hey people guess what. you wont believe this man. i dont even believe it myself. haha.

youknow. its like we're all back from camp and yeah, we all got refreshed and stuff. i went to eat lunch, then went home. typed some stuff, then went to sleep, went to tuition, came back (abt 10.30pm+) and typed more stuff haha. then suddennly i feel like listening to some praise/worship songs and just nice meirong was online so i told her to send me some. at first she cannot find. so i was rather disappointed. but later, she send me like 23412419 songs please!

anyway was listening listening. then suddenly my friend. this guy, he was my primary school classmate and we used to be so close until he had to migrate to america to study. so yeah. he talked to me and was like asking why the hell i still awake now. its like abt 1.45am+ then we started to talk talk talk abt all the crap...from english homework to holidays to languages, to appearances then tuition, ambition and all that. then suddenly i heard God telling me to share Christ with him.

me: huh? me? here on msn?!
God: in camp you asked me to use you what.

then i was like thinking how to start like say what. then i just say "are you a christian" even though i know he's not. then i ask him about his spiritual life...and he say he dun have. haha. i was so worried that he would think im some spiritual freak but God keep telling me to dont care and share. so i did. and that time i was playing some worship song so the atmosphere was slightly there. he told me his aunt and uncle were christian while the rest of his family are buddhist. then his aunt and uncle couldnt tell him why they converted and he suspect that its because they convert to be "fashionable". so sad right.

then he say he hate to be bugged to convert. then once i saw that im like "shit, god how?!?!?" later he hate me.. anyway then he was telling me one day he walking on the road and a old woman took out a bible and bugged him to convert so he dun like. then its like we've been like talking about all those surface stuff and suddenly god talk to me "hey! start to share about Me! dont beat arnd the bush!" then i also dunno what to say so i somehow just managed to ask him whether he want me to explain...i was so scared that he'll say no or like "sry gtg. bye!" or smth like that. but he dint! he said he'll love to hear abt it. and he told me he read a bible and dun understand.

i was like, oh man, God. you better help me later i dunno what to say. and i guess God really did. all the lessons from the camp helped and everything. so i started to talk abt genesis like the creation of the world, then adam and eve... i was like thinking, God, must i go into abraham and isaac and jacob and joseph and moses all that?!?!? but i never lah. haha. that was abt like 2.40am++. but i was wide awake.

Gigaman2003- i lost a piece of string once.. : well theres something i really didnt understand
Gigaman2003- i lost a piece of string once.. : i remember some kind of fight and then something about corrupting people's minds to not beleive in god
Sand ; : oh.
Sand ; : that.
Gigaman2003- i lost a piece of string once.. : why did they say that the other gods were fake and were the other releigons in the world?
Sand ; : its a complicated thing.

hahaha. but nevertheless, i tried to answer to the best of my ability. and all those ancient stuff abt the bible which was buried in my brain all surfaced and i practiced WORD OF WISDOM =D !

he asked me alot of questions like jesus is the son of God, not God, so i had to tell me him about God, jesus and holy spirit being one thing... so thank God that i learnt who the spirit was in the camp. it was like 3am when i started to talk about the crucification. ITS DAMN SCARY I TELL YOU. and its like everyone's sleeping at home. and im the only one awake. i turned on praise song so its slightly louder to cover..other noises. and there were so many flying insects! and its like 3am. someone said jesus was crucified at 3am or 3pm. and right then i was sharing about it!!! AND I WAS DAMN FREAKED OUT PLEASE! so coincidental. then i dun dare to look anywhere else just kept sharing. eeek. damn scary.

he asked me alot of hard to answer questions like why did jesus pay for their sins like, he has no one to pay to and everything coz he's god too. and everything aiyo. but the spirit was with me so yeah. i was doing well. then suddenly we were talking about baptism and stuff. yeah. i dunno if he was really interested or he was just like ying chou me or smth lah. he asked me how does one get a baptism? im like...errrrr..churches organise water baptism and everyone who wanna go will go.

hahahahhahHAHAHAHhahah

then i went on about the bible again. about resseurection and all that. great commision and all that. and the great commision really cleared his doubts. so yeah, he said now he knows why he has been approached. he used to think those people were just annoying. i felt soooo wow when he said

Gigaman2003- i lost a piece of string once.. : heh so i finally understand why now

then i share abt eternal life and judgement day... then guess what- he told me that he heard some christian songs and dun really understand. so guess what! i think God really planned everything well. meirong's songs came in time! it was about 3.30am+, and i sent him one way. and its like ultra big 5000k+ and i was like wanting to sleep alrdy and the transfer rate was slow, i was like Oh, God!!! but i perservered on... isnt it amazing?! if i hadnt asked for the songs from meirong i wouldnt have anything to share! God is great!

and i told him that it was really nice that he'll listen to me. coz im not like very good or anything but yeah. he still sorta understands and said

Gigaman2003- i lost a piece of string once.. : hey i enjoyed it

wow. what joy! he agreed to let me bring him to church when he comes back from a short break. so yeah. praise God. havent met him for a long time. then we went on abt random stuff and FINALLY transfer finished and he told me the song was not bad but that it repeats itself too much. i said coz its the chorus. HAHA. then he told me he's listening to taking back sunday and he did smth i hoped he wouldnt do but i know he will - he sent me the song. AND ITS LIKE THE TRANSFER RATE WAS SLOW ! and i wanted to sleep! but i perservered on so yeah. and guess what! like left 500k, it said TRANSFER FAILED. like what the hell right! so much for perservering!!!

anyway before he sent me again, i quickly said i needed to sleep. that was like 4am+. yeah. can you imagine. 1am+ talk to 4am+. and that 3am crucification thing. wooo. i was like, finally.

you know what actually i dont have the gift of evangelism, in fact its arnd the bottom of my list but God helped me and gave me a breakthrough! amen! people always say they find joy in serving God, but i never really understood it. coz i always thought a servant was like, youknow. and i have lots of pride and ego sometimes so yeah, i find it kinda challenging to humble myself and serve Him, but guess what! i did it in the end! praise God! and i reallly really dunno why but i felt so much joy sharing. i had my door closed, so when i opened it to go to kitchen to get some water i was so scared some angel would stand at the door to tell me stuff. but i opened the door and it was all darkness. HAHA. random yes i know.

anyway yeah. God changed me, so He can change you too! have faith!

im waiting for the day- when my that friend stands in the front of nexus, saying the Sinner's prayer. and i know, if God can make me evangelise ON MSN, He can make my friend convert, and soon enough, HE will be the one bugging people to convert. AMEN!

God also gave me a picture- my PBL group, before we discuss and do the work we said a prayer, after we finished working, we said a prayer to thank God for the time and everything. isn't it great? imagine every lesson in school, before the lesson starts, the teacher initiates everyone to pray, and the whole class starts to pray in the Spirit?

it has been a long post, shant BUG you more!

holding on to you. 4:51 PM
