A new lease of life

Yesterday i finally told my parents that i've converted to become a christian. It was a big decision to make because i was once a buddhist. I thought that i have finally accepted god in my heart and i am willing to commit myself to being a christian. At first, my mum asked me why didn't i ask for her permission before making this decision. She asked what made me want to be a christian all of a sudden. She also asked if i will have the time to commit to being a christian and studying at the same time. Christianity has given us a new purpose and meaning in life. It has given me pleasure from the friends i have come to meet so far. From the church service i attended so far, i found the message which they are bringing forward extremely meaningful. So i have decided to be a christian.
On the same day, it was the first anniversary of the youth association in Hope Church. Last year, they started off by setting up care groups in 5 JCs. Then they expanded and their care groups now exist in all the JCs. So i took time off studying and went to Clementi SIM to celebrate, together with my 2 other VJC friends, Chia Ling and James. We interact with people from all other JCs, played games and prizes were given out for the best of the best and the worst of the worst among JCs. I had a really fun time.
The celebration ended ay around 10pm. We left the place and were walking to the bus stop together. I was sort of playful and was jumping around, as usual. Then, i came upon a metal chain barrier. So i decided to run and jump over it. Unfortunately, i took off too close to the chain. I knew that i was in trouble. My leg got hooked by the chain and i fell flat, hurting my chest and cutting my chin. Immediately, i picked myself up because i didn't want anyone to worry too much. My friends rushed forward and ask if i was fine. At first, i really felt okay except for a damaged chin and a bruised chest. All of a sudden, my mind was spinning. I couldn't balance and felt like fainting. Soon, my eye vision was gone. My friends immediately helped me to the ground and i just laid there. I told myself not to faint. I didn't want my parents to worry about me too. I tried my best to regain my vision and it took a while before vision was regained. From dark to purple then back to normal. It was my first ever experience of nearly blanking out. I had to fight very hard to remain conscious. Thank god that i didn't faint. He gave me the strength to fight on for my family and my friends. Life is precious. We should cherish every moment of our lives and should not commit too much sins. That's the reason why i chose to serve god. Maybe this fall will awaken me, for all the sins i have done and i've been punished for them. But after this, i will commit myself to going to church and atone for my sins.
