yesterday, i met up with a friend that i met my freshman year. we don't really get to hang much, but we do see each other every once in a while. x) it was nice to see her again. she brought her boyfriend along. keke~ they're so cute. he seems like a really nice guy. she is such a sweetheart! the only problem is that she's not Christian. i don't know--when i first met her, i totally assumed she was, cuz she's really soft-spoken, and seriously the nicest person i've ever met. but it soon became obvious that she wasn't. i don't know how it came up. i think it was just one of those passing moments when the subject came up, and she had nothing to say. i invited her to come check out fiC with me, but.. keke, she would kinda avoid the subject.. the problem with me is that i give up too easily. i guess i don't want to turn her off, but i shouldn't worry about things like that. the more important thing is that she hears, right? xP but, i dunno.. i guess it just seems harder cuz she is my friend, and i don't want her to not like me.. xP *sigh* still tryin to be a ppl-pleaser....
afterwards, i went to go watch minority report last night. it was very good~ x) i really liked it.. i love watching good movies~ just for those 2 hrs or so, you just get lost into the plot--my life doesn't exist, but i'm just watching the characters on the screen going thru stuff.. i either relate, or jst stand amazed at their resiliency... keke~
once again, i'm at work. of course i got here late again. xP i'm such a horrible employee. it's a good thing that they don't have that much for me to do. otherwise, i'm pretty sure i'd be jobless. but, it's all good. i love my bosses~! they're all so cool! keke, it's like having 3 mothers.. they're the sweetest people in the world! but they're also very quirky.. keke~ i'm so sad.. one of my bosses is leaving for retirement. *sigh* it's gonna be weird here without her...
i was reading my lil new-testament-in-a-year book, and i came across a passage that i've probably read/heard sermons about many many many times.. it's this parable about a fig tree and a gardner. the fig tree wouldn't bear fruit, even after the gardner took care of it for many years, so he got tired of waiting and was gonna cut it down, cuz basically the fig tree was takin up space... my book has a little thing on the bottom after each passage--a brief explanation for the passages. it basically said that we should bear fruit or be prepared to be cut down. i've always heard that phrase--"go forth and bear fruit." but for some reason, last night, i actually thought about what it meant to bear fruit. are the fruits the physical evidence that God dwells in my hearT? so does that mean that i'm bearing fruit when other people can see that i'm a Christian? or, is it the number of people that i reach out to? that i evangelize? or is it something else? how strange that after 21 years of being a Christian, i don't know the meaning of bearing fruit. i guess i always assumed that bearing fruit was just being a "good" Christian, watever that means. it was one of those phrases that gets tossed around a lot.. so it says in the Bible to "go forth and bear good fruit..." *sigh*
