Liberty
My mind was not in a whirlpool of pandemonium or something like that, but somehow, I felt the need to go to church for a time of solitude. Headed down together with Ruth and to set aside a day with God and for God. Tired- strickened, having to wake up early was a real challenge at the start of the day. In addition, I did not plan beforehand the things which I wanted God to reveal to me during the time with Him. So there was I, a person without expectation, going into the 'quarantine' room alone. Before I started session 1, I feared that I would not be able to sustain for more than an hour, givng credit to the fact that I'm the type of person who gets bored easily. Well, what comforted me so much during the introductory part was the phrase that illustrates about how God chose that particular day to come and minister to me. Yes me. I felt so lifted, so love by Him. In the past, I would just believe that God loves me, and I'll try to kind of psycho myself to believe in this fact that was to me, impossible. But as I was doing session 1 on God's love, all I could feel was God's presence that was so close to me. This next sentence strucked me terribly hard. "Rejoice that you are what you are; for our Lord loves you very dearly. He loves the whole of you, just as you are." I was also thankful that I was able to relate one of my bitter friendship experience with Aunty Muifong. And what amazed me was that both of us were in the same boat before. I have learnt that peace does not merely come from frienship, studies or even career, but our peace ought to be centered and grounded on God. All I could say is that it was really God's timing.
Studied together with Jean for awhile after church, but ended up talking. I'm thankful for this sister that God has provided. I'm thankful for the certain level of trust God has placed in the both of us. Then there was I, together with people like ting, will, evan, edwin, yingci, joel, amy and ryan at the NUS concert. A well- writtened script, embedded with lots of joy, laughter and humour.
