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! =)

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 ...

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.

Gamble

It's been quite some time since the last post, and time has just been ticking on. I'm entering a new phase in my career in a new office at Queenstown. Things are good on the work front, as I've been given a vote of confidence and responsibilities despite my young age. Eventually I'll be getting re-designated as a Team Leader, and looking forward to it! It's a sign that I am well versed enough in the work. Another part of my life that has been looking up - playing keys/bass for the newly created Saturday Service for church. I feel that spiritually things are well despite the turmoil of last year. A great sense of fulfillment and meaning whenever I do that, as if I'm back to my roots. In terms of leisure the usual things:  1. Soccer - Late night matches (back to the good old days) 2. PS4 - Trying to finish off Tales of Berseria, moving on to Assassins Creed: Origin thereafter 3. Anime - Still watching the good old stuff that is still going on (One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh,...
