on friday after work, i got lazy so i just decided to cab down to john's place instead of taking bus mrt lrt walk. haha yes i'm lazy but i'm also rich muahaha :D

and even though it was the most expensive cab fare in my life ($26.80 from suntec to sengkang) i honestly don't mind. in fact i must say i felt sooooo happy when i got off :)

when i first got on, the uncle and i started talking about my never got to finish business in poly and how i'd moved from there to being a childcare teacher, working full time and studying part time.

then, i can't remember exactly what he asked me but i told him i was a christian and am from new creation church :) and he got really excited and started telling me that he has heard from many customers and friends about how great and wonderful new crea is as a church.

so he started asking me questions, like what tithing is and whether we meet every sunday to "learn how to be good people" and stuff like that.

haha honestly ah, i was thinking, if you've met so many people who have told you how wonderful new creation church is, how come they've never told you the good news that's being preached all the time? hahahha okay bok stop being mean :D it's something called right place right time so that you can have the honour of sharin :D haha!

so anyway i was telling him how amazing it is that we always get to hear how good God is to us, how much God loves us, how He always wants to bless us and wants the best for us.

then the uncle asked me, how is it that you guys meet every single week and never run out of things to say? :D

haha i cannot tahan! i started telling him about how, because God is SO BIG, that it is totally impossible to ever be able to finish talking about Him and how it is so easy to trust someone when you know how much He loves you and always always wants the best for you, and how it's so hard to stop talking about good news :)

all through the ride, he never stopped asking, i never stopped talking.

"so, if i go there, i will find alot of answers?", he asked halfway through the expressway, abit skeptical, yet, hopeful.

i paused to take a breath. i'd never felt so sure in my life as i parted my lips to give him my answer.

"yes. yes, i am sure that if you come, you will find all the answers you're looking for. i'm sure."

"wah, sure ah?"

"yes, i'm sure!"

so when we finally reached and i'd paid the fare, he turned around and asked me, "what is so special about this church and what's being taught there?"

he was so hungry for an answer. you could see it in his eyes, the longing. it's like he wanted to come but he wanted to be sure that it was something that special.

:) i told him what i was like before, how i used to live my life in the past and how going to new creation church and listening to the Word preached really really changed my life.

he just sat there listening to all i had to say. listening to my story :) listening to my story with Jesus :) and i saw a change on his face :) like something lighted up, like he knew there was a hope for him, just like there was hope for me :)

i passed him one of our church pamphlet thingys before i got off the cab, showed him the service timings and all :)

somehow, i know he'll come.

:))) and so what if it was the most expensive cab ride ever? because i think it's the most precious!

and then you know what! it can only get better from here :) hahahaha see, taking cab is not always bad! haha :D
