Yesterday was a very, very packed day. With both the good and the "bad".
The bad thing was, I was slacking pretty much the whole of Friday morning.
But the good thing was, I did quite a bit of A Math. (:
I'd left the house at 12pm to meet Joanna (my YSGL) for lunch, just to talk. I was a bit late, and that was bad. But oh well. The talk was.. insightful. I'd poured a lot of my current worries to her, and she made things a lot clearer to me. We'd also discussed about some God's Dunamis (my YSG) stuff. Thank you Joanna, for agreeing with what I'd decided to do from now on.
My relationship with my family (especially my parents/mother) is quite strained lately. From the start, my mother wasn't too keen on me attending GAP meetings every Friday night. (See
It's only Friday, Sunday's coming.) After much consideration, I have decided to be on a hiatus from GAP until I finish my 'O' levels. After all, God said to "honour your father and your mother". And there are also some other things that my close friends know about, so yeah.
Since the rehearsal I was supposed to attend was cancelled, I spent the rest of my time until 5pm to do my homework in the library. The good thing is that I have finished A Math (well, those that I know how to do, at least).
At first I had arranged to have dinner with Sam and Ellie (Elliot), but then I couldn't contact Samantha so I wasn't sure if she could still come. Hence, when Ellie called me, I had to cancel dinner with him.. ): I'm still so sorry Ellie, it's like pangseh-ing you at the last minute! Sigh. So yes. I went back home to have dinner, then went for GAP!! :D
I had a wonderful time at worship, and sharing about my week and many of the things that were troubling me. Adriel then shared some personal stuff with us as well, and another great testimony of God's amazingness. After Sandy's sharing of the other stuff we should pray about for YM, I went to pray with Samantha, because we had many things to pray about together. (: OH YES! Halfway through her sharing, I'd mentioned that I had brought Passion and Purity for her, because I just felt that I should bring it to lend to her; it turns out that she had been looking for it for AGES, looking high and low for it!! It's seriously divine intervention, really really. It's so cool how God works! Hahaha (: We were all high after that, all the way until much later.
After more sharing and finally praying, we skipped back to the main room where we then had worship again, and the whole GAP group (Samantha, Stacy, Ellie, Ben Lau, Josiah, Andrew, Adriel, Amanda, Glenda, Jolyn, Ronda, Wan Ping, Jolynn, and a few others) all went off to have supper at Kopitiam. By that time, Samantha and I were quite high, hooking our pinkies, happily swinging our arms while singing 'Our Song' and leaving the others behind. So the whole train of us trooped into Kopitiam to chat and have supper. Before they went to get their food, I found out something which then made me sad (or sadder than I was initially).. but oh well. Stacy was trying to make me eat something although I had refused to at first. But she couldn't finish her popiah, so I had to eat it. And Andrew, of course, came in to help as well. (:
After supper, Stacy and Samantha decided to go and buy B&J's ice cream from 7-11.. (like the ice cream they had wasn't enough already, haha.) When Samantha suggested we sit on the grass patch outside the museum, I immediately agreed! (I was telling them about how I love sitting on the grass looking at the stars, especially in SSS, when we were at the junction near the museum.) Josiah also agreed, so the 3 of us outnumbered the sole, sad, disagreement which was brought about by Stacy. After we had decided to buy New York Super Fudge Chunk, we went back to the Kopitiam where we got the spoons and said bye to the group again.
Sitting on the grass and digging into ice cream was fun! I suggested saying "Merry Christmas!" to the people who walked by, hehe. But actually I wasn't all that high anymore. Oh well, I had tons of fun with them anyway - laughing at Josiah for being such a 'small boy', and being stupid in general.
The whole of last night is unforgettable.
As we were on the train home, I was starting to feel depressed about what I might have faced when I got home - turns out I was worrying over nothing! I really thank God, because I don't think I would have been able to bear it. After showering and nicely snuggled in my bed, I called Stacy because she'd SMSed me as I was on the bus home from the MRT to update her about anything that happened with my mom. Found out some stuff that has been happening with her too, and I'm praying for you my dear! Don't worry, God will put it right in the end.
I had called Samantha at first, because Stacy didn't answer my calls. But that was only to hear that she was on the phone with Ellie to settle some stuff, so I just waited for Stacy/Sam to call me back. So yeah then Stacy called, yada yada. After that, Samantha SMSed me to call her, so I did. Ellie was on the line as well, so we were chatting three-ways. Then Samantha had to go because her mom was getting upset, so Ellie and I called each other.
And we had a long, long talk after that. (: It's so great talking to all my close friends last night.. I'll really miss these times. (There's only $8.08 left in my phone though.. so I won't be using my phone for the whole of this month, haha oops.)
I just want to thank you all for just being who you are, and I love you all so so much. You don't know how much you three have touched me. (:
And thank You, for everything.
