Today, I finally submitted my application.. After... 4 years... :)
The wick of the 2012 candle is almost reaching it's end. The promises of the Lord are still inching their ways into my life.
I've just returned from an eye opening and heart moving Mission Exposure Trip to the Philippines, partnering with the Ambassadors For Jesus Christ (AFJC), which Alvin and Jace started about two years back.
This trip has taught me a lot. It has opened my eyes and mind, and moved my heart to a new dimension of faith, and I'm even more convicted in doing the work the Lord has called me and spoken about of me during my presbytery. The people of God needs to see what God is doing out there, and fan aflame their passion and commitment to the Kingdom of God... :)
I would write more, but maybe not today....
Tonight, I sat before my decommissioned laptop. It has been through a lot this year... but it still works. Now, I've decided to leave it here.. maybe. For some reason, I felt led to read through my blog entries from the beginning of this year. I looked at the ups and downs I've been through, and an emotional season as well... the unfolding of God's plans has brought many "whaos" to my mind, and what seemed like darkness back then has now light shed upon them.
Hopefully, I will write another entry before the year ends.
But now I thought I'd just post some photos of my recent fun activities, so as to keep my failing mind reminded in the years and seasons to come.. of God's hand upon my life, His faithfulness.
