盛|Dickson ~ My Solemn Promise

Sitting at one corner with a blank mind of mine, the air was cold, but i could barely remember… i got to know this guy in a drill training, he’s tall and quiet, his appearance is a good guy type. He’s obedience too, unlike other teenagers who tends to be ‘guai gu’.

I still remember, this guy insisted to attend drill training when he was having “red eyes” sickness. And on the very same day, i was able to recognized his passion. It’s not the passion on drill, but the passion to serve rather than perform.

Yong Xiang, time pass like flash, i have never expect that you will have to leave us, although i believe that we all are gladful that you were chosen to continue your study in Singapore, but you know, things always happen in ironic way. I saw you guys cried, and i saw your waterly eyes too, i know we all will be missing you.

Dear friends, don’t cry.. i know it’s the tears of friendship as a comrade, as a  good friend, or as a Brother. Always remember, our friends and even our family members will leave us one day.. BUT GOD, is with us everyday. Believe that Christ will guide him trough his hard time. And also guide you through the days without him marching together with you. 

Yong Xiang, i prayed that you will continue to grow with guidance from Christ. Always believe that He’s taking the same pace with you whenever you walks.

This is not the first time that i experienced a bro leaving us.. in fact, so many friends left us after youth camp…. from accepted Christ, and turned into lost sheeps. Where are you guys now? I do miss you friends..

I feel very thankful and touched when some boys said “thanks” to me. Although there were times that i got hurt in serving, but i know this road is the narrow one, and slippery, that’s why i shouldn’t expect the journey on the road will be very smooth. Instead, i should expect hard times to come.. it ain’t easy i know, Bro, we need to equip ourselves well.

Never hope that our commitment will return us with glamorous payment, also never hope that even people will say thanks to you… We are here to serve, NOT to PERFORM, or NOT to get the assurance of ability. We should assume that there is no reward for us in life time, but rewards in eternal life.

U-Jeen, Li hong, and Chee hau, it’s hard to believe that we were in the same group in youth camp 4 years ago, because now you all are already a mature leader! Lets continue stay firm and shoulder one another in serving.

My holiday is going to end, and i need to ready my heart for this coming semester. I hope this time will be different.. i don’t want it to be in an ordinary way.
