Hey guys, just got myself a new lappy... weee, and a good bargain it was! I guess when you commit yourself to the Lord, everything really falls into place nicely. And recently I've got so lucky, very lucky in fact. Things have been flowing really well, I guess that is because I now have a different prospective in life, looking from a different angle.Anyway, in the previous post, I did say that I'm happily single, but I didnt mention that I would be a loner staying at home. Hahaha, I'm no couch potato! I like getting out of the warm seat. So instead, I went to a cupid dinner party, minus the cupid arrows as most of the pople there already knew each other. It was organised by my "sister" in Christ, Mindi!
She thought of gathering all of us at a Korean BBQ somewhere in Eastwood and somehow not all the people there was single, there was one couple - Pam and Craig! Anyhow, we did cook our delicious raw meat and consume them like wraps, using cabbage! My my my, it sure is nice...
Jokes were passed down the table and people talking. Met a bunch of new people! And to my surprise, this world is so small. I saw David Williams there, one of the guys I met back in church. I mean although the church is massive, I didnt think that he would be at the dinner party I was at and neither did he expect me! hahaha
I'm happily single... hahaha
And today, I was at church as usual, but the only thing that was different was that I brought someone new, in fact two of them! Viktor Wizke from Germany and Chris from China! I didnt expect them to get into the whole Holy drive, but I'm glad they had fun at the 6pm service.
I guess when you least notice, you are actually doing some evangelism. How I met Viktor was just part of Gods plan! It was some time Monday evening. I was at the city waiting for my bus back home! Then Viktor walked up to the bus stop and asked someone how does he get to West Pennant Hills. And it turned out to be on the same bus that I'm waiting for. Since the person could only provide limited resource, but I knew I could show him where to get on and off, some how I was prompted to go up and tell him that I'll help him, and that is what I did!
I walked up and say, "Hey, I'm going the same way too, the bus we're waiting for is the same, you can follow me. We'll wait for about 20 minutes."
Then we started talking, seems like that Viktor has been in Sydney and the entire East and South Coast of Australia. From Queensland to Victoria to South Australia. He has been travelling and working around Australia right after high school and he will be back in Germany the coming Friday. Kinda sad though, as I just met him, really awesome person!
Apparently, it is first time to take a bus from the city to West Pennant Hills. And I thought why would a tourist wanna go way up there. And I got the answer, he is doing what he calls "woofing" (thats what it sounds like) but I reckon its "roofing". Anyway, "woofing" is like you work for accommodation. There are some people who post their places for people to lodge, but not with money, instead they do odd jobs like painting the house(thats what Viktor did). He will be staying in WPH for a week(last night is today).
We talked heaps of stuff, from language to our home country to Australia and the weather... well yo get the idea. Anyway, while talking suddenly I said, "You'll be here on Sunday right?? If you have no plans, you must come to Hillsong! Its like this massive church with great music which is not to be missed! And its really well known as well, I mean across the globe! You have to go!"
So I started telling him about the church... and today when I said I will pick him up along with Wendy and Jess, He said he wanted to bring his house mate... And it was Chris!
I was more than happy to introduce them to my friends.... And I'm glad they had a great time...
Although there were some awkward moments, like during confession time where people who wanted to reconnect or connect or submit themselves to the Lord, they would walk to the front of the stage. And that was what they did although they didnt know what was happening. It was mostly because of Sam, he asked Chris if he wanted to go down, and Chris assume that it was to go down and jump to the music. So they went down, Sam, Chris, Viktor and me.... Hahaha... But when we explained what was happening, they were like, nope... we're not ready... LOL
Anyway, I'm glad I found a friend in them!
And I am glad everyone thought they were a bunch of great and friendly and fun people!
GOD BLESS! (all of them... all my friends, no matter where they are)
