My First Book

To kick off, I have to confess. I'm not a reading type of a person.

I hardly touch my history book when I was in my secondary years.

Thank God I passed somehow!

Not using it an excuse for not working hard in my studies in my future though.

Through my years in Hope, different people just come and challenge me to read books and they gave me books to read but I just cant finish it!

Even though I admire people that really investing their time in reading books and got inspired by what they had learned, reading it myself is totally a different thing.

Beginning of 2010, a book became so popular among the church people. Most of the guys were really challenged by it.

Yea, I was really challenged by just the title of the book.

Hmm..

What the heck?

Just a book.

So what?

This year Johnson approached me and challenge me to read this book.

Well, I was thinking no big deal.

I took it.....

Chapter 1...

*gulp*

Stop...

The book speared MY HEART LIKE MAD!!

I kept it with me for 3 months until I come to a point that I'm really struggling with this issue in my life. So, I took the challenge, took it out, blew the dust covered the book.

BEHOLD,

For a typical Gen-X guy, to by-pass the title is quite a heart-piercing experience. What more to say the content inside?

I was really challenge by the book for the first few chapters. It makes me feel like I'm the worse guy ever as I look back how I treated my past relationships. Gosh.

Thank God. The author mentioned about God's grace is sufficient for us to turn our life 180 degree =)

Yea, was really challenged and I really took it seriously and properly settled my past relationship properly.

IT HURTS!! Yet, is the right thing to do and is pleasing in God's eyes.

I cried. Yes. Aaron cried.

I need to pray that they will forgive me to because I believe I've hurt them as well.

Don't look back.

Let my past be the past and let God make me new.

Thank God I've got out of it.

Lets move on.

Matt 6:33

Cheers,
