~May Your Light Shine :D~

I think I have a knack for going on a blogging spree and then disappear for a while, before I blog-spree again. I guess when I get inspired, my brain cells continue to juice out ideas for slightly more than 24 hours, before going into hibernation.

Went to XiuTing's house to bai nian today, wanted to visit my teachers in VJ too, however VJ had a half day today so all the teachers had gone home before I could meet any of them. It was their cross country. I guess the teachers finally got smarter and decided to let the Victorians work out all their new year goodies and what better day to give a half day than when everybody is still in the holiday mood? I remember when I was in year 2, cross country was on a saturday (groan... going to school just to run) and that day was Valentine's. -_-

Anyway, I just wanted to share something I learnt during bible study with mum and jean today. We are currently studying the book of Nehemiah and I learnt that the more you obey God, the more you will learn from Him. If you know God's word, you will know His will for you and when you do His will, you will feel joy and not burdensome. The past year, I have been feeling stressed out although I had no exams, wait, I had my grade 5 organ exam, but that's not the point. The point is I was feeling stressed when there was no reason to be, at least that was what I thought. But the reason was because I did not know what course, other than medicine, to take and what was God's will for me. I am still feeling quite stressed because to be honest, I am not 100% sure that speech pathology is God's will. I actually have no idea what is God's will for me to be exact. However, if I were to calm down and think logically, as long as ultimately I get to help children in need, I should be happy right?

I think I have to pray about it a bit more but in the meantime, something interesting happened. Was chatting online with my ex-student and ex-classmate. The former asked about the underlying meaning of the show of Chronicles of Narnia. However, as I was about to reach the crux of the message, the moment I mentioned Jesus Christ, she said she had tutorials to do. My ex-classmate was telling me how he found it difficult to live a life totally devoted to God. Despite my eagerness to shed some light, he was determined to find out the answer to his questions by himself. Although I did not get to share much, and I hope my eagerness did not scare them away or talk gibberish, but I thank God I was given an opportunity to share what little bit I know. I pray that such a chance will appear for me to reach out to Val.
