love you.

"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
John 15:12-14

It was so great to catch up personally with Si, Joyce, Olie, Steph and Jaytee these two weeks. Coupled with an emotional issue that I was facing, I realized friendship with AA3 is such a lovely thing, and I want it to last forever. I mean it.

Yesterday, I looked through all of the 1294 of my pictures on Facebook (!!!). And I had this feeling welling up in me, not the tears that the man with rickets gave me, but some beautiful feeling. And I want to say I love you.

I love you AA3. I love you because you're in AA3, because we spent two funny years together, and because you are so beautiful and charming as God sees you, just as worthless yet worthy like me for Jesus to die for us to be friends forever.

I want to be friends with you for eternity. I want to be friends with you personally. I want to tell you the Awesome Story. I want to be able to love you so much that if we were one day held hostage, I will die on your behalf, in your place, like my Lover and Friend did. I want to walk with you and love you while we live here, and walk with you and love you like Jesus does...till eternity.



I know I have talked about you once, twice, thrice, four, five, six times. And then for a year and a half, I stopped talking about you and I wasn't really interested in you because I didn't think you were worth my time anymore.

I want to name you just again. To Si, Joyce, Olie, Adiba, Reks, Haz, Arina, Steph, Sam, Mel, Ank, Jaytee, Kenneth, Sher, Simin, Grace, Ches, Ivan, Amos: I love you.
