it’s been about 5 months since i first accepted Christ and what an exciting 5 months it has been… everything has been happening so fast in my Christian life that sometimes, I wish things don’t happen that fast. I want to experience and indulge before the next experience comes in…. but i guess it isn’t stopping yet. 5 months as a christian, i faced my very first objection today. major objection. so major, i might lose a relative.
since day 1, my mum told me to keep it under wraps. she doesn’t want me to tell anyone that i’m now a Christian. but i couldn’t contain my excitement – i went to tell my uncle and his wife, since they are already Christians… so i managed to keep it under wraps.. until today. We were lunching and someone mentioned about her partners being my church members… and my uncle blurted "ky is from that church wat!" and my aunt’s attitude changed 180 degrees. Her eyes turned cold and she said "ky probably joined the church so that she can close more deals". then she started tearing…. and after that, the plan after dinner was to go shopping. mum asked if i wanted to tag along. i wasn’t sure cos since it’s my aunt’s birthday, i don’t wanna spoil her mood – judging from her funny expression when she found out i was christian. then she said "anywhere SHE (refering to me) is going, i’m not going."
WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. i was really sad. i started crying. why am i judged because i am a Christian? aren’t Christians humans? i am aware that Christians have been too pushy towards her… and that she hates Christians… but i’m her favourite niece. does believing in a different God immediately put me in jail? I’m disappointed. but i guess i can only pray…. hopefully one day her heart will soften.
