Abba Father

attended forensic science lecture today and those gory real life pictures really made me nauseous. it was amazing how God used those slides to speak to me.

"If those wounds were gross, can u imagine what Jesus went thru on His way to Calvary? those slashes that He endured were way beyond your imagination. the difference between Jesus and those people on the slides.....Jesus chose to go thru it. those people didnt. most of those people you saw on the screen was being assulted, murdered. as for Jesus, He chose to bare your sins, to go thru the sufferings for you, that today, you're able to call me Abba Father."

sieze every opportunity!

Friday 18th Aug 2006: Ended Lab and was walking off with 2 labmates. the girl asked me what i was doing after that and so i told her i'm meeting this non christian girl who emailed crusade wanting to find out more about Christ. am doing G.I.G (Group investigating God) with the non christian girl. my labmate went "oh! so you're a Christian? do you like pray before you eat?" and i replied "err, yea i do. why?" she went "oh! really? so interesting! i've never seen anyone done that before. only saw it on tv."

she turned to the other friend and asked him if he's also a christian and that labmate said that he's not. he's unsure if he's a buddhist or a free thinker. then he went on telling us that he is really interested to wanna know more about the differnt religions. he reads his dad's buddhist manual. he even walked into a mosque one day to get the free leaflet that provided him with more info about what the religion is all about. at that point, i asked him if he has read a bible. he said no and so i asked him why and what's stopping him. he claims that he doesnt know how and where to get hold of one. i asked him if he's got one, will he read? he said yes at that very instant. told him i'll get him one the following monday!

it's so funny how God creates opportunities for each one of us to bring forth His good news. i know i didnt do much at that point in time. i didnt preach to them. but i know that i seized that opportunity to give that labmate God's word. yes, i gave him a bible on monday. i know that God's amazing and that He works thru many ways. i dont know (yet) how/when He's going to speak to my labmate, but i know that i've done my part at that point in time. i may have sown the seed but ultimately, it's God who grows them. [I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So that neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 1 Corinthians 3:6-7] i'm glad that God caused me to be senstitive enough to Him, that i didnt just let that "opportunity" slip me by. :)

met up with the girl who emailed crusade who was keen to do GIG. the supposed 5mins meeting became an hour. she was asking quite a lot about God and stuff. seriously, i was really scared cos i didnt know what to expect as it was my first session of GIG. went to meet her by faith. told God all i needed was Him cos the girl whom i'm meeting wants to know more about Him. was praying and asking God not to "pang seh" me! =p really thank God for his wisdom and annointing. it was a good one hour. she read a bible quite sometime ago and i suspect she read the KJV. it's really those "olden day english"!! she said that it was so dull, boring and she hardly understood what was written and so she "threw" it aside. told her that there are other versions and asked if she was keen to read. she said yes before i can even finish my sentence! and so we arranged to meet on monday for me to hand her a bible. and yes, i met up with her and passed her the bible already. am intending to give her a call at the end of this week to see how is it coming along.

it's been a really exciting journey with God. really! my heart's burdened for the lost. those who've yet to know Him.

Lord, You've placed that burdened in my heart. i pray that You'll con't to keep me close and sensitive to You so that when You call, i'll be able to hear You. keep my focus on You and only on You Lord. In Jesus Name, Amen :)

chance or God's plan? i believe, the latter :)

Thursday 17 Aug 2006: helped out with registration for Campus Crusade for Christ Freshmen Vision Tea (FVT). was sitting outside of the LT waiting to register any latecomers. at that point in time i was already really tired. sitting on the bench and leaning against the wall. 2 freshmen came of the of the LT asking for directions to the nearest water-cooler. gave them directions but they still seemed really blurr. [emphasis again: eugenia was really tired. didnt even feel like moving!] just felt that i should just get my butt off the bench and bring them to the water-cooler. and so i got up and walked towards them. as i open the door which leads us to the stairs, a passage came to my mind. [Matthew 5:13-16, Salt and Light] I didnt understand why that passage at that point in time though. as we were making our journey to the water-cooler, i started introducing myself to them. they did a brief intro of themselves as well. as we were making our way back, i asked which church both of them are from. it was only then that i realised that the girl is a non christian. was taken aback as i didnt really expect a non christian to be attending this FVT. asked her why she's here and she said that it was her friend (points to the guy next to her) who brought her here as she was interested to find out more about Christianity. as i was suppose to meet up with a non christian girl the day after, i asked this girl if she's interested to join us. sadly, she couldnt make it. i offered to meet up with her the following week instead, and she gladly agreed! sensing that she's not local, i asked if she's staying in hall. she said she is and when i asked her which hall, to my amazement, she said HALL 9!

i almost fainted. God's such an interesting God la! like that also can! =p i mean, it's so amazing how He planned it step by step, from me being an usher, to me doing registration, sitting outside the LT, to bringing the 2 freshies to the water cooler and then the conversation. i've yet to meet up with her. started by sms-ing her to say Hi and stuff. i should be arranging to meet up with her one of the nights next week in hall! keep this girl in prayer pls? thankies :)

Lord, hold my hand and lead me on :)
