Today was definitely the best day of the week. For one thing, I got out of the house!! Thats always good! Met up with the cell group today. Jeremy Gan had his first book out today. So glad that he came for cell. Really good to see him. I think I was inexplicably cheerful today. I just felt so elated that the members turned up. Not that they haven't been coming for cell. I don't know how to put it. :P Just happy I guess.

Had our first prayer session for the XS youth before combined word today. Although it was only the 3 of us (Pat, Gloria & myself), I feel that its the start of a whole new season for the XS youth. Great things can only be set in motion through prayer. I'm glad that Pat organised it because its been something that I've been having a burden for. Actually its for the whole church. But XS is a part of the church and its like the core. I know its been mentioned before, but these are the next batch of leaders. I've been praying for them on my own but its always good to come together because for the body of Christ to change, the body of Christ must desire and pray for it to happen.

Another thing I need to learn. I won't say I'm a good judge of character (I thought I was!), but I do sometimes get insights of certain people and situations. Like things that they need to do or learn. But what I need to learn is that people won't take it if you force it down their throats. Although you need to be firm and direct occasionally, most of the time you just need one thing.

Tact
Without it, people will just close up and shut you out. Maybe you do know what you're talking about or maybe you don't. But once you offend people with your words, you won't get anything out of them. Not even the chance to know if you were right or not. The lesson of the day... Although God may show me the root of problem, I need to continue listening for His instructions. It may simply be for my own knowledge so that I'll know how to work with the person in future. Most problems don't require my intervention. Its between them and God. Only bring it up if God tells me to do it.

So anyway, I met up with Matt, Jean, Ziig, Joshua, Cheng, Hafiz and Aaron to watch "Anaconda: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid". It wasn't as bad as I thought. But it was still bad... Haha. The best thing to do when you watch crappy movies like these is to laugh at the sheer predictability of the storyline. It was just so much like Jurassic Park. I was right about the monkey and the black guy. Heheheh... It was Matt's first book out too. So it was good to see him. Especially with the botak head. :D
