What happens when a church got robbed by 5 knife wielding guys? Pretty unbelievable right? Well, that is what happened yesterday during a song practice yesterday at my church.

-
The story goes like this....

-
It was 11 something that night and there were 7 people practicing songs when suddenly a guy with a motorbike helmet came in through the door holding a knife.

"Apa mahu nyanyi lagi?" he said and soon after that 4 other guys who were also holding knives came in and quickly kick 2 of my friends, Michael and David, to the floor while holding the knife to their neck.

Another guy held a knife towards the 3 girls while 2 others searched for our belongings.
This is basically the story. 7 handphones and over 200 dollars were stolen. Not to mention the ICs and licenses.

Incidents like this normally make us wonder why God would want such bad things to happen on us sometimes. We would make assumptions that we may did something wrong and God wanted to punish us or that sort of things.

However, no matter what happens to us, the most important thing is to remain faithful and obedient. Even if it's death of a loved one or other things that would pierce your heart, the best thing to do is to pick up yourself and continue your journey.

A period of mourning is okay but staying at a point, regretting, mourning and not doing anything is not going to change the fact that the bad thing had taken place. No matter how much tear you shed, how sorry you are, nothing is going to change.

-
So what's the best thing to do when you're faced with a big letdown?

Move on! Continue on your journey with a happy heart. Mourn and move on. Nothing is gonna change if you stay at 1 point. If you really feel regret and sorry, then live on your life with a more positive attitude. Look at things with a positive heart and be happy!

Put your sadness into God's hand and let him take care of it and continue on your path.

Anyway that's all I can say here. Luckily those 5 Malay guys are not "ham sup" guys. If not who know's what will happen to the 3 girls. I'm sure this incident will cause a big stir. Who knows what will be next?

If a church is also not safe, no where can be considered safe anymore. maybe we should carry a big steel pole where ever we go as a precaution.

Til then, Happy New Year!

Why am i a Christian freak?

Some people will ask me. Heck, being a Christian freak is much better than being a money freak or a fame freak or other types of freaks to be found.

I believe that everyone of us lives for various reasons. Some live for money, others for fame and a few for fun or maybe self-satisfaction. Not to mention those who live around aimlessly.

-

However, i find that living the way of the world does not suit me. Don't you feel that life's pretty pointless if you live for money for example? Like they all say, when you die, you die, nothing that belongs to you on the earth will follow you. Not your money, not your fame, not your family, nothing.

So what's the point of working so hard to get something that you will eventually lose when you die?

-

Some of you might agree with me. You would also go on and say that not working and living life to the fullest by enjoying yourself is the way of life. For example, partying everyday, clubbing or maybe hanging around aimlessly. What's the pouint of working when nothing lasts, right? It's better to enjoy your life by doing what you like. Wrong too.

In my opinion, i think that the kind of life i mention above is way much worse than being a money freak or family freak. People who live that type of life have no future. Yes, maybe the fact that you come from a wealthy family means you can do what you want and like but think deeply, do you expect to rely on your parents forever? And is really living for the sake of enjoying yourself fulfilling? Self satisfaction is also temporary. It cannot keep you happy 24/7 nor it can give you the true sense of peace, love and belonging.

-

So, why are we living then if life has no meaning at all? If i say that money, fame, family, self satisfaction are all temporary, then might as well we all commit suicide since living has no meaning. Wrong again.

There's still 1 more reason to live for and that is through God. We are mere human beings, objects of creation and true sense of belonging and peace can only be found in God. And that is why i choose to be a Christian freak. It is because it can offer what money, fame, sex and other worldly things cannot offer.
