Happy Happy Happy!

A few days after the suicide incident, We heard that the person who jumped was a member of public. A lady who was about 50 years old..It was really sad. But it really reminded me again of how urgent it is for people to come to know the Lord!
THey need to know that God has a purpose for them and life is not meaningless!!

As a connect group , Winnie, Kareeann, jasmine and myself have been praying for our unsaved friends. Today Suyin(Kareeann's housemate) and Jaborine(one of the medicine students , i think that is how you spell her name loL!) came for service!! Praise the LORd!
didn't get to really ask them what they thought of it..but pray with me that the Lord will continue to work in their hearts.

Its just amazing to see what the Lord is doing in the hearts of our friends!
As i look at the whole picture, i can't help but give Thanks to God as i see his salvation plan unfold..It helps me to also understand and feel a bit more of his heartbeat to bring every person to himself.

The harvest is really plentiful..Are we ready to be his workers?

Has my fren heard the good news?

I was sitting in class today going through a practical on the comp,
quite happy that class is gonna be over so that i can go drink coffee to keep myself awake for the next class!!

My lecturer left the class for a while and when she came back she said : Guys.. somebody just jumped down from the block next to ours , the police and the ambulance are down there now. so don't be afraid just walk the other way."
The whole class stood silent for a while then after a few moments small discussions were going on in the class. All of us started asking..was it a local or asian , male or female, why did he/she jump? and a whole host of other questions. All the questions turned into speeculation that maybe he/she had a bad break up...maybe he/she couldn't take the stress of school etc..Or maybe she accidentally fell down?? sars.....

Class ended soon after and when we walked down..the police cordoned off the area with a tape that says "crime scene" , people were trying to get a closer look but were chased away by the police and some of theUni staff. Discussions were still going on.
we walked along the other side and i had a full view of the covered body, saw some remnants of what seemed to be blood and some smashed body parts. I got quite taken aback by what i saw.
A life ended just like that.

Prob the question that i should ask is....has this person heard the Gospel??
I kinda questioned myself, what if that was my friend that has not heard the gospel before?
sometimes i think that as christians, yes we must watch our lives to see if we're living a life pleasing to God. BUT we forgot the part where Christ calls us to preach the gospel! or rather we don't see the urgency of people coming to the Lord.
It can be seen in the way we do our contact work, the effort we put in to bring our frens for events. the way we relate to them etc.
Those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ has eternal Life! thank God for that!

But those who do not know the Lord also has eternal life! BUT away from the presence of God forever leh!! How horrible is that?!? (do you even think its horrible?)

Thats something for us to think and take action on..jia you all!!
Till then..

Lonely, homesick, thinking of another difficult year ahead...sigh..

The Lord quickly reminded me not to forget that he has a purpose for me being here.

Our God is an awsome God that never fails to comfort me! through his word and through people.
