When griping grief the heart doth wound,
and doleful dumps the mind opresses,
then music, with her silver sound,
with speedy help doth lend redress.
-William Shakespeare
Rain Down
Went witnessing yesterday again. God never fails. It was pretty interesting this time. Both times Roger and I went up to someone, they were Roman Catholics. I'm still kinda new at this so I wasn't sure how to minister to a Catholic. Glad that I had a senior with me coz he gave me a few pointers. I'm sure it wasn't coincidence because I know God leads us to people He wants us to share Christianity with. Guess God also wanted me to learn how to deal with Catholics. Pretty cool.
I got this growing obsession in me to help people or serve God. Because I found out that only during these times, I don't think about my own life and start feeling my heart tearing up. I don't feel my pain when I'm submerged in doing something. It's my only escape.
Today during Digital Electronics lab session, I got so frustrated. I was almost the only one who couldn't get the stopwatch connection working on my trainer. There were 3 stages and I couldn't even get past the 1st stage. The worst part was that I could do the identical connection 2 weeks ago. For almost 2 hours I just kept trying. I didn't want to ask for my lecturer's or friend's help coz I wanted to do it myself. I just kept wondering why I could do it 2 weeks ago but not now. So the day ended with me getting no result.
I kept talking to God at first and I believed that if I keep trying I could do it. With Him, nothing is impossible. But I kept failing and I started to wonder if God was forsaking me. I really felt so bad I wanted to just pack up and walk off.
Then Shang Ming came over to ask me about the NAPFA test he and I had to take for the SAF Scholarship. That wasn't interesting. Interesting was when he sang a line from Above All.
"Crucified, laid behind a stone ... "
My mood totally changed !! I was rather surprised !! I didn't know he was a Christian. I asked and he said he wasn't, but he likes listening to Christian songs and he used to attend church for about a year. So I started sharing with him and for that period of time I felt so lifted up to be ministering to someone, I forgot about my frustration I had just moments before. He wasn't like a hardcore I-don't-believe-in-Christ-anymore guy. In fact, he sort of still believe there is a certain God. It's just that he doesn't want to commit to the religion. So I only had to encourage him to reconcile with our Father. It's natural that all fathers want a close relationship with their sons and daughters.
I felt so much better on my way home. If it wasn't for that chat, I could have continued the rest of the evening with a heavy heart.
1. I want to reach out to my own class, but it's difficult when I'm already so familiar with them. It's hard to explain. Anyway, God helped me by sending the first one. I'm thankful for that.
2. He made me forget my own pain by getting me to speak on His behalf to Shang Ming. Talk about killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
Before we left the lab, my lecturer came over and asked how I was doing. I finally decided to tell her how dumb I was coz I couldn't even get the MOD-6. She checked it and realized I only missed out on grounding one of the points on the trainer with a single wire. One wire.
argh, FREAK !! Felt so dumb !!!
