Logos Hope!
As I googled through the web looking at Logos Hope pictures, it brought me back to 2007's summer. Out of the blue I applied to go for Doulos' Step but in the end, I ended up on Logos II instead. That year was unforgettable, that 2 months was the best so far. And so, I thought I will be back on the ship pretty soon. I was into my final semester in polytechnic, I talked through my parents to let me go for 2 years... Then things change, plans change.I was suppose to back on the ship in 2008, here I am, 2009 and sitting in Katong Convent. April came, the time to process my application is finally here.. I waited patiently till today when I was told I couldn't go on the ship in 2008. Now the time is here, and still I am waiting.
For a moment I thought of giving up the thought of going back on the ship. The economy sucks, I have a job, I have income; what would people or rather, my parents, think when I say I still want to go back on the ship? People have been telling me to wait, wait till I finish my contract, get more working experience, earn and save more money.. But I know this waiting would never end. Once this is done, anything will pop up.
The decision is somewhat final, I hope to make it for 2010's January Logos Hope intake. That means quitting my job at the end of this year, a few months to prepare my family for the news, a few months to "try save money", seek God's will and whatever that needs to be done.
Tons of things need to be done, settled, talked out and bla bla bla. Instead of burdening myself with these thoughts that wouldn't go away, I'm leaving it at the foot of the cross. If I couldn't trust God and have so much faith during Logos II's application, why not trust Him even more for Logos Hope?
It's a challenge, pray for me people. I know you will miss me, but Grace got to go live her dreams.. :D
