This is what random updates all about. Basically anything that is on my mind now.
So let's take it to the first one. Badminton was called off for this whole month and I have every reasons to believe it is the work of YOG. And I'm guessing I won't be playing badminton, for the whole month of Aug. Because the school needs the hall back and I'm guessing it's for their training.
Yah, 1 more month of school holiday for me. Such a long holiday, I wonder will I get my rhythm back once my school starts.
I don't remember planting, maybe except when I was young and my teacher told us to plant some beans.. Red beans, green beans and Soya beans (yah rite..) Anyway, I never reap any fruits. All I saw was a 10cm green stalk with a few pathetic leaves sticking out of the soil and no matter how hard I tried to keep it alive, it ended up dead the next week. From then on, I gave up on planting. Few years down the road, my mum bought me a small tree trunk, stem or whatever you call it. It's like 7cm in diameter and 10cm tall. At least after months, I saw roots coming out at the base and later on, leaves started to sprout.
Well, somehow it reminded me of my cell. 4 years ago, I started with great passion and high expectation with the boys (12-14 of them). It's kind of tough in the beginning, you got to know each of them, their interest, character.. to build trust and rapport with them. The results are kind of frustrating, trying to get everyone's attention during words is a near impossible. When you get the attention from one group, the other group start to chat away happily. Slowly, it starts to distract others and this goes on for months. Then there is this period where I cancel away cell worship because they are making a fool out of worship. Yes, I almost throw in the white towel. So fast forward to present. It's almost a 180 degree change. As 1 of them said, seekers (our cell name) is like a family to him. God had cause each and everyone of them to grow to love Him and one another.
