thank God for a wonderful time in Chiangmai! first week was spent with Jasmine and second week was with the galilee team- David, Shirlyn and Arina. i haven't really gotten the time to sit and reflect on everything that has happened systematically, and i've had pains trying to answer questions my friends ask about what i've done and what i've learnt there. in the next few posts, i'll slowly recount the blessings and lessons as the days go by- from Day 1 all the way till Day 16. time there seemed to have passed by both slow and fast at different times, and there were moments where time just seemed to stop moving. but all in all, God allowed me to open my eyes to a bigger place that had needs that needed to be met, and problems of their own that came up in the most subtle ways. agreed with Bro Nat that 16 days is nothing compared to 365 days of what the Korean missionarys would call a "short term" mission trip.
redpants called yesterday! i'm so glad to hear from her! one thing i'm really thankful for is for how God has sustained our friendship since we were 16. she told me something that i completely agree with. yesterday was great cuz i managed to spend time with rosemary too.. God's placed different close friends in my life to be of support to me whenever i'm down and out... and redpants said that very often we just need a friend that believes in us and the things that we're doing. no matter what others may say- we stick with each other and our decisions, and keep each other close to God. though we're all at different phases, i'm so thankful for all of you... and you know who you are, especially redpants, rosemary and sugar who's now in langkawi...
going to analyse a long thick article that Bro Nat gave to me on what to do after graduation. i know i need to be especially prayerful about 2012. just filed for graduation yesterday, and i can't wait to do my very best for the final sem of my uni life. i'll be taking numerical analysis 2, advanced ordinary differential equations, gender studies, physical questions of everyday life, and intro to media writing. sounds very daunting and yet it's super exciting! mixture of everything i love to do. it's so unbelieveable that i've already gone through 2.5 years of studying in the uni that i remember my friends and i were dreaming of entering together since sec school. now, i'm only a few steps closer to the day that i step out of the convocation hall, wearing my graduation gown. time really really flies....
my personal commitment is that i'm going to keep even closer to God for this coming 2012... it's going to be a year of added commitments, with sunday school being one other responsibility, and a desire to continue discipleship in crusade and in church. sounds very very crazy now that i think about it.. but I know God will help me.. and now He reminds me that if i fail to plan, i plan to fail...
in a country that we can find so many things we love and can find so many alternative idols to put our faith in, i pray that this simple verse and song will continually ring in my head till He comes again.
i know that He will supply all my needs,
and the glory of Heaven is far greater
than the struggles that i have to put up with
on this temporary place on Earth...
Matt 6:33 - seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.
