I've found a friend who died for me

Gosh, the year is nearly over n yet i still haven found a job.. on currently surviving based on my saving during ns.. well, though i got saving account, my account for spending is not topping up.. hav not been really getting any $$$ from my parents since ord.. so now, everything i do very very budget budget..

christmas is juz over n it was a very busy n costly one for me again.. ended up buying more presents tis yr.. some much for the cash mum gave me intended as chrismas present.. well, im fine with it anyway since christmas is the season of giving n if it is for impt friends, why not??

but christmas is more than juz any other normal holiday.. it was mean to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, who came to tis world to save us.. sadly, the purpose of tis special was lost as time goes.. christmas day itself became commercialise by commercial companies n firms, used as a marketing tool for their own purposes.. X-mas, commonly used by them, was used to rule out "Christ" from "Christmas"..

i found out something interesting.. Jesus Christ was actually not born on 25th of December.. 25th december is juz a date to celebrate his birth.. also, the so-called 3 wise men tat went to visit baby Jesus was not entirely true.. the event of wise men visiting Jesus in stable did occur, but the exact number tat went was unknown.. it was assumed by many to be 3 because there were 3 gifts offered by the wise men to Jesus, so one each.. in addition, the wise men did not appeared to the night Jesus was borned but years later.. so, i was like "Wow" n "Orh" after hearing these.. all along i grew up in a church hearing to all the stories from the bible, there will alway be things tat i still do not know n fascinated by the endless knowlege n information the bible offers.. its only a matter of whether u choose to open ur heart to it's words..

well, i may not be a totally devoted or "holy" christian, but i decided to put in my best effort in rebuilding my relationship with God.. there no such thing as little or half faith, juz yes or no.. until now, there are still qns n doubts regarding on tis faith which might sometime hinder my relationship with God.. But, deep in my heart, I know there is tis one true God, the God tat surpasses time n space, one tat is not bounded by what is finite.. And i am glad to say tat i have no regrets in accepting Jesus Christ as my personal saviour..

so much for my "holy" post.. christmas was very happening n meaningful.. our church had a play n i was involved as a supporting actor.. though the rehearsal n practice came pretty late, along with the many screw ups even on the actual day final rehearsal, everything juz went pretty smoothly despite minor problems.. the sound n lighting, prop teams, acting crews, scene transition n mood for the actual performance, it was wonderful considering the amount full length practice we had.. fantastic (:

stayed over at 141, celebrated qi lei's birthday n christmas countdown.. everyone gathered together just like good old times.. it seemed ages we came together as a whole fellowship, esp when everyone starts to go separate ways as we grow.. sammuel became a regular, n i believed its because of the christmas play.. got closer with many other more in the church.. after all these years, no matter what, its always the church friends tat u could eventually rely on (:
