Sovereign Protector

And exams are done with!!! I was pretty pleased when exams were over, and I'm indulging myself with relaxation... Actually not much of it because since then I've had to do stuff like prepare for my teaching for SYC as well as preparing materials for YE sessions! The next thing on my to do list for YE will be to prep for leaders meeting, coming up with next half's schedule, and leaders training... Got my work cut out for me, as always with every holiday period!

So want to take this chance to talk about something that I felt specially that God was speaking to me this week... I've always not taken stuff like internships and enrichment because my time is always taken up by church stuff, and that thought came to haunt me the night before my second last paper... I wanted to sleep early, but ironically ended up awake for some time, thinking about my future and how I would match up with all my peers, who definitely have much more credentials and a bigger CV than I do... Fear crept in, one of a future lived in despair and futility... Well, I still managed to get to sleep, but God replied me two days later I was preparing for teaching at SYC.

Well the topic was about the Adequacy of God, and I read the text in preparation for it, the statement "If God is for you, then who can be against?" stood out to me... It reminded me that though I'd face many fears, that I have a God who's the sovereign protector, and He has prepared a future for me... I felt really comforted about the situation, and I was thankful that He answered, even in that short span of time. Indeed, I find myself coming to a knowledge that God is willing to speak to those who willingly seek Him as well... And because of that I'm really encouraged!

I've always prided myself in my passion for God and my worldview, but I'm also being shown and taught things on a daily basis, and that truly humbles me. I may have come far, but I still have a distance to go. I'm only glad that God continually shows Himself to me though I may be a sinful man. Looking forward to more wonderful life lessons whilst I'm held in His embrace! =)

Genus 2005

Genus Concert went just fine... NUS Guitar Ensemble is really proded! I want to be like that! Lets see... The guitars I want to master are Acoustic, Bass and Classical! Yeah. Actually this year's Genus concert was a bit interesting. They played a Japanese song and some jazz, but most pieces were classical. The Alto runs were really fast. I could tell that the Guitaron player was good too... Saw Josh there! He was there with his HCJCGE Friends. He was sitting in the row in front of mine. Slept on the bus today and missed the loop. Haha. Well. Had to alight, cross the street and take the bus again. And theres this ulcer right in the middle of my middle lip. It hurts whenever I eat something. But I need my food... Ow. I think the heatiness I get from sleeping less hours caused the ulcer. Looking forward to I-Learning. Can sleep more. Haha. Champions League was crazy. I woke up and went to school to hear the results. ManU Lost 2-0 on aggregate to Ac Milan. Barcelona lost to Chelsea 4-5...

Of God and Demons

Now that'd I've put my last phase of life past me and have some more time to reflect cos I'm C+ for the second time, I feel that it's the correct time to do a bit more reflection about my past, especially the last couple of years. I've always thought that one of the counseling exercises practiced would be helpful for me to process what I've been going through - that is to personify my negative emotions. In a sense to experience that final bit of release from these emotions that have threatened me for a long time. To talk about the inner demons that I've been facing.  Wrath. The fiercest of them all, yet gentlemanly in some ways, calculative in others. People usually imagine wrath to be brawny, in your face and belligerent. But my Wrath is more sinister, sly even. Plotting the downfall of my enemies and using the knowledge that I have to exact vengeance. Over the months I have exerted control of him by reminding myself that only God has the right to judge.

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.
