rendezvous

i had a catch up with two of my junior high school friends on saturday night. it was a good 7 years ago that we sort of parted ways, and in-betweens, there had only been a couple of updates without any proper intentions to hear from each others. and these days, four of us somehow make it here (one in melbourne, three in sydney, plus another one will be arriving shortly). again, we never thought that we would again this time, cross-path each other's life after all those years.

what's so exiciting to hear is that two of them became cns over the time! we attended a cn school back then, but each had confessed to have never really quite understood what it means to be a cn. simply speaking, we were just a bunch of naive youngsters who were either too innocent to ever make such a decision to truly follow Christ (happy-go-lucky) or stuck-there kind of uncommitted 'cn' due to a cn education. either way, none of us were a cn really (though it is still a link in a chain of knowing God process).

one thing is common among us, that is, it's when we are here, on our own, away from our home country, that God's mercy has been kept on being shown to us. who would have thought of, God does it, He just. and i can say, this time now, our decisions are sincere in following Christ. and i am thankful for that.

and so, we hope that another friend of us will also consider Christ, though it seems like a long way to go. but hey, she has made it here.
