TruthMin Youth Training School
Truthmin Youth Training School (TYTS):
When I first heard about it from Carol, I got pretty intrigued...I mean like, if I can't go anywhere in the first 3 months of 2005 why not go to TYTS? My prelim results were real stupid...so I started wondering if there was some kinda Bible course thing and then eventually gave up my search by the time the holidays started. Then Carol passed me the TYTS brochure and I got psyched. Like woooooo psyched!!! But then I told myself to put it aside cause my dad isn't a Christian..and though my dad is really great about the rest of my family going to church and all, it's like I didn't wanna ask him about TYTS cause my brother's in NUS and preparing for a missions programme and my dad asked him like a couple of weeks back why he kept reading the bible and stuff during the holidays cause it wasn't like he was gonna be a pastor anyways....so that got me seriously disturbed..Anyway how stupid I was to not trust in His providence cause eventually I told my dad about TYTS and he said OK. Just like that.Still I'm thankful cause I learnt from this that I have a bunch of really great friends that I could count on and that prayed for me (: And I guess this is the first step to missions. A couple of people kept telling me that they've never seen God work more miracles than in the missions field. And I think that's true...cause God is crazy, God is mad, God is absolutely loco...and you know what? We can be loco, crazy, do stupid things and just be fools for God too. That's the best thing about being a Christian, you can look like a clown to the world but have the reassurance that at the end of it all, if you are being a fruitcake for Jesus you get the final reward. :)
The story of the lost wallet
Okay people who know me well enough know that I am just about the world's most careless person. Anyway yesterday I was on my way to meet Eve, Cheryl, Isaac and Josh and then left my wallet in the train...and this point I'm thinking, "OMG I'm never getting it back." But anyway decided to report the loss to the control station and the guy was pretty helpful and got the staff from the other stations to go in and do a check...while waiting I was seriously scared but somehow I was reminded to pray so I prayed and prayed and prayed and then this guy calls me over again and says, "I'm sorry we can't find it" and so I'm like disappointed but was still a wee bit hopeful and gave him my contact no. and things like that....so he let me out after paying an additional $1.30(grarr)...just as I stepped out Cheryl called Eve to tell her the MRT station at Chinatown called her to tell her about a lost wallet (apparently Cheryl's number was in my wallet (:)!!! So my brother who happened to be coming down from his place on the other side of the island picked it up for me at Chinatown and passed it to me (:Sooo here I'm thankful for God's crazy ways again and him blessing me with friends to keep me company while I'm all flustered and worried about my wallet. Alsoooo my great brother who's such a blessing. I mean, how many people have siblings that would travel from one end of the island to go pass you something!?
Merry Christmas everyone!
