Taking stock

I realized i didnt explicitly thank God for something very important, and when i really got down to reflect, it really caused me to be eternally grateful to Him and his goodness.

Wait a minute, if you are wondering why i have so much time to reflect during exam week, it's because Im too stressed now to study anything. So instead of dwelling in my negativity, Im just thinking of what has God done for me. This entry is for one of many.

Apart from Mum (who has transferred to a nearer church), the other person which stayed and became rooted in church is sister Z. She was my LTB classmate during year 1, and i guess like other foreign students she also struggled with the language and the superficial nature of SMU life. To cut the story short, she felt the love of God and gave her life to Jesus last year.

As i take stock, i realize she was one of the big encouragements God has given me. Just seeing how far she has come since those awkward LTB presentation days (for her, not me) really touched me. She has joy and a purpose, a nicer hair cut, haha, and just being an endearing sister to the cell group. She's open to share with people her struggles and that encourage me alot everytime we study together. (it doesnt harm that she always help me in my studies!)

Yes, Wai Chit struggles alot in his studies.

Anyway, i was extremely touched and proud of her during her baptism a couple of weeks back. She was courageous in sharing her testimoney before her best friends. Up la Z! It was a poignant moment when she came out from the water, signifying her "death" and a new life in Christ. I wanted to cry (inside) at that instant, really. A life changed. And I played a small part.

Being the shy person I am (i can hear the groans MX and P..), i struggled to congratulate her and take a picture together until Ariel reminded me. Haha.

To:
God - you are really good to me, to bring her to you and witness her growth. And now, to see her encourage others. Thanks Lord. really.

Z - hopefully you wont read this entry, haha i think i will be abit embarassed. But yeah, Im so proud of you. I am blessed to see you from day 1 and now, a sister growing in the Lord. Even though your first impression of me was a crafty person, it's okay. Hahaha

Cheers
