My Church Experience

The last time I experienced this was a long time ago. The year I know not and really don't want to remember. But it's just so vivid in my memory. I was in Church, so lively and spirit-filled. And this familiar girl was seated right beside me. You know how penticostal churches do. "Give your neighbour a high five!", "give the Lord a big shout!" and on like that. Men can testify to this. You're quite lucky to have this beautiful chic sitting right beside you. It kind of lift your spirit. You want the pastor to repeat it all over again. When you hear tell your neigh... You're up your feet grabbing the delectable lady seated by. You open your thirty-two and ready to hit it out. "It is well with you!", "Your miracle is on the way!" Of course you're as surprised as your friend about how spirited you've suddenly become after a tiring day at work or listening to that boring lecturer at the Company law class.

On this day, I was very unlucky to sit close to this girl. I'd had a terrible day at the university. You know when you'd classes from 8am to 4pm and eventually had a couple of hours to grab a healthy meal and ready for some spiritual experience... Pastor Kazman was on the hyper-revelation on this fateful day. He was just throwing at us revelations, prophesies and stuffs. I was really ready to get all. Then this "turn to your neighbour" started.

"Turn to your neighbour", Pastor began, "Look her right in the eyes"
Hhug!, I really don't like what I saw but It's a church, you're not just lucky about it all the time. Everyone is so ready to get on with the prophesies.
"Tell your neighbour your miracle is on the way", he continued
I can't take this anymore! This girl is not only not fine, she's just going to douse my spirit man! Before too long, you know I've got to get these blessings and she's not going to let me lose it if he can't help me gain it.

Some people are just like that. They put their problems on their heads as if they're the only people in the world with challenges. I try to avoid them these days. I almost got one on sunday (a story for another day). It's common knowledge that life could be harsh and you'd always experience difficulty in life. It's just a springboard to achieving greatness.

Put a smile on your face, you never know who you influence just doing that.

Dear Lord...

It's a great day you know and I'm looking forward to what the day holds more. I'm checking my mails now, in a long time you know. But I'm impressed about many things. Finally, my friend, Barbara has started blogging. That's really great. I guess Barbara has finally kept to her resolution to start blogging this year. I'm so happy for her...



What's up with me this time? Honestly I don't know. I'm just taking life as it is. I'm torn between my vanity and my spirituality. I know quite well the difference between the sacred and the profane. I don't want to be "over-spiritual". I just want to grow at my own pace. Just take things as they come. But man is not just a physical being! Man is spiritual, therefore I'm spiritual. So spiritual things must really be held with importance.



I hope I'll be able to balance that. I love my vanity as well you know, my career, women, friends, people and all. The deep people of course are spiritual. Spiritual is quite relative and for clarity, I'm talking about that deep feeling of communion with God and that latent satisfaction within that you're on the right track. Of course the holy book tells me that once I seek His kingdom, all other things will be added to me.

Lord, I crave for this deep feeling, of closeness to you. I really ask for this and I believe I'll get it. I really hope I can put my career, forgo the women and hope I don't miss out from those stories with friends in future, and be focused on you.

This, I ask of you dear Lord.
