Rumours
The speed in which rumours are spread is truly scary! Something about me actually went all the way to Australia ... haha.
A friend was pestering me to share some "good news" with her via msn, and I was like, "??? what good news?" Apparently, another friend said she saw me with someone and told this friend who quickly "interrogated" me when she saw me on msn. I was like ???? - I didn't know if I should cry, laugh, or sigh ... hahaha
Well, let me say it again, "I'm a hermit", and I can hardly find time to study and clear all my readings/assignments, so ... Of course I'm thankful for friends who are concern about me, and who kept telling me, "Open your eyes BIG BIG ..." I guess my focus is now on studies and my relationship with God, and at the same time working on some aspects of my character to be a more refine/virtuous person for the Lord. Yes, I'm getting to know more people, and yes, I'm keeping my options open, and while I'm waiting for the Lord to reveal more in this aspects, I'm learning to be the RIGHT woman for whoever that God will choose to bless me with. To me, it's not so much waiting for the RIGHT man (I guess I've met him, but we've both decided that we would be better off as good friends than anything else =) but being the RIGHT woman. I think we are often "bought into" the idea that there's a RIGHT guy that we need to be on the lookout for, failing to be reminded that we on our own end, should constantly work on ourselves to be the RIGHT gal for the person (I won't even use the term "RIGHT guy") .. haha
Alright, enough of this about me - I shouldn't be writing so much about myself in this blog at all, if not to clarify with my other friends who would have heard the same rumour and who would be "interrogating" me, so read my clarifications here ...
As I reflected about what has happened, I was just telling myself, "WOW, the effects of rumours ... if only the Word of God, and the Gospel of the Lord can be so effectively spread - within hours, within days, beyond miles." Isn't it funny how we choose to spread good news about people whom we are concerned for so that many others can share the joy and blessings with the person involved? Or isn't it "amazing" the speed that gossips travel - and we begin to shun the person involved like a plague? If we're only as excited about spreading the Good News of God, and what God has done for us like how rumours will spread.
Funny how many years it takes the Gospel to reach ears of people, versus the hours/days a rumour extends beyond miles ... irony of ironies, mockery of mockeries ...
