absurdity

went to church to help out again today.
went to staff devotion in the morning, and guess many many people were quite surprised to see me.
yeap, after that, we had another staff prayer meeting for My HOPE singpore, when suddenly
this lady ran out of the room shouting with a few other staff.

we found out that the lady, aunty Emily, has a son that had been knocked down be a taxi. immediately the whole staff team got down on our knees and prayed for the boy and his mother. many cried, crying out to God to have mercy on the child. the atmostphere was so intense, i just didnt know how to describe it. the whole team was just so bonded, somehow, spiritually? they were all very supportive of each other, or at least, that's how i see it.

well, after a while, the prayer turned back to MY HOPE again, naturally. The latest news of the boy, Shuan Li , is that he is in Changi Hospital, Ward 39, Bed 9. He fractured his leg, has a bruise in his brain, blood in his nose and injured his gum. he's starting to feel the pain and fluid is coming out from his head. (latest from Joy).

this is one situation that i can relate to what SP Vincent shared this morning during the devotion. one of his points was about God's Sovereignty .even as this is happening, God is still the sovereign one. no matter how we feel, be it doubtful, worried, scared, confident, happy, anything. God is still God, God is still the one having full control over situations such as this. God is the God of our lives, no matter how we feel.
yea, and lets continue to keep this family in prayer.

after the whole scene, we went back to our offices, and yeah. everything started getting hectic. i was supposed to call parents to confirm some missing information, but, natually, i felt scared. really wana thank Joy for taking two calls for me. she's bored to death anyway, since her PSLE is over today. and the staff in the room i was in were really nice people(: they encouraged me to call the parents and one shared that she felt the same way when she had to do some calling for the chuch. yeap, nice people(:

the whole table i was using was scattered with forms. work was quite stresed i guess, but Ben did a lot more work. some stuff just takes some time to get used to. but i was quite happy that i managed to key in data entry for around 13 children yesterday. thought i was gonna die finishing just one.

yeah, but overall, it was fun working in church. especially is you work hard, you get the sense of achievement at the end of the day. i guess, when the work gets tougher, we have to remember that this is for God, and we are serving Him.

guess im going back tmr, after school.



________________________________

the whole purpose of me bringing up the idea of this is so that we could bond, and become closer to each other. im extending my hand over here, but i can tell you're just not fully oppening up. i guess i'll just wait and see. another three weeks till your turn again.

God, i dont want strife in our group, or even this team. take away how im feeling now, Lord.
Be the sovereign one over my life again.
amen.
