Update: Priorities

Ehem. Someone was hinting to me I should update my blog. Well, at least she reads it. Hehe. I was so encouraged I decided to do it straightaway!
What's been happening?
Well. Life i guess. My high point this week was convincing a new convert not to work on Sunday and to make God a priority[well hopefully getting to top priority] in her life. It was so difficult. I was trying to anticipate her response when I met up with her on Monday. I know that the several times i was first 'exhorted' or lectured by my shepherd I really reacted badly internally. Even now, I don't take correction that well at first. But I am trying veryvery hard with God's grace to liten to anything humbly, whether it's a leader or a younger person trying to teach me.
This new convert made me feel ashamed. She was open, receptive and willing to listen and quite cheerful. Very fast to respond as well.
People's lives are SO worth investing into. I love people. Ps Lai Ling talked to about really liking to be around people. I'm the same. I get the buzz from being around ppl, one on one, or even a crowd. I love interaction. I love the fact that ppl can be influenced through that interaction for the kingdom.
Funnily enough, I'm also very goal driven. Goals drive me to succeed in a very strong way.
These traits makes me emotional[with ppl], yet not emotional[when a task is at hand]. I have the capacity to push aside the greatest pain if there is work to be done and a goal to be achieved.
Everyone is different. I used to have friends that collasped into a puddle if there was a crisis happening and would maybe not go to work, maybe stop serving temporarily.....
Some however, don't seem to have any crisis...they are forever calm and cool.
What are the rest of you like? Would love feedback.
Just some thoughts...more about general daily life in the next post.

Love Alicia...but....

I've loved Alicia Keys since I was a teenager. She's gorgeous, talented, with an impeccable image of ghetto funkiness plus classy elegance. Love her voice and love her ideas. But....the lyrics....have more often than not been ...disappointing. I do think this article provides accurate critique of her work.

There is still a chance for the 71,849 single men

I opened my facebook profile and LO and BEHOLD, I saw a string of comments, wall comments and msgs in my inbox congratulating me about my 'not-single anymore status'. Why? Because I decided to remove the 'single' listing on my Facebook profile. I merely didn't want to post it up anymore. A whim that resulted in... HILARIOUSNESS! Here are a couple of samples: "Charis has been woozy since thursday, is it luvvve??" "huh? o_O? is there something i don't know??" "so when u going to belanja us all makan??? >. "heh.... really!?....there are 71,849 single men in brisbane who will be very dissapointed... very.." "is this for real .. if so, congrats charis :-)" "Hey great news to hear, Congrats loh! By the way who is the lucky Guy?" " Hey. No longer single? Share some news. ;) " Man o man!
