I had a great and awesome time at dinner yesterday with some friends and our pastor.

Of course, when I mean our pastor I'm referring to Ps. Mark, City Church KL. There were 6 of us at the table last night at this nice Italian restaurant, PizzaUno at Centrepoint. There were Ps. Mark, Aaron Paul (the worship leader), Ben & Jo's (our future life group leaders) and Skye and I. We had an awesome time talking about church, about its really early days, about some of the future plans and events this year. And just about any random topic that you can think about. I enjoyed the company heaps and I really marvel at the way God puts people together and make their paths cross and just see how sometimes there is so much of a connection happening, not just on a surface level (because you can get those friends most of the time), but more on a spiritual level. The moment of magic that happens when one shares a dream or a vision about church or God and the rest reacting like its the best thing that's gonna happen in our lives and in church.

We talked about a range of topics, even things like church anniversary, church camp, new visitors and new Christians material, and just about anything. Food was great too, with Ps. Mark insisting on ordering dessert, which turned out like sin (in his words), meaning nice to see and tempting, but once you eat it you feel guilty, because of all the calories and the extra work out you need to do to burn them off.

I really thank God for putting awesome people in my life and people of the same vision, same heart, same dream and of the same spirit. I know that I know that I know this year will be AWESOME! I can't help but think that God will just multiply and display His awesomeness and glory through City Church KL this year, in 2007! There is no feeling like the feeling of having God right in the centre of your life and plans.
