A Line Crosser for Christ

My First Time Getting to know God

Ya as i said i went into my secondary school.."Presbyterian High School"..in yio chu kang road lor...Never did i knw that it is a christian school till the time my dad brought mi there the first day...and then my parent knew it is a christian school...and they hate it...cos they hate chrisitans...but deep inside my heart i go this strange feeling...i feel very happy and exicted to go into this school...dun wan y...now i knw y cos God has a purpose in putting mi into this school..To get to know who is Christ..amen.ya so i got into this school unexpectedly...against my parent's wish but i aso dun knw y they put this school dwn in the first place..hahaha...is fated that God is calling mi to mit Him there lor..
First day of school started off with a pastor walking towards the where we aseembled and started to preach to us....is my first time listening to all this preaching..everyone even have to bow down and pray after his message...but of course intially i ignored it...say so "stupid wan...so boring"...but i did see some of my friends there bowing theirs heads and prayed...Of course there are some of us non-christians dwn there...making fun of them..but we are required to be quiet even if we are non-chrisitans...so-called respect the religion...And i actually i continue to pray togehter with the pastor for every assembly for the past 4 years when i am in the school till i graduated..
As days passed...i still as rebellious as b4...scolding pple all arund mi...no one actually dares to come near mi lor..My grades is still as poor as b4...i am in the 12 position in my class by the end of the first year in my secondary school...ya but things started to change when i sense that someone is toking to mi one day in the taxi when i am with my family...they are discussing abt mi in the cab when out of the sudden i feel that someone is telling mi,"I reali got to work hard...i got to study for to make up for all the things i done to my parents...i told myself yes i want to work hard study hard for them".
And indeed...i do it lor...i dun knw y i started to listen to the message of what the pastor has shared during the assembly period and feel that wat he says is reali happening in my life lor...is true man...ya and gradually i follow the prayers after the pastor...and this is when i know abt Christ..then one day of a sudden..during a notice put up at the board i came across this message...Come and Experience Him self ...join us at this time and this place...and i then realised that is actually the church in my school compound that have this activites...activites for youngesters to have fun and in the same time knw God...i pluck up the courage and deep inside my heart...i feel a desire to know God...so i ask my best friends to go along with mi to the church in my school compound...and that day is the day i knew God for the very first time in my whole life...
i went in there dun knw wat to expect...yaya...mi and my best friends just join in the fun and then there is a sinner prayer...that is a prayer that people takes when they received Christ into their hearts..so a pastor approach us and ask us this question,"Are u willing to accept God into your heart?"..without delay my best friend says,"Yes"!!and i am shocked to hear that i feel wats with her man...so fast...then the pastor starts asking mi so "Do u?"i like huh so fast dun wan lar...i mean my parent sure kill mi wan lor...pls lor...so i rejected...i say no i need to consider...but from that day on i knw God has planted a seed in my heart lor...i started to go to church after school...during weekdays i will attend bible studies classes...and even youth activities and also service on sunday...i got such a fruitful day on wkend...and i feel so much joy in mi...so much happiness and peace that i cant find anywhere...even though i did not say the sinner prayer but deep inside my heart i know there is Jesus living in mi..i used to think in the past that as long as i believe and know that He is inside of mi,can liao dun need to confess to pple that i am a christian what...but of course i dun do this now..u will find that i siao liao but i am not lor...i reali can sense that i have change lor...even my parent did...they say "u looked more happier than ever hor" and i tell them abt church.Intially they are against but when they see mi changed into a happier person...they are happy too and even my result prove to them so...i work so hard...pray so hard..and first time without a tuition teacher i got second position in my whole class for the end of my second year lor..amen...praise the lord...even my teacher got to see my parent and talk to them abt my great improvement..."Ur daughter has done very well,madam"...i am so happy....and my parent started to see the Change in mi and they know that God has reali changed our daughter...Amen to that lor...
As for my character,i changed into a completely different person...i started to stop scolding vuglar languages...i will slap myself if i do to remind myself not to and of course pray to God that He will change mi and indeed i did and success in doing so...i can tell u that God is indeed Good...my temper starts to change to the better...ya but still very hot temper..but an improvement..and within months...i never swear anymore...i have succeed in quitting this habit...With God,everything is possible lor...Praise the lord..so mi and my best friends went through our secondary school life in church and thanx God for His blessing that i am able to get scholarship of $500 each year without fail in my 5 years of secondary school life...amen....even my best friend she topped the whole level in N level that time...i managed to get a 4 points in my N level and also not a bad points in my O level...i even went into JC after my O level...reali unbelieveable rite...reali got so much to thanx God about...and also my relationship with my parent also improved a lot lor...my brother actaully look up to mi since then...
However due to some resons i left church after my O level...even then my friends brought mi to City Harvest Chruch that time back in paya lebar...i am not keen alrdy...i foget about God...and focus myself on other things alrdy like my A level...i started to go away from Him...and this i will continue to tell u in the nxt article on "Backsliding from God"...Must stay tuned kk...
