Just like Jon's nick, "Lousy Dinner, Great Conversation", had a good time of meeting up with him over dinner at BK. The food was not up to our expectations, his fries having some green stuff on it, while my onion rings looking very healthy as the colour is very pale. However, a fruitful dinner where we spent time sharing about certain stuffs and gossiping about certain people (wahahaha...). I was just kidding. We don't gossip. =P
A few takeaways from our conversations was to pray for certain growth in our CG. He asked when was the most memorable CG/WG meeting I ever had, and all I could think of wasn't so much about the outings that we always have, but instead is that one particular meeting which my COPYCATS WG gathered at Galvin and Dorothy's house. We gathered not knowing what to do except to have a "as-usual" type of meeting, plus Tze wasn't around that night and we didn't know what to do as we didn't plan anything. I picked up the guitar and led a few songs, but those few songs didn't just end there, it went on to a time when the whole WG just spent the whole night praying for one another and those whom we have missed from WG, singing for the whole night unto God in worship. I didn't see that happen in my WG before, and it was the only night that I saw God moving so powerfully in my WG (not that He doesn't work at other times, but just not so visually). It wasn't about me and the guitar, it was God whose presence that worked through the WG that night. That was the night I enjoyed most about WG because God was there, we can find joy in His presence. Jon said something very interesting, "It isn't about feeling God but feeling what God is feeling".
Prayer...
It has only been a week since I last told my nephew not to lie to me, but he did it again. He was intending to cover up about certain things, forgetting that his uncle (yours truly) haven't live the past 20 years not knowing how a kid thinks, or not knowing the loopholes in lies. I told him that it will just be the one last chance I would be giving him. The next time he lies to me again, he can forget about talking to me or asking me for anything plus I will ground him at home on weekends too. Sometimes I do not know whether he did listen to me, or just pretending to listen and will forget about it the next morning as if nothing happened. I do not want to spoil him, but I do not want to be too firm on him either, plus I'm just his uncle only. Somehow it is still disappointing when such problem surface again, especially when I really hope and pray that he will change...
A good day to spend some time praying tomorrow I guess. My long-awaited off is here! Shall have a small break and meeting up with friends these few days before I fly off to the island for 3 weeks of training.
Frankly, I was still having doubt if I should meet up with Jon while I was walking to IMM to meet up. It was the first time we intentionally asked one another out for dinner, and I was having some headaches on where will our conversations will go, or whether will there even be a conversation at all. Haha, I enjoyed this evening with this brother after-all I guess. Thank God for the opportunity =)
