Are You Lonesome Tonight? @ 2:07 AM

Why this title?

I was out with Jennifer and Peifen after Fen's birthday celebration at Swensen, 1 of the topic we chat about was "What's your greatest Strength and Weakness?"

Weaknes: Scare of being lonely
Strength: Able to break the ice and the bring a grp of people together

Both of them started off from the same point -- Loneliness.

No doubts I can easily bring a group of (scattered) people together. I enjoy having big crowd.. or rather people I can chat, joke, fellowship around me! Yeah!
It's not that I want to gain/seek attention, but I'm scare of I'm afraid of being Lonely... Yes... I need people to keep the conversation going, to keep the laughter going on and on...

There will be times when I went out with my friend... the most sad moment will be we have to end our fellowship early... I don't mind staying out till late even if I have to wake up early the next day, I just simply love being with people!!! :)

And I had a revelation after sharing this out... 1 of the reason God place me in this current CG is... He wants me to overcome my weakness and make it my greatest strength!!!

I'm currently in a Youth CG, and most of them... infact all of them are foreign students, and 50% of them have curfew in their hostel.. So everytime after svc or CG, they will need to rush back, esp if they forgot to sign the "blue form".

There's a few times, I set my mind to go out and fellowship with my CG, either before or after... But it just seens that they can't make it... Can't blame them, as they are students, they need to spend more time on studying.

There's once, I finally got my off, and was looking forward to fellowship with them after svc, maybe a dinner or something, but all of them need to rush home as it's exam period (can't remember). I'm being left behind...

Thus, I decide to look around for people to accompany for dinner and whoever is available, I will stick to them, end up went out with my ex-cgm's cgm, which I find is not a very fruitful fellowship... Didn't really get to chat with them, just eat and went home... I feel so sad...

Well is a weakness which I really need to overcome...

God,

pls give me Your strength to overcome this weakness of mine. Let it not hindle my walk with You and to walk in the purpose You had for me, that I can be a joy giver and build the unity of the people around me!

In Jesus' beautiful and mighty name I pray, AMEN!
