CHRISTMAS isn't Christmas til it happens in your heart..
sorry i havent been updating in a while.. intended to update at least once a week! forgot to wish u guys merry Christmas! hope everyone had a blessed Christmas, and you were able to bless at least one friend with the good news of Jesus Christ this December. how is ur progress with the GoFish card?i've got a confession to make. i can't remember where i put my GoFish card! arghss.. i'm just soo absent-minded. but i do remember the 3 names i have written down. and they are constantly in my prayers. i'm very happy to have the privilege of seeing God working in one of my friend's life. shall call him X. i first started talking to X about God maybe one year ago, at that time he had a lot of questions about God, questions sometimes even i myself found hard to answer. X grew up in a Catholic school and his father was catholic, so he kinda knew a bit here and there about the Christian faith and about God, but he just never really believed. he was very antagonistic and had a lot of problems with the idea of God and suffering etc... i started praying for this friend, that God will change his heart towards him and that he might come to see the truth one day. i tried to share what i knew about God to him, brought him to the ravi zacharias talk "Man cannot live without God", gave him books to read (Lee Strobel's the Case for Faith), daily bread, encouraged him to read the bible and seek the truth for himself... yet at the end of the day i knew that nothing i could do would save him; only God could. so i committed it to God and told God that i had already done all i possibly could... now i had to leave the impossible to Him. and now the impossible has happened. God has somehow changed X's heart. he is reading the bible regularly now and started going to church!! there was a point in time when i really thought that all this would be mission:IMPOSSIBLE because X is just simply antagonistic at everything that i tell him. he just wouldnt listen.. but i thank God for how He answered my prayer and how He's been showing me that truly with Him, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. all we need to do is be like Mary, have faith and believe in His promises.
have u been praying for ur frens on ur GoFish card? is there any thanksgiving u'd like to share? do drop an email to me ok? for those who have not seen any progression or opportunities to share, don't be discouraged. i believe that God is sovereign and he will honour and hear your prayers that were offered in faith. He really works in amazing ways. awesome.
this christmas, our year 1 med students blanche and eugene planned to have a carolling event to various hospitals to bring the christmas cheer to them. kudos to them for the efforts put into calling and coordinating the various hospitals (sgh, ttsh, renci and st lukes) so that we could go down. our initial plan was to use this as a platform to share the good news of Christmas to our non-Christian classmates who were interested in singing at the hospitals. but in the end a lot of them pulled out last minute. abt 8 of us met up to have practice and sang our hearts out on wed 21st dec from 9am to abt 8pm!! goodness.. that's like 11 hrs on our feet. ok la not exactly cos we had a break for lunch. it was really tiring but fun. just bringing the cheer of christmas to the patients, many of them who were suffering and alone this christmas. it was heartbreaking too, as i shook their hands and saw some weeping away. i just didn't know what to say, but just to pray in my hearts that God will be their comfort and their healer. thank you all those who came down and gave ur time and energy! it was great singing with you guys. :):)
