Frenships.. the importance of it...

Started off with a bang this week.. Felt really recharged from the 2 days of MC i took last Thurs & Fri.. Man... I really needed tat break.. Got some pics to upload cos I went Sentosa on Fri but too lazy to do it now.. another day perhaps.. oh ya.. btw.. my suntanning session flopped.. I'm still as white as eva... Today during choir prac, Idy shared a bit of her revelation to the choir.. being the chief choir IC.. she has been burdened greatly in the area of frenship.. what she said really ministered to me.. gotto share it with my members.. those who weren't here today.. good msg must share.. below's just the gist of it.. 1) What is a true fren? 2) The characteristics a true fren should possess 3) How do we go about building good frenships? 4) The benefits we get out of genuine frenships? Being in choir for abt 5 yrs & in church for abt 7 yrs, I have fostered quite alot of frenships in choir and church. Over these yrs, I've really went thru quite a fair bit.. Truly, frenships does help mould our character.. My frens have nv failed to correct me wheneva I spoke without thinking and pray with me when I was down n out.. During my past relationship, I was super-glued to some1 whom I now can bravely say hi to.. Nth else or no1 else around me mattered during tat 3 yrs.. not even my family.. yes.. I'm serious.. however God did prove me wrong down the road.. people matter.. frens matter and family matters.. I just had to learn the hard way but the most impt thing was.. I learnt... Now.. in church, I am nv alone, always with at least 1 fren n I always feel so loved by those around me.. I believe as we open up more to others, we will be accepted eventually.. drop all the cliques and just be more receiving towards ppl.. so even when I'm discipled, it is clearly done with love.. Every few steps I walk, I keep saying a chirpy 'hi' to ppl.. see.. there's just so much joy in the frenships I have fostered over the years.. I can bravely say tat I have changed over the yrs, less aggressive, greater endurance, enlarged capacity etc. Thanks to my wonderful frens tat God has placed amongst me, even including those not from church.. Some of them have really stood by me.. Lany, Rushy, HM, HC, Jenny.. etc, etc.. too many to mention.. THANKS GUYS! I LOVE YA'LL... We were told to list down 3 frens we're closest to in choir and 3 tat we wanna be close to by the end of April.. I was very touched when some frens told me after prac, "Hey, I put u down as 1 of my close fren leh.." I was really very very touched, u guys have no idea how touched I was... okie.. I'm seriously in a very thankful mood today... Miss fellowshipping with the choir members (chiongsters).. everytime they go out, I got to work the next day or I'm super busy with work n assignments.. I only see all of them once a wk for a few hours.. or sometimes once every 2 weeks.. Now prac's gonna be on Tues.. Man! I HAVE CLASSES la... cant miss my classes also cos I failed this module b4..Hiaz.. Idy says to just try to come as often as possible.. I hardly miss prac.. I just missed prac last week & today when I came back, I felt like I missed sooo much... Didn't know wat Ronnie was teaching on the theory part... Lost in outer space.. all I know was tat the music notes were just cooked or raw fishballs with sticks on top of them and moles beside them... this is where I was this close to roaring with laughter.. tink u guys are wondering wat in the world am I talking abt.. nvm.. who will know better than my bestest laughing Khaki---- Idy... Whahahaha....
