That's When I Love You

Ever had the feeling GOD is trying to tell u something?

The past few days had some little incidents here & there that somehow, constantly reminded me of HIS presence. For example, on Friday, after class, I just stayed back in school to do my work all the way until OCF... Being the stingy person that I am, I'd rather not have lunch & dinner than spend money to eat in school. Maybe I'll go home after OCF & cook 2 packets of instant noodles or something, was what I thought. When I came early to OCF, Eunice & Daniel packed a burger from Lisa's BBQ for ST. But ST had his dinner just before I arrived!

So Daniel was like, “你吃了嗎？”
And I was, “還沒有。”
Then he say “這樣你吃咯！”

Haha! So cool right? Ok, it felt cool to me. And what's even cooler: abit later on, halfway through my burger, Louis came with 3 or 4 packs of rice & some vege & chinken wings made by Leah! They were for anyone who haven't had dinner la... but it's as though GOD is saying, "hey, if the burger ain't enough, there's still rice, Kane. Don't starve yourself, stupid boy."

Today also... as I was on the way to Fruitgrove MRT (Haha! Stupid, but I shall leave the mistake as that.) this song kept playing in my head:

"In Christ alone, my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save.
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand."

-Stuart Townend & Keith Getty: In Christ Alone

Yup, and while waiting for Audrey to pick me up, I was just humming it happily. Guess what? Her car was playing "In Christ Alone"! It was getting kinda creepy man...

Another thing is a combi of Friday & today... On Friday, OCF had the last of its relationship series: Courtship. Nelson & Amy from New Hope Brisbane came to talk to us about it. It was good... It was straightforward... nothing was held back. I really enjoyed the truthfulness. But that's not it. During the talk, Nelson mentioned how the Jewish people had their marriage carried out. The bride would be dressed & prepared constantly, and waited (impatiently or otherwise) for the groom to come. Nobody knew when he was coming and so, everyone had to be on their toes. Today, Rev Tan's sermon was about the 2nd coming of Christ: How prepared we were. And that parable came up again, about the groom arriving in the middle of the night & the bridesmaids who were unprepared ended up getting locked outside, not being able to celebrate the wedding.

So tell me, is GOD saying something to me? Coz I don't really see the connection in all these 3. Of course, me being lame & all, I could come up with something easily, but GOD's not lame. He makes the lame walk & dance! (See what I mean?) So what's HE telling me?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These few weeks have drawn me closer to Judy, Melisa, Jasmine, Calvin & Eunice, or at least, that's what I feel la. And it was fun! And it's reminescent of my friends back in PL... I really really miss them. It's not that I don't enjoy the company & friendship here, I do, I really do. But things are just different. I yearn to go back home & be amongst them again... =(

Anyways, this is so funny. I don't know if I should even mention it here... so I shan't mention names. Someone thinks that there's something going on between me & someone else. I asked why, and the reply was coz I showed supposedly extra "concern & protection" to that someone else. Haha! Can't you be concerned about a friend? So silly... =D

"... To hear you stumble when you speak,
Or see you walk with two left feet,
Thats when I love you,
I love you, endlessly...

... And when you can't quite match your clothes,
Or when you laugh at your own jokes,
Thats when I love you,
I love you, more than you'll know.

And when you forget that we had a date,
Or that look that you get when you show up late,
Baby I love you, I love you anyway!"

-Aslyn: That's When I Love You

That's when I loved you... head over heels, mud in face, flaying arms and all... I love you.

Love me if you dare... 16:32
