had a great day today..
had a picnic cum breakfast cum lunch with my bs group plus tim burton and his wife (they were speakers at the recent punj-youth group camp).. quite ok la had a lot of food and chatted quite a bit.. but somehow i feel i am not very close to my bs group pple.. maybe it is because i joined the group quite late and only attended the last few sessions..
i also hope to be more involved in punj activities and hang out with the punj guys after service for dinner and fellowship but i risk incurring the wrath of my mum who already thinks that i am spending too much time at church and less time at home.. so i am a bit at a loss.. but i am grateful that i am still able to attend church every saturday.. thank God.. =)
attended another church today.. i will say that i am glad i went bcos i feel very blessed that i am attending a very good church (as in arpc) which is truly faithful to the bible.. it is not that the church that i went today was very bad.. in my opinion any church that preaches God's word is a good one.. and this church that i went to definitely has the ability to attract thousands of people and spread the word to many people.. so that is not a bad thing. its juz that i feel that the focus seems to be a bit off.. that it is focussing more on trusting in God's grace to achieve prosperity and health.. again tts not really wrong cos we should depend on God for everything.. its juz that i think christianity's main focus should not be about attaining things for self fulfilment.. ok la i shud shut up liao.. anw zy if u are reading this, dun be too offended k.. its a personal preference thingy.. i think doesnt really matter as long as one is sure of his faith..
on the way home i told zy that my life has been truly changed since accepting Christ.. he agrees with me that there has also been more purpose in his existence here.. quite glad to hear that.. juz want to say that knowing Christ and his work on the cross has been a real comfort to me especially in times of sadness and helplessness.. it is very comforting to know that there is a higher being up there whom i can turn to in times of trouble and that He is always there for me.. so last time i used to worry about relationships, get anxious abt cas and exams, worry abt money etc etc.. i realise now that all these are juz so umimportant as compared to the ultimate relationship with God.. i also believe that God will always provide a way out for me no matter how hard or impossible the situation i am in.. God didnt promise us an easy journey in our Christian life but he did promise us a paradise and a huge reward, far greater than any thing, at the end of our journey.. i am really glad God has found me and i haf accepted Him in my life..
i'll worship You, my God; 10:18 PM
