friends forever
I've been looking back on these past few years, and i realise that God has given me so many wonderful people in my life, i feel like a glutten to be trying to snatch them all towards me, even though it's time i moved on.
Inez: well, what can i say? Although i've known her for almost my entire life, i only began to appreciate her when genie left. She's my spiritual friend, and together, we battle cryptic passages and bible verses. Not to mention, when I are down and discouraged and BLUE, she writes me these post-it notes that really encourage me. It's nice to have one christian friend amidst the multireligious community of Nanyang, because she understands the reasons behind some of my actions, and even joins me in some of them. Like not participating in "Hungry", a theatresque production on suicide. Maybe that's why God took Genie out of my life when he did, so that i would realise what a good friend Nez was, before it was too late. These past five months, knowing that she was leaving soon, i have learnt to appreciate just what it means to have a good Christian friend. and no matter what, Friends Forever!! which is true. Even if we die before we see each other again, we'll see each other in heaven!!! That sounded morbid,but if you actually think of what it means, you'll see that it isn't. that means that if we both grow up in different continents and grow apart, we will still be able to see each other, one day! can you imagine how much we'll have to say to each other? we'll spend every friday afternoon for the next 3 decades, catching up on what has happened.
Talking about seeing my friends in heaven makes me feel all the more urgent about getting all my non-christian friends to Christ. Like the song Deborah Fung sung in church called "Eternity", i want to spend eternity with the people i love, and it terrifies me that not all of them will be there.
To do:
Speak boldly, but gently, to my non-christian friends about Christ
invite them to format X!!
