No more MEET

Sigh... I knew it might happen but I did it anyway...

After hearing about MEET, Mission Equiping and Exposure Trip, I decided to apply for it. It seems to be a good program where participants undergo training for 9 months and a mission trip overseas for a month. The equiping part seems good as not many mission trips emphasize this. Anyway, this would be a real mission trip. We'll link up with a local there and live with them. No comfort... rough it out.

After going through so much hassle, I finally got the green light. But deep down in my heart I was wondering if I could really make it for the trip as they would go somewhere between May and July next year. I have my professional attachment at that time. How nice!

So went for the first meeting. Got to know my team members, briefing and etc. Was exicted... I had hope that I would go. This semester I cut down on other activities to make way for this. Meeting is almost every week for 3 to 4 hours, see. That means risking my hall points as we have to accumulate points to stay in hostel next year.

But just last week, I got a call, saying that I can't go for the trip. Either I attend just the training or postpone it to next year. Sigh.... chose the latter. Really hope to join one day. Sob...sob...

Busy Bee

Super busy lately... time just seem to zap pass without me noticing. can't believe weekend is over! Argghhh! and I haven't finish this week's work yet.... when I should be starting my revision by now... behind schedule... argh!

Let's see... wednesday and thursday do project. Friday went for MEET interview. Saturday, friend's wedding. Today? Church and community work... later got project not again?

Yeah, wedding... it was a very nice experience. Knew the couple last year and are in the same cell group. 29 years old. They met in NTU... hmmm.... getting back, it was very emotional. Felt like crying when I saw the father and bride walk down, and again when they exchange their vows. Both cried... so meaningful and lovely to see two people tying the knot. Encouraged to see their boldness in taking the opportunity to share the gospel and pleaded their parents to accept Christ. Wish all the best to Kerk and Shiyi! May you both have a beautiful and blessed life ahead together!

Then, community work. When to the home for the disabled. Usually, we'll spend time with them. But today the lady incharged made us clean the building. NO complains, but took so much longer... and I'm so tired.

Saturday was burnt, today, almost gone... not mention now is SUPPOSED to be my mid term break, but it doesn't even feel like it. I'm should be home! But tomorrow onwards got workshop to groom us to behave professionally. Ah, what the heck!

God is Good

Can't explain what I'm feeling... just last week at this time, I felt so weary and burdened. Everything seem to be worthless.

But thank God, He has lifted me up. Yeah, I admitted I did something wrong... perhaps it didn't please Him. My focus was not right. Thank God for His rebuke and dealings with me. Thank God there's forgiveness in Him. Yet another second chance for me.

This week was just the opposite. I learnt to surrender everything (am still learning). And everything seem to go right. Yeah, felt God put something within me. Just can't explain the new liberty I've found!

God, You're Good! Amen!
