First Week of School AY0506
School's started. And so begins the hectic life of a student once more. Did I mention that I'm glad I'm a student? Well I am. If I ever had the oppotrunity, I don't wanna graduate... well that's just plain stupid..but sometimes I think of doing a Masters or PhD just so that I don't need to out to the workplace...But i guess if all Christians think like that then who will be His witnesses in the workplace? Who will stand out and be counted for Him...Oh well...I'll enjoy my student identity for the next 2 years at least.
There was a Raffles Hall Welcome Supper for all the Christians and pre-Believers in Raffles Hall on Thursday. Thinking back about it, I find myself in those freshmen's shoes 2 years ago and I wonder how did I ended up staying in this Hall for 3 years of my undergraduate life. I started out just wanting to experience Hall culture for the fun of it. But as I did my activites from Concert Marketing, Touch Rugby, Hockey ,Unplugged and Block Committee member, I find each year a reason to stay and do my activites. But for my final year next year, will I also find another reason to stay...
I think back of some of the decisions made in as a Resident of the RH and I can't help but find glimpse of His grace all round. I found out about VCF in the Contact Group in Hall and that's where I still serve. Even now in the capacity of a Hall Contact Group Coordinator. That was unconceivable in Year 1 but look where I am now.
I am reminded of the many struggles I faced as an undergraduate and as a Christian Student. The many decsions I had to make. To turn up for CG or to study for a test the next day. The struggle to set aside time to prepare for the Bible study and finally to surrender to God's plan for me and take up the mantle as an Exco Member. None of them where easy but each was indeed a test of faith and a demonstration of God's faithfulness to a child who is faithless...
I message kept ringing through my ears in the various Welcome Suppers I attended in the capacity of an Exco member. I keep hearing the words, "You are here not by chance, but for a reason" As I recount the incidents in my life and lessons I learn these 2 years...I cannot rest on my knees and say and "Amen" to that. Amen.
How many shattered dreams or my own selfish ways did He replace with His awesome plans that seek only to prosper me and not to harm me... I have but truely lost count...
If any thought that I must bring into this new academic year, it is that of thankfulness and Hid own faithfulness despite mine own faithlessness.
