It's been a whirlwind of activities for me, not only for the past few months but actually for the past few years!!

Realized quite recently that these have been a crazy number of years for me. It all started after my holiday with my family in 2005 to the US after year 1 sem 2 in uni. Came back and went through the lowest point in my life, faced disillusionment, depression and a was very far from the Lord.

Busyness with school kept me from facing the Lord til my 21st birthday last year. By God's grace, I came back into the spiritual family and worked on my relationship with Him. That was also a period of applying for a semester abroad in the US. After getting accepted into the exchange programme and doing all the admin work for that, had to complete my Professional Attachment.

Next, flew off for the US in Aug (after having met up with as many friends as I could before leaving.) Had a great time there, with periods of homesickness in between. Came back in Dec, celebrated Christmas and started my final semester in NTU. It was seriously the most trying semester for me. But praise the Lord, He brought me through it victoriously.

After a month of resting, left for Europe where I went from place to place to place (8 countries in a month!) Got back at the end of June and started work a week later.

WOW!! I cant believe I managed to fit all of that into my last 2 years!!

It's been a great time. And though busy, I want to thank God for His amazing blessings, and most of all, for His love.

Lord, thank You for Your faithfulness in bringing me through my course with so much more than a intellectual knowledge. Thank You for blessing me with friends with which I can share Your love with. Thank You for giving me success, blessing me with a job before I finished my studies. Thank You for letting me grow up under Your care and protection, keeping me safe from the enemy. Thank You Lord for loving me. :)

Jer 29 "11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

Looking back I can see God's goodness in my life. His blessings have been numerous, more than I could ever have asked for. Now that I am in the marketplace as a working adult, I am excited to put all that I have learnt intellectually, emotionally and (most importantly) spiritually into use, translating knowledge into action.

Lord, I'm ready for the next stage in my life. I want to reclaim all that You have redeemed, to bless my colleagues, have fellowship with them, to meet their needs and the proclaim Your truths. Grant me courage and remind me to push myself beyond my own limits. Thank You Lord. I love You. Amen!!

+ AMEN
