Choices that I make

Recently at night, I reflected on my past. Reflected on the choices that i have made over the years the decisions that i made. Sometimes i do wish i have a Time-turner like Harry Potter to turn back time and make things right. But then come to think of it, if it wasn't for the stupid choices or decisions that i made back then, i would not be the "Tommy" that you guys know today.

Sometimes being too smart can be a pain in the ass also. Over the years, I taught myself many things the hard way, developing a type of street smartness in me. There are some things that i know will happen someday and sometimes when i see some situations that i know will affect me somehow or rather. Actually one look and i can see that people don't like me or just see me buay song because of some stupid reason. Sometimes rejection can be a bitter pill to swallow but i am quite used to it. Who cares whether that guy or gal don't want to tell u anything, who cares whether that particular person is starting to hate you or reject you. Sometimes rejection is part and parcel of life, i guess i have to live with it. There are some things i rather don't know den know. But then "street-smartness" can be a gift also haha.

There is one particular choice that i made surprised even myself. That i stayed on my current church for 2 years. I don't know what made me stay on. I remember i arrived on the door of my church as a soul-wearied traveller, tired, weary,cold and drenched with the rain of the outside world. The church was my refuge from the outside world and my dark past and i just wanted someplace to rest my soul. The church was just a harbour and a little piece of heaven for me. Tired of wandering around the "dark" and the "rain" , just wanted a place to shelter me before i moved on.

The church and my members fed me "hot soup" to warm my cold heart and start to creep into my life. I shut the door of my heart in their faces many times. Each time they try, each time they will receive a slam in their faces. In their eyes, i just wanted to be the joker and hope that they will remember me well when the time have come for me to leave. "Receive Christ?" U must be kidding me, "become a holy man" u are nuts!! Some even tell me that they have a vision that i will become pastor haha, i think thats is a screensaver haha. In the end, i stayed on and did not leave y? I really don't know.

There are some times that i really wanted to leave and travel on alone but then something always pulls me back. Was it God? I don't know, i never really truly wholehearted prayed in my life. There is 101 reasons not to come to church but then there is only 1 reason to come to church. I think u guys should know the reason.

At the last service the creation kids service, i purposely skipped the service to avoid meeting up with someone after the service. I feel bad about it, because that day i am surposed to be the cameraman. The person and i had a very deep misunderstanding caused by my members in my cell. We had a big emotional explosion and deep cuts in our relationship was caused. Although i am appalled and digusted with the way how my members handled this thing but still i explained my intention and my concern with them. Although i sort of patched up with my members but still my members have not explained things with him, i am not sure whether should i do it myself or not. I avoided him because i am afraid emotions will get high again and something bad occurs. But still i take things one step at a time and see how it goes, in the meanwhile i just play "dodgeball" haha.

Life is made up of choices and decisions, i can't get everything rite but at least i try to get my choices right. See you then, actually i wrote something else for this entry but i lack the courage to post it, maybe i will post it nxt week haha.

Tommy, indeed a chapter of the children's life was missed recorded... But you coming is equally important as the children's performance to me. Is not only about being a cameraman... We do miss you... Though often on Sundays I only get to say a quick Hi! to you but I do note whether I have seen you or not. Making the right choices, having the right action and saying the right things does impact your lives as well as some people around you. You will be surprise how much it impacts... We are most glad to have you in our midst and taking part of a crossing over experience journey with you! Thank you for letting us to be part of it. And is ok... You need not turn back time... But move forward with kingly heart, you will do mighty works for Him!
