Wow.. Christmas is just tomorrow! I guess to many people, it's a time for recieving gifts, exchanging greetings and, rather important to many children, the company of some fellow by the name of [Santa Claus].
Not to me. Of course exchanging presents is fun and all, but we do still have to remember the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas is an important turning point for the whole of Mankind. For many many years, the Jews have been waiting for the long awaited [Messiah] that would supposedly liberate them from the Roman rule. Yet when the [Messiah] came, they rejected Him and sent Him to die. So I guess Christmas does have a sad twist to it.
Somehow, I am ashamed to say that this year I haven't been very enthusiastic about this festive season. I don't know what it is but many things don't seem important to me anymore. Even my birthday; doesn't seem like a big deal. Just another day to live through. I really hope I am not cultivating a apathetic attitude in myself. Not much can be done about this. I think I'll just try to forget about it altogether.
Helped out at [Children's Corner] today. Acted together with Amos, Nathanael and Wesley. I was a ******. Won't say it here. You'll have to ask me personally. But I guess many people know already. After that we went up just in time to finish singing at YP. Then we were divided into four groups and played some kind of kicking game among each group. Quite dumb but yet, it was fun. Haha..
After that each BS group sent their own members to share about the past year. RenAn and I went up lor.. He wrote a poem seh.. So pro right? I just went up and shared on a preparation of about 10min. So you could guess that I didn't do very well=P Hearing all the people that shared reaaly caused me to give thanks to [the Lord]. He has brought me through thus far till I'm at the threshold of the [great battle] that lies ahead. I'm sure He will carry me through.
The Christmas Eve service was at night. It started off with some singing then came the choir. They were magnificent. They sang so beautifully. Not being sarcastic here. I'm serious. The message? Erm.. You could say it was not as interesting to me as the choir presentation. But hey, thats just me.
I'll end here. Got to sleep. Have to wake up early tomorrow. Going to have to drink lots of water too. Getting rather [heaty]. Heard that? Drink water!
