Childhood
There are not many things you can remember vividly from your childhood. But there are some moments you will definitely remember till the day you leave this world.
All these memories, I can still see them clearly when I close my eyes now... Moments like; getting my PSLE results, getting caned by my mum when I lied to her that remedial lesson was still on but in fact I stayed back in school to play with my friends; getting beaten on the hand by my Chinese teacher when I forgot to get my parents to sign my spelling book...
And of course, how can I forget the moment where I, in my kindergarten years, was locked in the toilet in church and a male adult had to climb from the next cubicle to mine to 'save' me.
His face is still clearly etched in my memory. The look on his face when he carried me out of that cubicle. That look that said 'You are safe now.. Dun cry anymore...'.
He left church a few years later. And today, he came back to our church to preach. The moment I saw him, I knew. I knew he was the one who saved me from the toilet. [Sounds weird saying this.. ha...] But of course, I didn't tell him that I remember him for that...
And today, something he said left a very deep impression on me, which I believe I will remember for life as well.. He said, "God cares about you, and there is nothing you can do about it."
Isn't it amazingly true? God cares about me, whether I like it or not. I am safe now, in His mighty hands. I can stop crying now.....
