*Identity of my friend has been kept confidential
I was talking to my friend on MSN recently, and I only found out from him then that he used to go to City Harvest!
Admittedly, I haven't been in City Harvest long either. Cherie asked me to go along with her to the Saturday services at 3.30, so I just went along since it's been quite a while since I last went to church.
And I'm glad to say that I'm going to attend City Harvest regularly from now on, no more being lazy and all that crap. I've got to be more disciplined now! :)
To Cherie, I'm not sure if you'd be reading this, but I just want to say a big THANKS to you for bringing me back to church!
Whoops I've digressed.
But anyway back to the point, I was more than surprised to learn that he's Christian, because in the past 3 years since I've known him, I've never known that side of him, and he's never ever mentioned Christianity, as far as I'm aware.
And he told me that he's thinking of going back to church now that he's got the time(he's currently serving the nation!).
To be really honest, I was really stunned by this, because I'd never knew that he went to church. But genuinely, I'm glad that he wants to go back to church! :D
From there, it was just talking about Christianity, church and other random stuff. Especially since it'd been quite awhile since we last talked.
Saturday's service was good, Pastor Kong's preaching somehow felt very impactful to me. Maybe it was because it kind of reflected how sad I'd been feeling lately, and the fact that things haven't been going my way.
His words gave me more confidence, and made me realise that there's still hope for me, as long as I don't lose heart. :)
In a way, Pastor Kong's preaching was very similar to what my dad's been always telling me(he goes to church more regularly than I do). Especially the part when he said that God is never early or late, he's always on time. :)
How true this is, indeed.
