Identity

I had a wonderful time pigging out with a good friend yesterday after church. Food was great but company was better!
And as we were making our way home in the train, for no apparent reason, I started taking out the various cards in my wallet and realised the different looks I had for different cards. Ok..some cards had duplicated photos!!



My friend had a few comments on me...
My Driving license was "Argh... Looks neh!!"
My Shell card was "Neh..Not nice." (My sister say why your head like crooked?"
My NUS "AIYO!"
My Hope card "Hmmmm....."
My Diving card "Beach bummer!!!"
Oh! I remember how we derived to this topic!!
I was asking her if I should cut and spike up my hair again!!!
Advice given was = No.
Haha!!! Personally, I love the beach bummer look most!
But I believe there are different seasons to different part of my life. :)

Well...There were a few more cards which I can't find which I remember I looked REAL ugly and young in it! Haha!!
I remember I stashed my primary/secondary bus pass somewhere. Just can't find it.
Will do a search for it one day!!

Well, through this very small exercise, I also come to see how we have become such a "card-ed" world...
In wherever we go, there's always a need for identity.
When I had the police from NPC to come for a security check, one of the security measures is to ensure ALL staff to be "Identified" with the pass.

Ps Lawrence delivered a VERY powerful message yesterday.
We are currently on the Tabenacle series and wow!! I didn't know there's SO much to the Tabenacle!! This series is about the Bronze altar.
An altar is a place for sacrifice. There's a part of the bible where it spoke about how offerings should be given to God.
At the end, there was an ultimate sacrifice - i.e. Jesus Christ.
We watched a short clip from the Passion of Christ.
I remember when I watched it on big screen, not a tear was dropped.
Yesterday, I just can't stop crying.
I am just entralled by the fact that someone died for me.

Because of Christ, we have an identity in Heaven.
We have a citizenship in Heaven.
