I still remember you.
I remembered that faithful day, I prayed for your nose to be healed. you didn't, and I started to have sinus for my trouble.
I remembered that when you faced problems, you talked to me. I was young and ignorant, so I gave a lot of wrong answers. I'm sorry...
I remembered I didn't show care and concern for you, when I somehow knew something's wrong and the following day I saw you and I sort of gave you a bad look.
I remembered after that day...you stop coming to church
I remembered that the others went to visit you, and you said "no time"
I remembered calling you, but you cut the line and changed your email address
I remembered SMSing you, even though I know you definitely won't receive it, saying that I'm sorry to you and I'm sorry for all the wrong things/impression I gave you
I remembered you...and many moments I thought of you...
how have you been ? how are you now ? are you happy ? are you in another church ? are you serving God still ?
I don't know how to express my apologies to you. I don't know how to encourage you then, I wish I had the chance to do it now.
I don't know if you still remember this blog. I had never changed the address.
I don't know how, I don't know when, but 1 day, when we meet on the street again, will I recognize you ? would you recognize me ? it's been 5 years, how much have you changed ?
please...give me a chance to talk to you, friend.

Arise & Build 1 2010
It began in march 2010, and I wasn't really prepared. But God is good.
I started to pour out money into other people's life. I gave a meal to one of my cellgroup member. I don't remember what else I gave to, but I emptied my pockets so that 1 day during Arise & Build when I needed money God will provide a way for money to come back to me. I didn't really care if it's a loan or it's a gift from a friend, even a stranger, but I trust Him. And God is good.
In April, the first "disaster" struck. Someone sabotaged me and with it my iPod. Nobody wanted to pay for the repairs and everything. I had to pay for it and even now I am still having troubles getting them all back. I still gave to the building fund and I had no lack. The iPod came back almost immediately (within 2 days) after I sent it for repair and paid them. Usually it will take about 1 to 2 weeks. God is good.
In May, it was Asia Conference. I had nothing after I pushed out my money to give. I was literally living on His word and promises. 1st day, I had borrowed money to get past the 5 day event. I ended up spending 30 dollars on the first day. 2nd day, I tried not to spend any money and minimize all expenditure. Out of pure faith and curiosity I checked my bank account. I had 58 dollars extra in my bank account. This extra boost from AVIVA actually last me throughout the rest of the conference. I had an extra 25 dollars from another insurance company too. Praise the Lord.
And now, June. I had no idea how I am going to fulfill my building fund. I foresee that I will lack about 120 dollars. I don't know how, but praise the Lord for the GST rebate coming in on 1st July. I thought this act of charity by the government had ended since we got hit by the economy crisis. Indeed, God is good. All the time.
