All I can say is that this Christmas is the best Christmas I’ve had, as far as my living memory goes.
I didn’t celebrate it on the actual day though, but I did manage to countdown from Christmas’ eve to Christmas, and it was FANTASTIC.
Invited my Han Jun, I made my virgin visit to Heart of God Church and the people there were super friendly!!! It was unexpectedly overwhelming and everybody was so joyful and was so willing to come forward to introduce themselves, as if you are already a part of them. At first I thought it would be really awkward, seeing that I didn’t know anybody but HJ, but I was proven wrong. Totally taken off guard. They also asked me along for dinner after service too and they kept chatting with me and everything, even asking me to go back next week, and honestly, I want to!
Surprisingly, I didn’t feel like I need to guard myself against these people. That was the part that shocked me, like really shocked me. & the service moved me to tears.
Come to think of it, the whole thing felt as if it was God’s plan. All these while, ever since I accepted Christ, I have been rather against going to another church, because I really like the cozy feeling GEFC gave, but when HJ asked me to go to HOGC for their Christmas service, I didn’t have the don’t-want-to-go feeling like I would usually do, on the contrary, I didn’t mind going. Service was about happiness and also 3 testimonies from different people about how joining HOGC had changed their life. When Pastor How talked about happiness, I started crying. With all the recent happenings for the past month, I knew I wasn’t genuinely happy all the time, and most of the time, really deep down, I am just an upset person who needed somebody to speak out how I’ve felt and Pastor How, a pastor I have never seen before, did it, and not only that, the feeling of crying it out was, good. I felt so much better, so much lighter and I was smiling, really smiling. In fact, throughout the entire sermon, I was truly happy and light-weighted. I don’t know. Maybe it is because I really felt His presence, and I could tell, all the people around me, they really love God with all their heart, and because of that, I really have the intention of going for their end year service, and even have the thought of settling into that church. At the end of the service, I love God even more than I had before, because all these while, my faith had dropped, really badly, with everything gone wrong, it was hard for me to pick up my faith again, but after yesterday, that fire and confidence came back and I felt so much easier.
Thanks Han Jun, for inviting me. I actually do believe, this would be another change in my life, and a big one too.
After Church & dinner, I met the secondary school girls for partying at Rebel/Zirca/Groove. We did the countdown at Rebel and it was mad crowded. If it wasn’t for Weiling’s friends, we probably would not even make it in. We partied for 4 hours straight and the feeling of dancing with the remixes was really awesome. Music was great, the people were great. We partied with Weiling’s friends, and the 2 guys were making sure that nobody tried anything funny, so we were pretty safe, so to speak, especially when the guys were really protective. By the time I was home and showered, it was almost 6, and I slept through to 3pm today. Love it.
& yes, I do find it weird to club after service, but all’s good. Hehe.
Probably be joining the new friends for movies on Friday and I hope it would be as good as the dinner. I really like these people and right now, it is difficult for me to want to hang out with new faces, but these people, I think they can be potential good friends. :)
Isn’t this the way one should spend Christmas, making new friends, partying the night and spending a great time with God.
Lastly,

I love you. <3
