This whole one week have been filled with all sorts of excitement and freshness though of course I still get the fair share of frustration and emotions of ups and down like everyone else.
I was on a course that showed me how we can solve problems with a critical(in a positive light) and creative mind. Its a amazing how we can use our mind and by realizing somethings change our foundation of belief which in turn change our attitude and behaviour. 1 major bring away was on the memory. Will you believe me if I gave you a set of 30 random words and ask you to memorize them and be able to say it forward and backwards within 5mins or less? The truth is most of us can. Cool right? So now that we realize what God have given us, lets not waste it.
TO WHOM MUCH HAVE BEEN GIVEN, MUCH WILL BE EXPECTED FROM YOU
I got to explore my Dad's camp and allowed him to show me what he does. I'm really proud of my Dad and respect him for sacrificing so much for us. He was training under the Special Operations Force and went through the Ranger Course(TOUGHEST COURSE in SAF) until he gave it all up to set up a family. He stayed in the Force mainly to provide for the family and I'm grateful. When I was there, I felt immensely for him, in particular why his life was so hard. His parents passed away when he was 15 leaving him nothing but an empty beer bottle. He pretty much had to survive on his own without much education and now still has to work tirelessly everyday despite his seniority and age. I'm glad he has 2 great achievements, his 2 sons(=p) despite all this. I'm sure he is comforted. =) Thank God for my Dad for grooming 2 great sons. =)
Oh and on one of this night as I was on my way home, I met Mr Goh (the partially blind man that sells tissue paper at Yio Chu Kang MRT station since I was in College). We've become friends since I was in College and we do contact one another especially since he's a brother. =) As I was going to transfer to a bus, I passed by the spot, that usual spot that Mr Goh use to sit and sell tissue. And to my surprise, he was there after such a long time of not seeing him. I was tired and wanted to go home as soon as possible. Whats more we just chatted one the phone 1-2 weeks back. But somehow after I walked a distance away, the Lord brought me back right in front of him wanting me to encourage him. So I still in uniform squatted there and chatted with him. It was comforting knowing that the Lord still provides for him and allows him to worship on Sunday with a congregation at Presbyterian High School. And as we chat, I saw(cause he can't see so I can't say we saw) God's hands of providence through people. I was encouraged. Even as we chatted, he himself offer words of encouragement and help me see that our life is in His hands. I went back home that night feeling good that His love have manifested in that conversation. Hopefully time will permit me to bring him out again.
That pretty much summarized it all.
I pray that as I begin to align my life to You, You will guide me and show me the Destiny that You have planned for me. May your work be done for the harvest is full. Gather your sons and daughters, Heavenly Father and unite us as one to work on the harvest.
