meekness - an unknown strength of mine

starting from last weekend, i've been having a crazy week. should i say a more appropriate word is a stretching week. I won't say i ain't prepared for it but i didn't expect it to be that crazy. But amid the tiredness there was sweetness as well.
First of all, the unit met up last sat @ east coast for activities. From what i can recall, this is like the 2nd or 3rd time, the unit had an event. Some of the people went blading while others went cycling. A good news is that our Miss Lady Diana, finally plucked up the courage to cycle and she made it to Bedok Jetty with us. The even more surprising news is that she got to the Jetty like just 5 mins after me. *clap clap*. Really want to applaud this sister of not being afraid to fall but really try to join us. While most of us reached the jetty, our dear camera man was busy snapping on his way there. Finally after a long wait..he arrived and we had a group picture..
Then on sunday, after service, some of us proceeded to Weilong's house for DMM plus to visit this brother who fell down on sat during the blading session. During the unit DMM, our unit leader told us to write our our strengths and gifts that we have..then we pass the paper around and other people will write what they observe about our strengths and giftings. Guess what..a brother wrote this word "Meekness". When my dear shepherd saw this, she was shocked and puzzled why would he use meekness to describe me. Ok for those who don't understand the meaning of this word, it means..."humble and not likely to complain, argue, react strongly."
My shepherd was so 困扰 by this and she keep thinking he must have seen something in me that nobody can see. Seriously, i too am puzzled by his description of me. but yet @ the same time, i am happy that someone saw something in me that nobody can see. The feeling is very happy coz someone can see the sweet spirit in me. I can vouch that the explanation "humble and not likely to complain.." perhaps don't really suit. But the second part on "argue, react strongly.." i agree. I don't argue if i don't have a stand. I will only argue if i really see something wrong about it. I agree that i don't react strongly. hee. While i want to thank the brother for being so affirming. :)
