had much to think about today. God really knows how to work His way into our thoughts. we can't escape it.
kinda not prepared to lead bible study this afternn cuz i thot my partner was gonna lead. so i didn't really give it much preparation and thought. so anyway i only knew like 15mins before i left home tt i had to lead cuz she was sick. there i was kinda going to church with a teeneey weeny bit of dread in me, knowing i didn't prepare my bible study and still had tuition to think abt. throughout the journey to church, tried to pray for God to quieten my heart and annoint my lips to talk sense to the girls.
bible study session was ok i guess. what was more important for the girls i guess was their sharing. the baring of their hearts to talk abt things that made em sad. how they encouraged each other, after having experienced the same sentiments before. no idea how the topic led to them poping the question: you're so old already, how can you not have a boyfriend? time to get one before you're too old! gosh, fancy that coming from 3 sec2 girls. hahah ok lah, as usual i'm fine with my maritial status and singlehood. what tickled me was the way they put it to me. it was in absolute shock that i'm ok with it at my age. amusing how sometimes little kids can be mature in their funny ways.
so after tuition, i poped back to church to check out practice for tmr's youth service. two of my girls were supposed to be backup singers. somehow there was some misunderstanding between them. to cut the story short, they cried and got me sniffing too (not surprising since i'm a tear barrel who cries juz looking at others cry) tried to get them to be buddies since last yr but it didn't seem to head anywhere. to top it off, one of them was going to another church. this means they're gonna see less of each other. have always been hoping that they get back to their good ol' days of fun n laughter, where the girls had been so close. i thot all was not gonna be sunny, then came today's 'crying' session. they've finally cleared the air. hugged each other in tears and smiles. it was a huge load off my heart. sincerely hope that this wld spell the end of previous prejudices they had and the start of the beautiful chapter of their sisterhood. really cheered me to see them huggin each other. they were my two most promising kiddos who were growing in the Lord. they were and they still are.
i guess when you're a discipler, you really are burdened to see them grow. on my way home, i just kept thinking of how i can use my time to help them mature. to give em my time n love. yeah you get the idea. God really spoke to me through the girls. never amazes me how they can teach me such simple but great truths. in a way i'm convinced that it was God's plan that my partner had her stiff neck, and that i had to go lead bible study. He knew that i'd go to youth service practice, He knew that i had to handle that sticky situation, He knew that it was time the girls had to resolve this before they can't see each other.
