The most unimaginable thing to do.
Today has been a day of breakthroughs.
#1 I just did the most unimaginable thing this morning. I had a dream last night and I felt pretty confused when I woke up. I could either 1) get absurdly angry with the individual I dreamt about or 2) know that God is prompting me about my hurts. So I chose to have faith and believe in God that I needed a breakthrough with a particular relationship. I took out my phone and I typed this word-for-word:
“good morning dad. i just want to say i love you and i’m learning to treasure you more. have a blessed day. see you tonight”
Now, that wasn’t anything special. But trust me, I wouldn’t harbour such a thought a couple of years back. As you know, I’m not an expressive person, neither is my dad, and I think I sort of took him for granted. (okay, I did) I’m the typical male who doesn’t say mushy stuff (wonder how I’ll ever say ‘I love you’ to my girlfriend…) and my dad is the typical male who doesn’t reveal his soft side. Anyway, I kept away all the hurts over the years and I knew God wanted me to give it up, take a step forward. So I woke up this morning on my bed crying and guess what? My bunkmate caught me tearing! (SO PAISEH.) Thank God he was like,’ eh you ok? wanna see MO?’ I think he thought I had a bad flu or something haha.
Anyway, God tore down a huge chunk of the wall I’ve built up around my heart… you know what? I think I just took a major turning point in my walk with God. Let the healing begin, let my life be rebuilt.
Moving on to #2…
#2 I saw discipleship in another light and I really need to re-evaluate the way mentoring is done. At the end of it all, what I really want to do is to build people who are strong and will last the distance. No man-made system is perfect but all of us can do our best to help one another grow in our walk with God.
Man, I really had my eyes open wide today. I’m pretty sure things won’t be the same again from this point onwards, and I pray God will teach me His ways more and more daily 
George W. Bush Meets Moses.
George W. Bush was walking through an airport last week, when he saw an old man with white hair, a long white beard, wearing a long white robe and holding a staff. He walked up to the man, who was staring at the ceiling, and “Excuse me sir, aren’t you Moses?”
The man stood perfectly still and continued to stare at the ceiling, saying nothing. Again, George W. asked, a little louder this time, “Excuse me sir, aren’t you Moses?” Again, the old man stared at the ceiling motionless without saying a word. George W. tried a third time, louder yet. “Excuse me sir, aren’t you Moses?” Again, no movement or words from the old man. He continued to stare at the ceiling.
One of George W’s aides asked him if there was a problem, and George W. said, “Either this man is deaf or extremely rude. I have asked him three times if he was Moses, and he has not answered me yet.” To which the man, still staring at the ceiling finally replied to the aide, “I can hear him and yes, I am Moses, but the last time I spoke to a bush, I spent 40 years wandering in the wilderness.”
