::: Verse of the Day :::
I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
| John 17:20-21 |

So what Jesus is saying in the prayer is, unless we (the church, XS or any body of Christ) are in Christ, obeying the Father & working with the Holy Spirit, our evangelistic efforts are basically a waste of time. Or maybe, to put it in a nicer way, not as effective as it could be. This is something I think that ONE could work towards.

Went for megapraise practice yesterday. Its exciting to see how the younger ones are taking over in leading worship & as musicians. Still need more bassists and drummers though. Can't always have the same people playing for every megapraise. It maybe be difficult because GAS has set quite a high standard. Anyway, I was there just as a spectator/ sound tech. I was giving some of my opinions about what I knew about music. I hope I didn't offend anyone in the process. Don't know if my comments were welcome or not. :P

I went shopping before the practice by myself again. I almost forgot what it felt like to spend time alone. Had a good time reflecting on these past few weeks and decided to take certain steps to get my life back in order. Maybe to stop taking part in the coarse joking with my buddies. Or to stop pitying myself. Or maybe to stop ignoring God. Ignoring God is a very dangerous thing to do. Because you will soon realise that He doesn't need you but you need Him.

I noticed something while strolling around Plaza Singapura that I found pretty interesting. NOBODY goes out alone. Or rather, very few people actually plan to spend time by themselves. When my buddies asked where I was going before we parted, they were surprised to hear my plan. They even thought I was going to meet someone secretly. So anyway, I was taking the escalator down to the 4th story when I saw this JC girl on the 3rd story. There was nothing out of the ordinary about her except she was leaning against the railing looking down at the people scurrying about. She only caught my attention when 10 minutes later while I was walking to Times Bookstore, I noticed that she was still there with a forlorn look on her face.

I was thinking to myself, 'Wow.. this girl must be emo like me... '
And so I walked into Times Bookstore to browse, (Incidently, I bought a book called Pegasus Bridge. By the same author of Band of Brothers) but keeping notice of her every now and then. It was another 10 minutes before a bunch of JC guys (from a different JC) came by and this guy whom I assumed to be her boyfriend stood beside her and talked to her before walking off together... No one stays alone, unless they're waiting for somebody. And maybe thats what I'm doing....

waiting...
