One life at a time

*Shakes off dust, wipe here, wipe there....*

*Ahhh! Thats better!*

Starting next Jan, i will be a full-time teacher, and subsequently will be posted for NIE training if all goes well. Many people have asked me about my new course in life, and looking back at this year, i must say the changes have been great. Without His presence in my life, i wouldn't be able to overcome. Thank you for the support of my CG members/leaders and Esther =)

A short summary of this year's proceedings

(last year Nov/Dec)

i already knew i was not doing well in engineering, and i was looking to pursue my interest in arts and design. Having put in my best effort, i knew i was not in the course for me, and i sought advice among friends, leaders, lecturers. As i have an interest in product design, i started on developing my portfolio for the course submission. But somehow, i felt i needed more depth.

I met a friend, Miss JJ, at a prayer meeting. She then introduced me to a girl who was in the course i wanted to apply to. Through our friendship, and common interest in arts and design, we became very good friends.

(Jan----Apr)

We slowly discovered we had more similar interests and shared more chemistry in many areas of our lives. When i submitted my portfolio, i felt a calling to enroll in School of Theology. I wanted to build up my life and make an impact in the area of arts and design.

(April----August)

Many areas of my life began to dealt with. Areas where i needed to change. Heart that needs to be moulded. Self-esteem that needs to be raised. Confidence to stand my ground and speak. Everyday is a day that enlarged my personality and strengthened me, for my calling.

*Let your dreams chase you*

My submission to NTU ADM, and NUS did not go through. For a while, i felt lost and upset. Yet, the above quote began to act in my life. It was a time where my dream began to RE-appear to me, that is to really make a impact in the youth...refer to my previous posts=) Through the thick, saturated presence of God everyday, this became vividly clear in my heart.

(August---end Sept)

I submitted my application to 2 courses. One is NIE, the other is Lasalle Design. I did remarkably well for both interviews, and they both offered me a vacancy. Boy, was i challenged.

(Sept----Now)

Looking back at my choice, i knew i made the better one. I find furfillment in making a difference in the young ones, and i believe it is of no coincidence my cg is gaining more substantial youth dynamics. I really hope i can be a good mentor to them and to help them reach their potential in life.

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct[a] your paths.

I thank Him for His presence in my life, for the blessings of my family, CG, and my gf. They make this road a joy =D
