Matthew 7:13-14
A: The Narrow Way
B: 13
C: I will choose the Narrow Way
Today's QT's on a different passage. As much as I enjoyed myself during the camp, my thoughts kept drifting back to someone. On the way back, I had the same guilt feeling. So i wrote a short song, just to tell myself, the commitment I'm giving to God..

Commitment
According to the dictionary, Commitment means sticking to the purpose, staying engaged to your obligation, etc.
Aunty Annie brought into perspective, God's commitment to us (John 3:16). And have us weighed, what in return, are we commiting to God??
That sentosa trip (in the previous post) cost a hefty sum. I told her she could ask a receipt from the church, and she could get tax rebate. She shrugged it off and said it was for the children... My eyes almost rolled all the way back home when i saw the amount... Phew.. Enough to cover all my school fees........
Anyway, she shared this joke.
A pig and a chicken was walking along a road when they saw a breakfast sign.
"Today's Breakfast!! Ham and eggs."
"Hmph! this is what our contribution to the society is!" The chicken said.
The pig looked at the chicken, then at the sign and said,
"For you, it's a contribution. For us, it's a commitment."
I thought it really made sense, God asked for commitment, but i think most of the time, we were just giving contributions... hmm.. Time to rethink..

Children's Fellowship Camp Day 1
First of all, my job scope is.... NOTHING!! YAY!! I thought about the free time I get to just mingle with the children.. Well, I did mingle with the children, in between, i get to play the piano for singsipiration, the IT person for computer and projector, group mentor?? Hur hur, all I did was make sure the children don't get lost with the sea creatures.
Yes, we went to Sentosa. And I was as excited as the children. Because I have never been to underwater world.. Right outside the entrance, there were two pythons. Real pythons for phototaking.. I managed to touch one and i was giggling like mad, and the child next to me was staring 0.0....
And YES!! I finally got to see dolphins!!!! They were suppose to be pink dolphins, but somehow they skin had a certain blemish, i dont know whether it's due to our tropical heat or something... Sorry dolphins.. BUT THEY WERE FANTASTIC!! Again, I was so excited, but nobody's staring coz they were just as amazed but the lovely mammals..
The fun thing was they host called for a volunteer, to go to the water and to touch and feed the dolpins. Di Xuan, one of our children, put up his hand!! So brave!! He was really shy, but he did it!! Ahhhhhhh, all the children were all rooting for him, including me. And we were screaming for him.. Haha.. He got his pants wet but it's worth it. He told me later, the dolphin felt like facial cream.. I wanted to ask, you know how facial cream feels like meh??
Next we went for the 4D rides, we only missed out the last one, which involves the shooting one. But doesnt matter, the first two was really fun!! I had to sit with the smaller ones, because they were scared. A K1 boy kept asking me if the next ride would have something "jumping out". Well, i guess the 3D effects ain't such a good idea for younger children.
Anyway, i was suppose to bring a bunch of them back to church, those who were going home, and rush to my night class, but the bus broke down, so we took a cab. We were really late, because the quenes for the rides were long. By the time i reached my class, i was 1 and 1/2 hours late... Thank God my teacher let me sign in.
Today Aunty Annie talked to the youths about commitment, will share in the next post.
Oh ya... I am getting sick again.. >.<....

On the other side
There's a reason why sometimes
we struggle with certain sins.
Because someone on the other side
may have the same problem.
Now, we can say
"I know how you feel" with
more sincerity and
"Let me pray with you" with
more care.
God doesn't make mistake,
so if we ever want to ask
"Why me, Lord?"
Maybe, just maybe
He wants us to be that
someone on the other end for
somebody else.
