It is the second week of Youth Alpha and it keeps getting better and better. And soon with those people who will be coming back soon from Jeremiah School (Christine, Yuen Mei and Rekha), it's going to be a lot more fun, that's for sure.
Anyway, Alpha Youth has taught me a lot in terms in being alone without those 3 older girls. Being practically one of the 3 girls left is quite awkward because girls used to be a majority in MYF. With the new MYFers who are all guys, the number of girls has certainly diminished.
That is why I feel a bit awkward on the first Alpha. It was so overwhelming because there used to be 6 of us, now it is down to 3. It was scary.
But somehow, I changed throughout the week. I just have a burden in me to be perfect for God, not being angry easily and to think before I say anything. That somehow, made me to be bold and brave.
Back to Alpha, there is always sports before Alpha. We'll be playing against the boys who will come to our church to play basketball every single week. It was quite fun, the game.
One thing about Alpha: it sets a non-threatening environment to people. There is no such thing as a stupid and nonsense question. And I was quite surpriced initially at how light the discussions are.
Although the attendence is not consistent, I pray and hope that people will be interested to know more and come every week.
Praise be to God for making this a reality.
