Had lunch with Jack,Vips Boon Wai and Pastor's family today after packing up the old church office.It was funny how pastor Patrick just cant seem to get my name right.......he kept calling me Marcus!!Kathleen was so adorable.She kept hugging Boon Wai's leg the whole time....and she seem pretty much afraid of Jack.Must be his looks :P .Also it was quite an awkward lunch we had.Mainly because Jack and i were super paiseh to take much from the table(cos we didnt pay anything) and pastor Patrick was flooding Vips with the "so *erhem* who are u interested in......in church?"question. Me and Jack imediately made an mutual agreement that we would cover each others back when it was our turn to face that question.Fortunately enough, Vips took the whole time denying question after questions,so by the time he finish denying,we we were all leaving the restaurant(btw vips was lying his way through...and pastor aint no stupid guy,he knew Vips was lying).The ""question"" never reached us.Jack and I couldnt be happier.

I'm not so keen on going back to kuching anymore.....i will most probably be wasting my time there doing nothing.I hate the feeling of doing nothing with ur life while watching other lives go by.And that is exactly what kuching is about.I've learn that every single live around me mathers...wheter im in zion or in kuching or in america or in africa, and i cant take it just sitting down and watching promising lives get torn apart by our worldly culture.i use to think that(and wanted to) as long as My life is good,My life is fun, My life is save and secure...I'M alright and nothing else mather.I'm surprised to see the changes in myself over this yr...i'm surprised how i ever changed,and all this happen because they were people out there that were willing to get out of their comfort zone,willing to go the extra mile and willing to put aside their self interest for the sake of others, in order to reach out and to evangelize.God straighten out my life right before me.I wanna make something out of other people lives.I wanna share the joy i have,the love i found and the grace that was given to all of us through the blood stain nails.I wanna see hope in the eyes of others,love in their action and them having faith in the word.I wish i could do all that.I see how Gen manages the cell,I see how Vips has been blessed,i've seen ben ho recover from kidny failure,i've seen Kiew grew in his faith,i have seen how Pei ren has change as a person,i have seen how Jack struggle with language,swearing and forgiving but he perseveres,I've seen Bang learning and trying his very best to help people,i've seen wei yue controlling his temper and his attitude,i've seen many others becoming cell leaders and are all effective in their cause.I have seen all this in 1 year, i've seen the impossible become possible,i've seen and witness myself the power of prayer,and after personally witnessing all this i'm being challenged right now.He never forces his will on his people,instead he gives them choices and solutions.And so the biggest choice in my life now after knowing,seeing and witnessing the truth is ; am i going to sit back and pass him by or am i going to answer his calling and put my doubts,hurts and troubles in his hand and take a huge leap of faith forward and make a difference in someones lives knowing that dependance on him is another word for power .I'll choose the latter.One more for Jesus
