Today God blessed me in a very interesting way. I was at Blk 800+ bus stop waiting for bus 293. I was listening to a podcast when i saw these 2 junyuan lower sec guys. God prompted me to approached them, but i was....simply.....lazy! haha. i boarded the bus and realised that they were right behind me. But i just acted as if i didnt see them. Then at the next stop, a springfield guy board the bus! I CHOOSE to ignore him too. The excuse that i gave was that he looks plump! OMG!!! I'M SO SINFUL!!! *sob sob...... (I repented le! =/ )

Soon, the bus was turning into the Blk 700+ area. As i browse through the view outside, i saw that there were a bunch of SPRINGFIELD LOWER SEC GUYS at the basketball court!!!! Honestly, my very first thought was " I see nothing, God!" Then God prompted me to alight at the next stop and get to know them. But i was so scared as i dun not have any surveys or paper with me! Thus, i started to reasoned out with God, telling him all the excuses why i shouldnt go down. But God gave me the ultimate question- DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE SPRINGFIELD GROW?!

"...y..e...s....", i replied with tons of guilt and fear, as i already gave up on the previous 3 guys.
" Show it through your actions then!" God simply put it across.
i was totally dumbfounded. =X. In the end, at the moment when the door almost closed, i quickly rushed out of the bus before i turn back on my words. =x

As i walked towards the basketball court, i was thinking of how to approach them as i was not equipped with surveys and papers. So upon reaching, i sat at one of the side-benches thinking of other ways. I was looking at them playing when suddenly the ball flew past me and one of them ran towards my direction. God prompted me to asked that guy whether i can join them, but i was questioning god whether it's the right time. So........ i gave it a pass! But the truth is that when you are in God's plan, you can't run away! The ball flew past me the second time and this time round, i knew i got to ask!!!

"Hey, can i join you all? Since you all are playing 3 vs 4." they all looked at one another and then agreed! (just for info, i dun really play bb= i cant really play well!) HEEZ.... So i joined them to play, 'barefooted-ly'. Guess what? within 10min into game, i realised i had 2 BLISTER on both of my foot but i still carried on with the game with slippers on which was not really comfortable.

However, in the end of the day, I got all of their no!!!! hahaz. they were all very responsive, esp 5 of them!!!! We sat down after the game and just talked and slack! SO COOL! Really thank God man!!!!! 7 contacts!!!! WAH! =)

Hey guys and galz! Sometimes, we may be afraid to do certain things for God. And i wanna congrats you! Cos it's perfectly NORMAL!!!! Sometimes serving god is just so scary as we always got to step out of our comfort zone and face the unknown! But, what differentiate normal christians from christians who do great things for God is that though they fear, they are willing to simply take another step of faith and say "God, though i'm scared, here i am, use me!!!"

During this CG08, you can choose to just let it be another evangelism activity. But of cos, you can also choose to let it be the most memorable period of your life, by choosing to step out in faith and do things that you nv try before; going to places where no man have gone before! The choice is up to you. Hope to see you at the end of the race man! take care, jia you!=) - yi qin
