It's saddening to see...

I've just called m,y aunt, inviting her to come to the church to celebrate Christmas and to come to know the Lord. However, she rejected my invitation. I'm really upset by the fact that people just seem to think that the Lord is just another ordinary god and they find us, christians who are inviting them to such events, annoying and irritating. Sometimes, I'm discouraged that they do not want to come to the Lord after me putting in so much effort, persuasion and courage to talk them round to come for the invitation. It's ok that they reject my invitation, but the fact that they are actually rejecting God's love, it's extremely just so sad. I just pray to the Lord that He will continue to give me the courage, perseverance and zeal to continue to spread the Gospel, even if there would be many obstacles in the way.

LOVE IT HERE!

On thursday, I went to watch "AVATAR" , it's a great movie but I personally feel that it isn't as nice as 2012. Went to watch with my mum's friend's daughter and her friends. They too study overseas and I could tell that they love it there since they have so much to talk about. We had lunch and dinner and those meals are really FILLING. Lacking of exercise and walking in Jakarta, but never mind I will do so when I'm back in Singapore, where there are no cars for me to sit on but only brisk walking to take the public transport (afraid to miss the bus/train). When I'm there, I'll always miss it here. Missing my parents, church, cars, entertainment... These are the people or things that I can't get to be with nor enjoy in Singapore. However, surprisingly, when I'm here, I don't miss is there. (no offense, this is my blog which is = to my journal, so i'm just expressing what i'm feeling)
Yesterday, went to church for the youth christmas. The theme was "SIGN UP"(if i'm not wrong). Meaning: signing up to the ministry. Wanting to be part of God's family and be one the people who worship and serve the Lord and also be the light that shines to the darkness, bringing those who have yet to receive the Lord to come to Him and shine too! The youth christmas is really not bad... BAGUS!
Hey, actually being in Jakarta isn't that bad after all. Even if it is less hygienic, less safe, less orderly and less friends compared to Singapore, the people here are definitely much warmer and friendlier than those in Singapore. Most importantly, the people here are TRUE. They are straightforward and are just so transparent. More to my personality. Find it quite comfortable here. Getting to adapt really soon! =) Well no offense to my Singaporean friends... But i just find that Singapore is a very competent country, where everyone is so 'kiasu' and have two personalities a.k.a two-faced. I love the education in Singapore but that will never defeat the love of living I have in Indonesia.
Anyway, I got this feeling that if my parents were to really ask me to live here (this includes my education), i'll not be so sad after all, cause i believe that prayers are heard and God will continue to guide me through and i will follow Him. Thank you Lord. Even if everyone else forsake or leave me, I know You will never leave nor forsake me. Take my hand Lord, I want to follow You and shine for You, at the same time give me the courage and perseverance and strength to spread the light to the darkness (spreading the Gospel). God is indeed good, all the time! =)
