a day at the Garden
wow... its been awhile since the last post.. well basically wanted to share about this experience that i had not too long ago. I was doing gardening at one of Don's friend's place, and my goodness! It was a real challenge. Firstly i do not like to do gardening.. basically all i ever did for gardening was cut grass and water.. i never dared to venture into the soil because i simply cannot stand the feeling and the sight of touching.. ok enough said. Well so anyway i was doing it to bless Uncle Heng Kwai and Citi from YWAM. Little did i know that not only was it gardening, it was more than that we ended up clearing a whole bunch of bricks and debris from this HUGE pile of unknown black stuff which formed an insect's mount everest. There were lots of unused and mouldy roof tiles too, in the end we took 3 rounds to clear everything. Did most of the dumping in a HDB flat rubbish collection station (had to give $20 ang pao to the indian men) and just kept loading and clearing the mountain of whatever. We started at about 10 or 11 in the morning and worked all the way till about 63o - 7. Well just as we finished (or just decided that it was enough) God spoke while i was cleaning up. He said something like :" This garden is like your heart, or could be like it once was. Most of it looks good, but there are certain areas that are black and stained, some easy to remove and some are like a stronghold which you've built up over the years. But if you allow me to clean you, slowly each and everyday that you walk in Me i will remove bit by bit until your heart is totally clean. And it will be Beautiful." Wow.. God can really speak using anything as long as you are willing to hear. In the end we got $200 from Teresa and $100 went to each person respectively. Credit goes to my fellow workers - Don, Ben Wu, Uncle Heng Kwai and Merv (super sub) We did it for a good cause man. Bless others. And maybe just maybe get to learn something while doing it ;)
