firstly.. and sorta randomly, i had a very enjoyable day today =)
so i went to that missions thing at church this past saturday, and i must say it was rly gud. something that sorta struck me was when bern said like 'how can we look at the world in the same way after meeting Christ'? and i guess it was just like a wake-up call of how my life hasn't gone through the necessary changes after receiving Christ. I live such a passive lifestyle with an 'i'll-do-it-tomorrow' sort of attitude. and ya.. i guess i just have to remember there rly mite not be a tomorrow. so i need to focus on the here and now. i need to be rdy for His second coming.. and so does everyone around me.. particularly, but not exclusively, my friends. from skool and from church. o.o and my family too.. not judging or anything, but i dun rly kno how well my parents' relationships with God are. oo, and like i thot bout this at the missions thing too like spreading God's love on the TTC?! soo radical! but it makes so much sense! like i meet hundreds of ppl a day.. wut an amazing oppurtunity to do acts of kindness? and perhaps start a conversation about God? tho that DOES sound very difficult.. but ya.. i kinda thought of a lil trick =P i'll do something nice like give up my seat or sumthing.. then they'll be like, wut the?! and that's when i'll strike! but yes.. all this is very theoretical at the moment.
another thing that sorta tied into saturday's missions thing was tithing. like we were watching a documentary and in it this guy's saying how instead of giving to the church he gives directly to those in need. and like honestly im not very consistent with tithes. so i was thinkin mebbe i cud like save up the money i shud be offering and like DO something. not rly sur wut yet but perhaps that will come to me later.
and in terms of missions and stuff.. i dun rly think goin like overseas and stuff is rly for me. or at least i dun rly feel that God is calling me to this field AT THE MOMENT. i do, however, feel a calling to missions locally. like within my school sorta local. i feel like i need to rly put more effort into talking to my friends and stuff bout God. cuz i think a lot of them are pretty close to like accepting religion sorta. like a lot of them are actually quite interested in Christianity and stuff. so yes.. i feel a sorta responsibility to bring them to God.
and that is wut i have sorta been throwing around in my head for the past 3 days. didn't blog on friday/saturday.. ><

K.T.P. Brian!!
(K.T.P. = keep the posts)
yeah , it's truly amazing what you see on ttc. but the question really is will you just watch other's people's lives go by as they just walk in and out or will you take the initiative and spread the word to them?
yeah its gonna take a lot of guts to do that. i mean it is talking to someone you don't know ! but then yeah, the experience is pretty sickkk and whether the result's good or bad, it still feels quite nice after : )
