♫ Quiet my foolishness says: (10:39:12 PM)
hey hey!
how are things?

sam says: (10:39:29 PM)
er.. okay i guess..
haha..
anyway, are you free now??

♫ Quiet my foolishness says: (10:39:48 PM)
a bit. whats up?

sam says: (10:40:12 PM)
well, i got your reply and decided to change a few stuff
yupyup.. or would it be better if i write whatever through emailing?

♫ Quiet my foolishness says: (10:40:42 PM)
hope i didnt scare you too much. cause i know i write very directly. trying to cut my chiong hei-ness.
nay, we can converse here.

sam says: (10:41:08 PM)
haha.. okayyy.

♫ Quiet my foolishness says: (10:41:21 PM)
so whats the new idea?

sam says: (10:42:00 PM)
i was thinking about what you said about bringing the focus to God and yeah..
i prayed about it.. and hopefully, the new ideas may be what God wants me to do or something like that la.. im still a little unsure..
like.. i was thinking.. about the different aspects of God
like.. love, forgiveness, wonder, mercy
plus the scary ones like discipline
and something along that line..

♫ Quiet my foolishness says: (10:44:22 PM)
ah.. i think now you're getting somewhere. =)

sam says: (10:44:55 PM)
haha.. which means i can put in my initial idea as one of the aspects
where your walk with God is not really a bed of roses

♫ Quiet my foolishness says: (10:45:07 PM)
yes it is possible.
just one caution.
focusing on God's traits/characteristics is different from focusing on God.

sam says: (10:45:44 PM)
oh.. meaning?

♫ Quiet my foolishness says: (10:46:18 PM)
i can say: samantha is pretty, smart, a dancer, a student, a geek, wears specs.
see all these are traits.
and i focus on the traits.
so what does it mean to say that you're smart.
so samantha scores well for exams. she does well in her homework.
blah blah.
but do you get to know samantha that way?
i may end up knowing what she is LIKE, but not knowing WHO she is.

sam says: (10:47:42 PM)
hmmmm

♫ Quiet my foolishness says: (10:47:57 PM)
there is a subtle difference i guess.
not that its bad to focus on the traits. but more should be focused on the person of God.

sam says: (10:48:38 PM)
but how can i go about doing that if i cant really tell the difference?

♫ Quiet my foolishness says: (10:49:09 PM)
ah... that one have to ask God.
=)
just a caution lah.
dont worry about it too much.

sam says: (10:49:42 PM)
haha.. okayyy..
btw.. just so you know..
we havent fixed a date for it yet..

♫ Quiet my foolishness says: (10:50:04 PM)
thats cool.

sam says: (10:50:09 PM)
decided to do the planning before anything else
so it might be this dec or next year

♫ Quiet my foolishness says: (10:50:15 PM)
no need to be pressed for time.

sam says: (10:50:21 PM)
haha.. true..
but what im afraid is that the idea will grow stagnant after awhile.

♫ Quiet my foolishness says: (10:50:51 PM)
but as a general rule: if it is evangalistic, keep the focus on God.
keep the focus on Jesus.

sam says: (10:51:21 PM)
hmmmm..
okay okay..
now i shall go off and pray about it..
lol.. thanks dennis

♫ Quiet my foolishness says: (10:52:06 PM)
