on the 30th of January, a Saturday in 2004 i transferred over to Yhope... youth service of Hope. they had a special service with a musical with music from beauty and the beast. i remember a feast.
and on that day, i was kinda happy 'cos pte2 used to pray for 4 pple in vj before jitsy's birthday, and we had 5 pple after the transfer. very very sad, but happy 'cos of that:) it was me, jitsy, jiali (our ul then), lilin and yaoguo.
i had my first sheep on that day as well. with no one to teach me how to fu on pple. *faints* thank God for the essentials of fu in mandarin hotel's hotel room in august (or is it october) in 2003.
on the 18th of June, a Saturday in 2005, i will be officially transferred to the third service. i don't know how i feel, i don't know what i'll face in the future, i don't know who i'll meet, i don't know who i'll miss...
but i know that God is still there for me.
i know that a friend is a friend forever --- if the Lord is the Lord of them.
i know that as long as we keep in this race to the end of time together, we'll probably be visiting each other's houses in heaven.
i know the xinying of this transfer is different from the xinying of the former transfer.
when there is contancy in the midst of uncertainty --- that God's love and presence and character never fails us...O how comforting that knowledge is.
2 years + ago, i said that God is gracious and that to have something change my heart to wanna convert to Christianity, it must be something tremendous.
2 years later, God is not only gracious, He is faithful. and what i wld say is that to be able to stay as a Christian, it requires only faithfulness in my relationship with Jesus. tremendous as well. the tremendous love of Jesus which kept me with him.
