A week ago, I talked to patrick. We had a really great time of sharing, right from the time before we came to know the Lord, truly believe in Him, the struggles we faced as we lead the Christian life, and NOW. As we were sharing, i actually got emotional. It's like when i was sharing with patrick about some struggles which i faced, i sort of recall those painful memories, and vividly remember some of the things that i'll pen down in my journal. I used to even write to Charis to complain and even comtemplate between giving up or just keep holding on to my faith and perservere through. Looking back, the Lord has really kept me, used all those difficulty and trying moments to mould me and that means, to be fully broken before Him. As we were sharing, all these just overwhelmed me and words alone simply can't bring out that extensiveness of our father's love for us. The sovereignity of His planning is just, Amazing.
Sometimes, i get frustrated, and even upset and at loss with some of the things i desire to do for the Lord, yet i don't know how and where to go about doing. I asked, how Lord? How? This has only led me to be more dependent on Him, and not my ability. At the end of the day, when i see the growth in the youths, the greatest joy i can take is that all these are the work of the Lord. We are merely his tools. So especially to Dazz, may this serve as an encouragement and reminder to you as you start a new exciting journey. :)
Taking time to talk to people like Patrick, Dazz, Sarah has just further AMPLIFIED the Lord's goodness and His grace!! How even people like Sarah, who's like down under, but our Lord is sovereign, and He's working in her life too. What more can I say but just want to love the Lord more and MORE and MORE. haha.. Dazz and I are going to try and make an effort to meet up with each other on a weekly basis. We need to spend time with each other.
Oh by the way, Maths was simply hilarious yesterday. While the teacher was lecturing us about being serious in our work, preparing for tutorials, etc, out of the blue, my eyes gleamed and i pointed my finger at the opposite block. Rusy, carol and i gave a grin. It was just so random, but such a funny moment.

That was something Daryl taught us yesterday. I'll blog about it more the next time round. For now, it's all about my very good friend, Keynes. (ps: only econs students will know what i mean)
