Super Sunday!!

I left for church at 10.30 a.m. yesterday only to arrive home again at 11.00 p.m. What a busy day, haha.

I arrived late. By the time I was in that cinema-setting church, I had no choice but to sit alone. But of course, I spotted some friends sitting a few rows in front, and others were Dew Crew people running around their duties, video cams in hand. Anyways, Pastor Dr Philip Lyn was the guest speaker sharing on The 6 P’s to Crossing That Bridge in the Wilderness by Faith here. It was a very emotional few moments of introduction as he shared a video playback on the incident that happened to his daughter, Sarah, 4 years ago, how she faced death but yet how the miracle working God was so faithful to him and his family for preserving her life. At that very moment, my heart went out to them. I knew how they felt, for it was the same verdict that Sarah and I shared. Our situations may not be the same, but the cause was similar. The word brain damage explains it. All in all, God was faithful, is faithful and will remain faithful.

After the whole service, the Young Adult (YA) camp briefing was at DUMC Taman Megah (DTM) and I definitely needed a lift to get there [DUMC Sea Park (DSP) and DTM are 2 different venues altogether]. Indeed I was grateful because when Ps Eng Eng, the YA pastor, came by to ask me about transport, Alvin interrupted us and said he settled that part for me already. I'm surprised, grateful and speechless all in one. That was something I totally did not expect because I thought I would ask my cell members for that favour thinking that they would know how to handle me better than someone out of the cell. Truly, I am grateful that throughout my almost-two-months visits to DUMC, it was Alvin who took the initiative and “came to my rescue” in terms of my transport. This guy is well known for obliging to & going all out for others whenever there is a need. Being a Dew Crew member himself, he has helped take over duties of other members whenever they needed someone to stand in for them. Now I’m seeing it for myself! He does it willingly without complaining, even if it means going out of his way. Thanx for EVERYTHING, dude. Your reward is going to be great *winkz*

[* Great, trustable guy friends are always a plus point, eheh. I already have one currently in Melbourne, and now I’m blessed with another one. Wow *lol*]

Later that night, the members of my parents cell group came together for a farewell dinner for Uncle Michael & Auntie Choon Bae, and of course their beloved daughters Eunice & Evelyn who would be migrating to Melbourne, a journey of faith in obedience to the call of God. Having been with us for close to 10 years now, the parting was definitely difficult, but obedience is anytime always better than sacrifice. Hearing all they have to say about how the cell has blessed them tremendously was indeed very encouraging for it truly showed a servants’ hearts willing to go all out just to serve one another, to touch hearts and bless lives.

The joy of serving is beautiful indeed when we see that at the end of the day, others are blessed not only because of our love and speech, but also our actions for indeed the Bible says that actions speaks louder than words. For it is taught that the joy of serving is when we come before Him in humility and put Jesus first, others second and yourself last. Truly when it comes to Christian service, it is all about Him. AMEN!!
