The glass around your heart
I am making this decision to go to NUS Business not by my own efforts but by the grace of God, and 1 Corinthians 15:10 is perfectly apt when it says "yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me."
When I think about what I want to do in Uni - all those grand plans - SEP (Student Exchange Programme), LPP (Language Preparation Programme), double majors (Marketing and ??), breadth modules (Lit!!), CCA (could I finally join a sports CCA?), Orientation (it is so weird that it's not compulsory anymore), going everywhere without a fixed group of people, new CG, new friends, new journeys, I am impossibly excited because I know all the great things God has in store for me will come to pass!! And this being the year of the Key of David, when God opens a door, no one can shut - and I am so glad :) I loved when Sherry said "If there are a few open doors, don't worry about which one is 'right' for you - because God opened it, it can only be good! So don't spend too much time debating on what is right or wrong, just run through it, and rest assured that God will bring you through everything because He is the one who brought you there." :)
And I'm glad I didn't agonise over which school to go to (SMU or NUS) because I really would love both, but God has opened the door - so I'll run through it with excitement and joy. Two prayer requests of the year have been answered, and I can't wait for the last one :)
A dude from New Creation works here and we started talking, and he suddenly said "give me five minutes" and he went up to his office and came back down with sermon CDs!!!! I am so happy hahaha it's really a taste of home in the workplace :) Never more at home than in church. Jesus really knows how to make me happy. Two nights ago I went to sleep feeling like a trodden-on piece of shit cos of LPP reasons and I woke up not much better except with the thought "The Lord will perfect that which concerns me" (Psalm 138:8) and when I checked my Instagram before I left for work I saw that Pastor Joe posted my design on his insta :) And I really felt so loved and honoured because !!! Pastor Joe sharing my picture!!! Little me!!! And Yan from Spark Design screenshot it and shared it w the group haha :) :)
I am so pleased and happy. I'm glad I settled in after those two years struggling against this church and insisting on LE - I suppose God really worked the change of heart. And I'm glad He did.
