet another risk, but this time it was ok.
About the prayer meeting. It was a joint prayer meeting between the three ccf's. Initially I was struggling as to whether I should go or not, because it is a totally unfamiliar environment for me. There would be new people, and I don't know if I would have any people to relate to. Eventually I simply "faced my fears head-on" so-to-speak and just went there. Initially it was slightly uncomfortable because we were sharing and praying in English, which I never do in public, only in private. But I got over that quickly, and it was a wonderful meeting. And these people are so young! Most of them, anyway. One slightly funny anecdote...I was sharing, and I briefly mentioned the word "temptations" and didn't expound on that. After I finished sharing, Sai Kit immediately asked, "what was it that you said about temptations?" Well, I didn't say anything about it, so I could only respond by saying, "I'll leave that for later..." (whatever that means.) So yeah, it appears that people are interested in this topic, except not many people are talking about it. By the way, it baffles me how I can actually have conversations with Feng...amazing...heh.
Isn't it disturbing that there is so much parallel between my conflict with Francis and Clarence's conflict with his girlfriend?
