We sent our Liberia team off for 9 months of missions today. It was a strange feeling! I heard they have a 27hr journey including transits! 7/8 ppl came to send Jo.Wong off too. I didn't talk much to anyone cuz my throat was hurting quite a bit. =/ I feel extremely bummed I couldn't send Nic n Gladys off cuz of my deadlines! EXTREMELY BUMMED!! =((( This has been by far one of the most stressful times I've had. But still I wanna thk God for several things:
1) Completed most of my deadlines before this throat pain head pain body pain thing happened. I really need His healing touch before this Easter's musical! Swallowing's painful, head's heavy each time I get up from lying down and waking up this morning was an agony! But I've still got my voice! =)
2) Got to work with some nice people in school - Wei Seng, Gao Min, Kelley, Isa, Jessica, Shirleen, Andre. Appreciate such good groupmates a lot!
3) My family has been really kind! They know I've been v stressed lately so in different ways, whether subtle or not, they've lent me their support... Like Mom making sure I eat my meals still, Bros fetching me around, Dad knowing I've been staying up for many nights. :')
3) Lost and found my ezlink on Friday. It really is amazing! I usually top up $20 in my card each time but so happen that before I lost the card, something just made me top up $10 instead. Also, I had used up quite a bit for printing already. There was another project due and we were running late but I could not pay for the printing so my grpmate had to use his card. He went to top it up and realised he had only $15 left in his bank account, just enough for the minimum top up of $10 in his ezlink! After submission, I went to the library to ask if anyone had picked my card up but no one did. So I rushed home for net (Bro came to my sch v early to wait for me and my HP batt was dying so I had just enough to contact him). When I got home, some of my net friends were already thr. I thought we had to use the messy hall cuz I didn't hv time to clean my room, but lo and behold, Mom had cleaned and cooled down my room already! I shared my ezlink card story w net and thanked God that there wasn't much in the card and I didn't feel very upset about it. But God is so good! At 9.40, a phone call came and it was a librarian who called my house number. She said someone kindly returned my card. I thought the library closed at 9pm so imagine how happy and surprised I was to get the call! =D What's amazing isn't how I found back my ezlink but how everything was just nice! And net lesson was on God's love. Incredibly apt! ^^
I love You, Jesus!
Anyway I hope I can get Nic and Gladys's address in Chiang Mai so MAYBE I can find them when I get to Thailand for my fieldstudies! I'm sooo happy for all these who have gone to share the joy of knowing Christ!!
14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? 15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” - Rom 10:14-15 (NLT)
