So much to say - so little time.
But for the time that I DO have, I'll say what I can. Friday was a great day. =) Like, the whole day. Ok, maybe not the part when I couldn't keep awake for the introduction of Thessalonians. But other than that, I learnt a lot. Many things happened. I think if I don't say it now, I never will.
Ok, apart from the usual class jokes which happened to be exceptionally hilarious, mmm, we went back to our old seating arrangement. Hotter yes, but there's some funny company over there.
Had interclass capnet ball, which they really might as well call 'netball' since they're using, STRICTLY, netball rules. Zzz... anyway, it was good. Lessons learnt from there too. Yes, even there. But it was before that that was great la.
Well Calista and I were sitting there, waiting, talking about God, as usual. It's really encouraging to see people like her so fired up for God. 'The thing about being a Christian is that you NEVER GET BORED LOR!' Yes girl I totally agree. Had a good talk about God. Kept asking her to speak in tongues (since I thought it was really cool to hear her speak like that). So asked Charmaine to listen. Then Emily, who went "what's that" -falls off floor to I don't know where- Told her to read Corinthians. Lol.
But anyway. We talked for a lil bout God before talking about something else. Then Charmaine asked to pray, since we were talking about God. So yeah, how could we turn THAT down? So there we were, in the foyer, hand in hand, praying. Prayed for a few things, Sec 4s having prelims, capnetball, final term, good weather... then I thought there was one more thing to pray for: Emily. (and they added Alex, so yeah)
But just before I was gonna pray, I knew I'd break down. Somehow praying out loud about things that are very personal to me just bring about tears. So anyway I just prayed with hot tears drippin down my cheeks . Very sad about some things; some things only God can handle. So yeah, just commit it all to Him. Prayer of more works better, right? No need to hide my emotions anyway. Opened my eyes to see Charmaine, Eileen and Emily crying too. Well, we didn't cry hysterically la can. Duh.
But really, even from that, a lot can be learnt la. Not the crying part, but the praying part. Even in all this turmoil, even in all these hopeless situations, it's nice to know hope can still be found. Faith can still be found. Love can still be found. And it's very encouraging. Gives me hope to press on.
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
