*|Updates... Did I do the right thing?
Tons of stuff to update on provided I even remember what I wanna type in the first place. Ok here goes...
(1) Was nearly a victim of a car accident but thank God for his protective hands over Ri Xin, Hwee Min and I. Ri Xin nearly crashed the car into 2 cars. Whoa the way she managed to avoid by a few inches, I only got 2 things to say. One it's scary how we can be dead in an instant. Two, it's kinda exciting, reminds me of all those stunts in movies. Ok but that is really not the point here. I just like to thank God for reminding us how precious life is and about what our priorities in life should be. What are the treasures we wanna collect? Earthly treaures like money, grades, fame etc or treasures up in heaven? I guess God always reminds us of all these things just that we don't tend to notice and the only way God can really makes us notice is to make something big, like a near accident to really wake us up. I guess I have to really learn to listen to God's whispers and not wait till all these incidents to actually listen and understand what God has been telling me for a long time.
(2) Oh, I decided to go on a diet. A NO JUNK FOOD DIET. Seriously I am always tempted by junk food and guess what happened in the end, I fall ill. Just like what I am now. Seriously this is not the time to fall ill with mission trip coming up and it always take me about 2-3 weeks sometimes even longer than a month to fully recover. No more junk food!!! Must learn to take care of body if not might just ended up using illness as an excuse for not doing QT which I think always happen in my case. And in a way it stops us from doing God's work because when we are ill, we just tend to lie around and rest. Basically we feel exhausted and sleepy and I guess doing God's work is the last thing on our mind then, well for me it'll be the last thing. So I guess I better start taking care of my health. NO MORE JUNK FOOD! Stop me from eating it ok if you see me about to take a bite!
(3) Something happen this morning on my way to church and I am thinking whether what I did was right? As a christian, I feel like I gave the person a wrong impression but ARGH!!! I was kinda scare, I don't like strangers follwoing me and talking to me! Maybe I am dumb because when people even strangers ask me something, I always answer with the truth and it causes them to ask more. Ok here is what happened... I was walking happily, suddenly out of nowhere, a guy walked beside me. The thing is I didn't even hear him coming! I didn't hear any footsteps behind me, that can't be! I always listen out for footsteps behind me everywhere I go. Well, it be a habit if you always come home at 9pm plus or later and have to walked this quite dark and sheltered walkway which is like the only route home and well by far the safest among all the other routes but still it is quite dark and silent so I always listen for footsteps behind me and the direction it is going and the pace.
Well, I DIDN'T HEAR THIS GUY COMING UP BESIDE ME till he asked me if I buy my bag from Phillipines. No, obviously I bought it from Singapore. Of course when I answered, I answered politely but I started to feel very weird like who in the world ask a girl where she buys her bag! Hello... A GUY, GIRL'S BAG... any connection??? NO!!! Should I have not answered, Man, I am dumb. And then he go on to asked me if I am a singaporean and then he asked me if I was going to church and he started to ask about church masses and Sunday school and all that. I dunno, I mean even if the person was asking me about church and all that, I still get freaked out because firstly he is a guy, secondly he has already followed me for quite sometime and he walks beside me as if he is my friend. (THIS I HAVE PROOF, cos when Arthur ge ge drove past me he honked, so obviously Suzanna jie jie they all saw me and when I told them what happened just now, their first response was I THOUGHT THE GUY IS YOUR FRIEND? SEE!!! FOR STRANGERS HE IS WALKING KINDA CLOSE) Thirdly, he walked past the bus stop and still am following me. I started to pick up pace and walked quickly, the last time I saw him was when I turned left and walked towards church gate.
Did I do the right thing? I mean my behaviour of just walking faster and like trying to shake him off... Is it what a christian should do? I mean here is a person asking about church stuff, kind off, and there you are as a christian trying to shake him off. Will it leave behind a bad impression on how a christian is like especially since he is a non-christian. This is what he says lar but how true it is, I dunno of course. But still, I was scared. I never liked being followed by a stranger. Initially, I was on alert but after a while, I just got scared and wishing that Arthur ge ge has stopped and picked me up. I dunno why but I just got more scared by the moment. Haiz~ Sigh... I dunno I did the right thing? Wanna ask my christian friends what they will do if such a thing happened to them but I guess not, don't wanna distract them from their studies since now is their exam period and I dunno how to ask them without explaining what happened. Sigh... I guess I am never good with speaking but in writing, I feel much better, just much more comfortable with penning things down than saying it out. Hey, for those having exams, must jia you ok? God will bring you through it all!
