i remember how mr seet used to tell me not to carry the world's burden on my shoulders.
baptism.
what a sweet sound to this word. witnessed the baptism of ying chao and jennifer today! woohoo! praise the Lord! i so wanna get baptised. i have this secret desire to get baptised before i go to london since i started fantasizing about studying overseas. effectively, it should be august. public affirmation of my faith! :D felt a tinge of pride as my cell sisters entered the baptism pool. the angels must be throwing the biggest party and rejoicing! as i ambled home basking in the soft glow of the moon (ok larh. today got no moon. :D), i was thinking, sigh. i think i have to wait for fifteen centuries before i get baptised. faithless? you'll be the judge. i know that at least one day i will be baptised. and with this, i shelved the thought to the back of my mind.
when i was home, my sis went " EH EH EH come here i show you a sms"
"from who?"
"fang siang larh."
fang siang is my jie's cell leader.
"haha why. she scold you again arh."
" no larh. you come and read larh."
her sms went" dear, i think it is time for you to step into the waters of baptism. yada yada. (ok i can't remember the back part.)"
-gasps-
and then i remembered one of my sister's friend saying that God said that by the end of the year, our whole family will be baptised. i thought that it is ridiculous because at that juncture, mum was violently allergic to church. let's do some simple math. you see, i'm flying off in mid september. so, effectively, the only month left in the year is AUGUST. o Lord, is this what you want me to do? i scared. :( but i want. :) seems difficult.
JIE! DO SOMETHING! QUICK! and don't pretend you never read this! YOU DO!
anyway, as i was strolling home, i was suddenly thankful for the roads we have. thank you Heavenly Daddy! :) i am grateful that we have roads made of tar and an excellent drainage system to the extent that floods are seldom heard of. i thank God that we do not have dirt/soil paths that transforms into sticky gooey mud that cakes the soles of your slippers. i thank You so much for the established transport system in singapore, albeit slightly costly. at least there still is transport. :) i appreciate the cement in place of the soil. thank you soo much. amen!
praise the Lord!
o Father in heaven, i thank you soo much for the good dreams you give me! and in the name of Jesus Christ, i reject the bad dreams! i'm scared, Lord.
me.
