Met Keith @ 2pm for to go Comex 09. We both woke up late and didn't even have lunch at home & so we went for lunch 1st. Went back to Comex at 3 plus but nothing really catch my eyes. for him, he already gotten his Canon camera yest which was really cool. The big lens type of camera, didn't know that he's into photography! Haha... next time go anywhere just ask him to bring.
Intended to go GenRev with Cynthia but she couldn't make it in e end. instead, i got Keith to go with me. We weren't really in e mood to continue squeezing in e crowd and we decided to go to the Rock. Since it's early we went to the arcade 1st. Bumped into Jas & robin, didn't expect to see them so soon. Earlier on, they were having great fun 'grabbing' e stuff toy for each other. He got the medium-sized Me-to-U bear with a heart full of meaningful I-love-you msg, while she got him an Elmo! =D
After awhile, we went up together for GenRev service. It's gd to see e familiar faces again. e worship session was awesome. Pastor Benjamin was really humorous during e preaching that made all of us laughed. It's a really gd session that revolves around the topic, love. I was at the right place and right time, listening to the right things.
We all learnt 2 impt words in a relationship, which are "Thank you" and "Sorry".
Gratitude gives appreciation, familiarity would mean depreciating a person. For a relationship to go on, don't let familiarity set in. Comparison comes in when there is familiarity and you will take your partner for granted. Hence, the best way is to be grateful to your partner by saying "Thank You".
In James 4:6, we understand that God gives grace to the humble. What's e point of winning the debate when there is hurt caused? Saying "sorry" would bring healing to a relationship.
I love this verse that was shared during the session: -
Ephesians 4:29 - Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary *edification that it may impart grace to the hearers.
*Edification here means build up your relationship via your words.
Pastor Benjamin also shared with us abt his 3rd childbirth last sun. It's a supernatural and spectacular delivery! He delivered his own baby at home. It's really like WOW! no knowledge of delivery a baby but everything just comes naturally. everything comes so fast that when he saw e baby's head, he just knew that he gotta deliver it. it's just so amazing!!
Every time, I will have e same peaceful feeling when I attend service. Thank Lord for feeding me with God's words which I really need it.
Keith left slightly earlier b4 service ends bcos he had to rush to have dinner and watch e concert, Jump, at Esplanade after that. I joined Jas' CG for dinner thereafter. The CG leader, George, still remembers me. After dinner, they suggested going Mind Cafe to play games but Jas & Robin couldn't go since Robin has to wake up early for work tmro. I didn't join them too. Think it will take me some time to warm up. My introvert character is very obvious here =P Hope I can be more open up and be ready to join them next Fri.
P/S Thanks Jas & Robin for being supportive. Everything is God's send.
