Ripening Fruit

Finally, we are in the thick of youth month... As I see the hustle and bustle around me I'm reminded of PoP last year, and this year expectations are running high with SoS... Quite excited to see what will come out of it. If anything, its a big testament of God's faithfulness!

So far I've been focusing more on the leader's training syllabus, and my heart goes out to all the older ones in YE... When I was in YE at the age of 17+ I already found myself not learning much from the weekly sessions, because many of those things were information that I heard before that, and served merely as reminders. I only was able to grow spiritually as a result of putting God and others before myself, and that I learnt through leadership! It's quite fantastic how my spiritual journey improved by leaps and bounds because I was able to forsake my own selfish desires and have that loving relationship with God my heavenly father, and being in favor with man... And I really hope that as many of them find this path as well!

So, some updates on my leisure time activities... For one, I've started being interested in gaming videos, and on youtube I found a channel called Smosh Games that piqued my interest. Most of all I enjoy viewing review + game play videos for some reason I still don't really understand hmmm... Besides that, I've reached the sixth page of Heroic, which is immensely difficult with its left hand repetitions. My left hand hurts even from less than five minutes of metronome practice... I've finished all faction quests for Oblivion, and now focusing on city based quests. Lastly, the latest anime I've watched is Shinigami no Ballad, and I give it a big thumbs up for something different from much of the anime out there. It's only 6 episodes, so its suitable for light viewing.

In my walk with God I find myself in a place of deepening humility, realizing that it is God in control of everything, and I'm merely following along, saying "Here I am, send me..." I also am opening up to the fact that God does not NEED me but He WANTS me to serve with Him. That is immensely humbling, and a new ethos in life that I've come to cherish very much.

My relationship with Van will soon reach 2 years, and what a bountiful and blissful 2 years it has been! Its quite a blessing that when I'm busy with my school work she has the space to support me, and now I'm doing it for her whilst she is busy. God really does put things together with such efficacy... I'm very much enjoying the journey of life that I'm sharing with her, and because of this journey I feel I have matured much and my spiritual life deepened in understanding.

Its been awhile since I've posted, and I've allowed quite a few of my thoughts to amalgamate and ripen, so this post may seem more mellow in a way hmm... Well we'll see what the following weeks bring until the next post! =)

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and

Vanguard

It’s taken a long time, but I think my heart is finally at peace. It’s been a tough journey but I am glad to say the worst of it is over. At the moment am surrounded by those who matter to me and I am doing meaningful things. Truly thankful that God has returned me to such a state.  In this season of Good Friday and Easter the word Vanguard comes to mind. Maybe it’s that season of life where God is exactly that for me, where we will be together in uncharted battlegrounds in both personal and professional life.  Not too sure when my next post will be but hope the next will be better than the last. Until next time!

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
