Just came back not long ago.. Had something for a scare just now.

Was meeting my mum just now at AMK central to get stuff for the upcoming chinese new year and what was shocking was that my brother went missing. He was with my mum all the while until when he went off by himself to look at some toys at the night market that he went missing. Spent nearly an hour looking for him at AMK central but to no avail. It really got my mum and myself very worried and i even thought of calling the police for assistance??

Anyway gladly that he's at home, safe and sound. While we were looking for him he just stranded off, all the way till my grandma's place. Still thank God for his safety. Man..

Yesterday (Sat) had been a day full of reflections and memory flashbacks. On one part I'm pretty happy that I had good fellowship with the youth ministry for DLCC. Missed them lots and really got a lot of things to share with them. Glad to know that many people that i know are rising up as cell grop leaders, or taking up more important roles in the ministry.
I'm glad myself that I had grown a lot indeed, over the last 10 months while I'm in CHC and happy that I'm able to share a lot of my own experiences to help to build my friends up, spiritually.
Oh, I finally saw Zilin too.. Haha.. Pretty girl now.. Used to be so guai and gentle-looking but after studying in Australia for just a year she seem really different, and even carried an Aussie accent too! Lol..
Overall the company was real good, and good chats with people like MC, Alicia and Peishan etc. Gonna miss you guys but let's carry on to do the works of God and glorify Him like never before! Haha..

Was walking home just now and suddenly it came into my mind this, "Am I able to really forgive my Dad and forget what he had done and allow things to start afresh?" Well, HS told me it was a yes and myself I believe I can do it. It all linked back to 2 days ago when I was talking to Lingling about forgetfulness and forgiveness. When you learn to forgive a person for what he had done, you will naturally forget what he/she had done to you because you no longer bear hatred for the person.
What troubles me is how people can say they forgive the person, but they can never forget what they did me.

Think of it this way. Forgiveness comes with total understanding that we should and we can forget what the person has done because we no longer hate the person, but love the person even more. Forgetfulness, allow us to start anew with the person because we no longer look at the past of what he did.
So shouldn;t both firgiveness and forgetfulness comes together? If we cannot forget what the person had done, we can't say we have forgiven the person. It's so contradicting..

Putting it in the case of my dad, i believe i can forget what he has done and i got a reason to forgive him, because he's my father after all. Anyway, I'm willing to do all these because I still love him. I still do.
SOme of you might think that if i love him, why did i send him to jail in the first place? First thing is that if i carry on to let him go to do what he feels like doing like stealing, isn't that destroying him rather than loving him? Second, I believe those who commit a crime should all be punished, espcially for repeated offenders.
I did understand the situation he's in, but he got into that situation himself, so it's always good for him to clear up the mess he created himself. Prayer-fully, i hope he would turn over a new leaf when he comes out soon.

We all only got one life, why not live it to the max?

Psalms 37:7 -

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
