Resurrection Sunday

*sigh of relief*

Our drama presentation's finally over. And I praise God for all the grace, wisdom, patience and strength for all of us. It was a team effort and all glory goes to the big-G up there in the sky :)

Hahaha... someone I know made a comment about how these kids in GRC would affect me...

"You love them and put them in your heart so much, when they all leave it will surely hurt a lot.."

I think if it didn't hurt... it would probably mean they NEVER found a place in my heart in the very first place. The hurt isn't a negative one, but more of missing a person that you love. And I know... as the first quarter of the year comes to a close at the end of next week, I know I'm 9 months closer to seeing quite a number of my GRCians graduating and flying to distances they don't even know about yet.

It's inevitable. I could choose to be emo about it, or I could choose to give them each a hug of encouragement and try my very best to be happy and not cry. Not that I don't believe in crying, just that I want to wish them well and part ways as people who won't hang on to the past and refuse to move on:)

Today's Resurrection Sunday, and I pray that those who came for the drama persentation, and for those who have attended any Easter-related events all around the world, will be one step closer to know just how amazing God's love is for them.

5 years ago I chose with my own free will, devoid of a preacher, devoid of religious material around me, devoid of hype... I chose because He chose first to die for someone like me. Someone who was caught up in rejection, anger and hopelessness... my Jesus saw beyond all that and loved me still. And for that, when I always think of it... I feel like crying because I still can't understand 100% why He did it in the first place.

God looked beyond the filth on us, the smelly garbage that we carried. He loved us because He saw a child underneath all that.

Thank You, Jesus. Life is so different with You in it. I'm forever grateful. I'm gonna use my life to bring honour to Your name.
