It is indeed done ! Frankly speaking, I felt so unprepared and not knowing what to actually say but I am more prepared in mind than to actually speak through my mouth. Thanks to God, I am able to deliver the message (hopefully) to the others in the gathering. Haha, I sort of needed the reassurance from Jie alot the whole evening before my testimony. But it went well and am really glad at that. More even so that some of the people in church came up to me and thanked me for the testimony, and commented on how good and meaningful the message is. And even Pastor Jack- he himself said that he was surprised, that I am such a good talker. I think this must be due to me being reserved at times- I am more of a listener than a commenter. I have to say-- I feel awesome. My topic? Testimony on my journey of friendships: Eunice, and taking things for granted.
It is indeed that far too often we take too many things for granted until the verge of losing something or nearing the end, we will realise how important and valuable it is to us. Some of my very own personal experiences include;
University: I used to think that oh, 3 years is a long way away and didn't really enjoy university as a student which I should ought to. And upon the completion of my degree, I feel like I want to university- just a little bit longer and experience more, and getting the best out of it.
Work: Being told 3 days ago that Campus Computers in IT dept is closing down, hence losing my job soon and that previously I used to hate work everyday because of my work colleagues' mood swings. I should have treasured this privilege of working in University rather than be whining about human emotions.
Grandmother: I should have spend more time and talk to her more often before she passed away this year- even though she is in good health last year...
Friends: In this case, Jie... which I took for granted our friendship since we met in camp. It was about a year ago and she told me that she will be leaving NZ upon graduation or something.. But I was like.. oh that's still quite away... and time flew by, and now, as the date draws closer, I am sadden by the fact of her about to be- departure. I should have valued the time we had before and ought to spend more time with her.
There goes the saying that people come and go in your life; but I'll say; Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they are meant to be there; they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or help you figure out who you are.- and that very person is none other than Eunice Ho Sze Hui.
Thank you for the light you have brought in my life and helping me draw closer to God. It had been a significant and impactful journey so far. Amen to that !
