Journeying

My gosh I suddenly realised I am quite a shopping freak! Despite being so tired and sleepy, I didnt want to go back because I was at a shopping mall and my legs just cannot helped but walked to a shop that stated 50 percent discount. I used to not like going shopping alone but now I dont care being alone and started walking from shop to shop. I just got to spent my money somehow and I bought a box of mochi ice cream. I didnt eat it alone but I shared with my parents even though they didnt really enjoy it.

Last night had good food! Joyce's dad is a excellent cook. Everybody has been saying that first time we tasted such good food at a party at chalet. Yup it was Joyce's 21st birthday party yesterday and most of the maranuts were there to celebrate for her. There was supposed to have games but the main lead was stuck with her video. He came only at 10.15pm and managed to play it. The video was quite touching with all the pictures and messages. I do wish that I had one too but my 21 was over. It does not really matter to me actually. It was just nice knowing that people appreciate you for who you are and the things you had done.

Well I dont really always need people to show they appreciate me but knowing that they in turn can show people love, I will be happy enough. Even though those things can help individual to go on during times of despair but to me I have a few friends that constantly pushing me on and that's enough. Plus I already have a big "mountain" for me to lean on.

Why did I have such emotions? Because of what Joyce said to me last night. After we gave her the present, she came to me and hugged me saying that she feels very bad for not celebrating my 21st. She said sorry and I was quite overwhelmed by it. Hmmm and I just realised that we have known each other for about 4 plus 5 years? My gosh that's shocking to me because the time passes super fast. Memorries seem to just stuck at the years that she was at AJC, when on and off through out the week I would call her to talk. Wrong! I would say I called her to listen because most of the time she was the one doing the talking..(should have say all this in the video! But heartfelt words are always hard to say in front of so many people, need courage plus plus.) I was quite entertained by all her real life stories about herself and also just to make sure she will be back in church again after her difficult periods. It was just like when I was away but there was no one who called to talk to me beside a few messages. Even though the memorries does not seem to increase from then on but no regrets with what I have done for her seeing her journeying with the others. I do hope she can really journey with them back to Christ.

I guess journeying starts "slowing down" when that person knows Christ is worth it to go all out and starts another journey with someone who does not know Christ. Then it will be the time to let Christ take control of the person fully and for the person to journey with Christ. It will be a new journey starting.
