Today half of my better “outside” gal friends got married. It just goes to show how old we are all getting. Anyway, it was nice to be able to just rush down in time to see the pastor pronounce them husband and wife. Like really.. me and yx just sit down one minute then it was done! haha.. It was also nice just cos it was over at Anglican High at all saints church.

Although I’ve known her for a good 10 years, she made a sizeable dent mostly in what would have been my mundane upper secondary school life in just 2 short years. Starting with a big smack (figuratively) on my face for attempting to cheat on a test, then I started to go for prayer meetings in the mornings with other Christians and well.. I’m sure we exchanged many conversations that I’ve mostly forgotten about. Through the years of on and off chit chats (during JC and Uni) I’ve learnt a couple of things from her.

1. The journey is more important than the goal for girls (she LOVES to tell super ultra long round-about stories about how God is working in her life and refuse to give me the bottom line when I ask for it)
2. The excitement and emotion of a christian life
3. Sensitivity

Call me crazy but #3 is really quite amusing if you know anything about her. She’s loud, emotive and very vocal about silly stuff and laughs until she cries all the time but when it comes to the important stuff she knows how to shut up, sit down and listen – most times being able to understand and offer sensible advice. That’s really cool stuff everyone should learn to do.

I’m very glad she’s found someone she can spend the rest of her life with. hahaha.. before him, I honestly never thought she’d find someone that would match. Whats more interesting than watching her become what she is today is when she starts to parent her child. LOL. that would be infinitely interesting. Okay.. some pictures of the bride and groom! and well, bern as well. heh..

Seriously, it was so epic I can’t begin to write about it.

*Added to my to-do list*

I just thought of the past week as a good “summex” to everything we’ve ever learned in the christian life. I really didn’t do much heavy-lifting this camp. Napped twice a day, late morning and afternoons because it was intolerably tiring just to be there. Think its a super challenging time each evening because the salvation of young children just wasn’t foremost on my mind at first.

The next few days that followed was just following up with a single kid’s salvation for 3 mornings. All worth it. Hope his parents do bring him over!

Next week I believe there are about 3 unsaved in my group. Shall use every opportunity to present the gospel and challenge the rest of us lazy churchgoers to more than just existing as members. Also to push for greater congruency in the various facets of our lives by genuinely conforming to the mind of Christ. Wah. so cheem. haha.. but it just means that we have to be genuine and not live double lives.
