Phew it's been 4 days since the last post and I've gone through sOoOoO much. Work is simply tiring and draining as it sucks out every vital essence in me and leaving me deprive of life and usurp all my agenda for my little project "enjoyment-to-the-max" before handing over my civilianship to the government.
Well... In my mind right now... I can't help but be dazzled by the memories of the Korea mission cum conference that I have last June/July. Breathtaking-ly awesome!! ALRIGHT! So much fun! I can't believe! 3 days in that mission changed my prospective of hardship, faith, comfort zone, the need to worship, evangelism, love, leadership, team dynamic... much more man! Trust me.. I'm not typing these for the sake of running through the vocabulary (Although it's very limited) and try to fascinate you.
This is indeed one event in my life that I wouldn't forget! Of course.. there are many stages of my life that is sprinkled with beautiful memories here and there... including stuff like.. having to know you guys as my friends! :P
Very much talking about it... I was approach yesterday through SMS by one of a crusade staff asking me to lead a team of freshman from various poly to Cambodia for a humanitarian mission. Kinda lose now and it is set to fly off on 5 Sept to 12 Sept.
Confuse... fear... doubtful...
Am I up to it? oh man~!
Thought that throught the busyness at work, meeting up with regular friends to maintain fellowship and working on being an official vocal for my church... "Mission" is very much into my mind nowadays... I'm sure it's not the fact that my church is so coincidentally on the last purpose of our life; mission. But... Half of me is like wanting to go and half of me is like holding out to test water further.
YA! And someone was like saying "OH! Then the first thing you must do now is to act like a staff..."
But come to think of it.. simple yet encouraging... cause the first thing that I need to focus on is "preparing" myself to accept this mission and not to worry first! >.<"
Happens in quite a comical way... As some of you know my middle name is "Isaiah". It happen that Eliza(staff's name) was praying to God as many have rejected that offer and it's quite urgent, POOF! My name is face appear to her (Sounds quite scary if you'll that staff right?) and quickly finish composing a SMS and send it over. JUST happen that I was thinking and writing on mission, Church and Father's love for some article contribution for my youth ministry... that message came. And I can't believe my eyes that my excuse of enlistment to NS was less then to allow me to get away! It fits in super nicely! Just as I wanted to finish up my curent job and quit.. go overseas... relax for that whole month of Sept.. and here came the SMS!
Amazingly! More than just a collaboration of people working on an April fool's joke. When I'm u-certain of my future.. God provided me this small step.
