Sunday, January 28, 2007: touched
today at church the childrens minstry staff was sharing with us about crossroad kids, also known as the children's sunday school programme every sunday. she spoke of the prayer requests card that they give out every sunday to these children at crossroads, and these kids will fill them up every week, and the prayer ministry in church will tend to these requests. some of the requests ranged from the really silly, eg, God i pray that my tooth will drop, to the really serious, God i am worried that my parents will get divorced; God i am thankful for the friends at school, i am also worried about the people that bully me in school. i dont understand why they bully me; God i would like to pray for my daddy's finger and that you take away his pain; God i am worried for grandpa's tumour.
when i heard all these innocent prayer requests i almost cried. when you think about these kids, how they so earnestly believe that God
Will
reach out to help them, how they trust that God is always by their side no matter what, How they are so certain that God will help even their what may seem so silly and straightforward prayer requests, i feel so touched by their faith. no wonder Jesus said
"let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these" in Luke 18:16.
anyway, i must say i really missed subi church. i miss seeing all those familiar faces. i miss running across the hall with jeannie in tow and screaming "ahhhhh!" with arms wide open to greet people after service (: i miss everything about it. oh well, now i'm back. (: 10 x 4 = 40 more sundays to go! hahaha. i pray i will be useful this year and serve somehow in church!
joash is in school now. the past few days have been quite hectic, going around helping him get his uniform and books and stuff he needs for his new room, and the lazy bum just has no opinion, all he cares about is just about his maplestory. haii. oh well, at least i get the internet all to myself now! i can watch all the youtube i want without interference from him stealing the net away from me. MUAHAHAHAH. its just a little quieter now though, and now i have to off the lights all by myself! :S (my brother sleeps later than me so he usually turns off the light! and i just sleep first.) blahh.
the weather forecast says the weather is going to improve in the next few days! we get more sane temperatures next week! the past few days have been so hot! like 38-42 degrees, i tell you! we can cook eggs on our heads and have it for lunch! :\
meeting andy, nat and esh tmr and furniture shopping on tues! (: excited! ehehheeh :D
a shout of praise.
