The Grace in Grace

Last night before concussing into dreamland, I have a sudden urge to just sit up and be quiet. It has been some time since I last had my quiet time, even if I did, it was all so short and "un-quiet". A quick prayer before I sleep, a quick prayer before meals, the only time I reflect was during communion. So, I just sat on my bed in the dark, plug in my MP3 and had the song above playing. And I could just feel God near to me, so near that I believe He was holding me close.

When was the last time someone hugged you? When was the last time you felt so beloved? When was the last time you felt that you weren't alone? When was the last time you felt overwhelmed?

Sitting in the dark, I thought about quite a lot. I have came a long way (though not as long as some others). Looking back from where I came from, God has placed a lot of testimonies that I can share. Testimonies that might touch lives, stories that may inspire, experiences that may motivate others. I have so much to tell, now it's just up to me if I want to keep in all in me or share them. (I want to share them, all)

I took the same bus home with Lynn, a new found friend in school. Some would call "them" people-you-work-with; I prefer to call all of them "friends".

Anyway, during our journey we shared about quite a lot. Mostly me sharing my experience on the Logos II and those times plaing rugby. There are much more to tell; next time :) I enjoy such conversations, meaningful yet not too taxing.

The school that I work now is a good learning ground. Learning from the students and people around me. For as long as I'm in the school, I want to fulfill the purpose of being there. Give more than just a IT trainer, give more than just a teacher, give more that just someone with IT knowledge. I want to give, even if it will hurt sometimes.

Will I receive in the end? I believe I will, somehow.

My ship's mum said, "Remember, your ministry starts right now in your school."

Am I going to the match tonight?

Off to KL tomorrow. Packing; not done :P
