Sio Jia Kia Bii ( 小姐靠边站 )
Today, I approached someoneone who has been in church for a *GREAT* number of years to help me do powerpoint for the children's christmas musical. Caught her while she was taking the lift up for 2nd service.
"No!" Came the answer. "It's very easy, I've done powerpoint such that you only need to click!"
"No! I don't want to do anything" She smiled, in a c'mon-look-bugger-off kinda way, waving her hands furiously.
"Please!" The same smile came and she disappeared into the lift.
(Fine then, I don't think I should go to the point of begging you!)
Now that I think of it... This person guards her personal life so preciously. She is the one who frequently says she "felt that the Lord is leading her to *substitute this with any ministry you have in mind*", then serves for a year or less and left that ministry. It happened over and over again, children, youth, last I heard from her she felt "called to be a cell group leader"
*sniggers*
How can someone who guard her personal life and time so preciously, who even loathes a last minute request to buy paper plates, who feels more than she does... be a CELL GROUP LEADER!
Horrors. No, HORRORS! She who cares only about herself and protect herself such that she does not 吃亏, how will she have the capability to care for others? I doubt she would go the extra mile for her sheep cos if it inconvenience her, makes her tired, is extra work, chances are, she will not do it.
I have also been thinking... she is probably guarding herself from being hurt because she is still single. I match her age and her single status.
I know I never want to be someone like her. She is the kind of senior single lady that I DO NOT WANT TO BECOME. Senior, notice.... not mature. At her age, she should have more maturity and the ability to care for others, to give more (in my opinion that is). But she is doing the reverse.
She is still the centre of her own universe.
Thank the GOOD Lord, I've found someone who is more gentle in spirit to help me. She should be the same age as the above-mentioned. This lady shudders at the thought of powerpoint, most of them at that age do. But thankfully, she and those kind people around the age I met, are open to the idea and avails herself. She was a life-saver in the AV room. Though fearful of the machine, she manages to figure out the sequence, cos of course, I have prepare everything nicely liao mah.. hehehehe..
Compared to that sio jia... This lady is always at smiles, and we even joked about her husband on stage. So easy to work with. Must get her a little something for Christmas.
Anyhow, the Lord saves the day.
As for the above-mentioned... I've drop my points about her swiftly. I will leave her to God to deal with her *unique* self-centredness. Will not waste my time to be bothered by her and her behaviour.
And funnily, I realised today I enjoy worship more than the past months. I'll leave it to God to finish the rest of me.
On to more practice on Wed, Thurs, Fri.... SATURDAY!!! The day of the musical!!! :)
