watched chronicles of narnia yest with the arc members. haha. it's really nice. but i felt really extra among my juniors la. all my brudders pang sey me. wah lao. shit. i sound so ah lian. haha. i suppose when u no longer belong u no longer belong there. but i'm still part of the family la. just that i have "passed away" and joined the list of ancestors.

anyway..chronicles of narnia was really good. it sort of revived the dead passion for God in me. ok. not that i didn;t have any passion for God. just not burning enough for me. i was just reminded of so many different things about God.

firstly, when all the fauns/centaurs/animals bowed to Aslan, it reminded me of the verse "every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord". and weirdly, i was very tempted to shout "AMEN! JESUS CHRIST iS LORD. ONE DAY, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW, EVERY TONGUE CONFESS, THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD. HE IS LORD OF ALL!" but that would be really embarassing and rude. but still..so much passion in me stirred up for God. i wanted to cry. for no reason. dunno why either. haha.

then, the character or Aslan reflected the character of Jesus so well. in every bit of Aslan, i saw Jesus. so endearing, so gentle, forgiving, self sacrificing. and though he is well respected, doesn't consider himself king of narnia. rather, gave it to the boy =) just like how Jesus came down and got demoted from God to man. it reminded me of how great and good God is. and it made me wonder how i admired and adored Aslan so much and, it's so hard to feel the same way, or even stronger for God. perhaps it's cos we can only imagine and not really experience or watch what happens. still, God is an almighty God and He is FAR greater than Aslan =) God rocks.

and lastly, chronicles of narnia stirred up a passion in me to serve God even more, and to stick with Him thick or thin. i want to be in the final battle with God, just like how the faun, centaur, animals and the 4 chosen ones did =)

fancy that. God taught me all that in just a movie =) that's even more fruitful than my QTs. anyway. i was on my way home wondering about what God has taught me in the movie when this question popped into my head. How come God is referred to a lamb rather than a lion??? isn't a lion more mighty and all???? why a lamb instead when a lion commands more respect and everything else a king deserves????

and during qt, i realised why while reading a passage. it's because God wants us to be attracted to Him because of love, because of who he is, His character, rather than how he looks like, his status as king, the things he can give to us. simple. =) We love God because He first loved us =)

yay. my God rocks =)

------------------------------

today's outreach went pretty well =)
it's amazing how it didn't look like a huge turnout, but the funny thing is that most of the people there were newcomers and not the usual yfers =) cool eh???????? it's amazing. i really hope to see more people coming down and getting the opportunity to know God. what better gift for christmas?????

i managed to get steffi down for yf. i'm glad she's open to the idea of yf and wants to come down. yay =)

the drama was great too. even though i watched it before. i still find it funny. HAHAHAHA. i'm weird la. but it's really amusing to watch the new parts. like how ian acted gay and all. he really reminded me of austin from project runway. HAHAHAHAHHAA.

started giving out presents once the event was over. oh man. so pai sey. i forgot to take out the price tag =S hahaha. oh wellz. nvm la. i'm happy they liked their name on the note books. quite tedious. but i like it too =) haha.

i realised something about myself. i never or hardly use whatever people give me. like, i have an entire drawer full of gifts and it's all brand new still in boxers and bubble wrap all there. i just can't bear to use them cos they bear certain memories of each and everyone that gave me those gifts. i don't want them to get all yellow and old and ugly and dirty and then they no longer look aesthetically pleasant to be kept. nope. i wanna keep all these stuff for memory sake.

and i also realised..that there's nothing i really want. unless you can give me the ability to recognise God's voice loud and clear or a really deep and close relationship with God. but i suppose you can't =(

so i realised what i really am happy with for christmas is not the gifts i get, but rather the letters =) can help u save money and it means more to me as well. more personal and more sentimental i suppose =)

anyway, i had a nice day =) merry christmas. and now...back to my christmas cum encouragement cards =))))
