Time, it makes what has happened on hindsight so amazing.
Who would have thought that one of the kids I mentored 5 years ago would be the Chairperson of DHSCO today. Wow. Wow... And I'm still waiting, for the day when the successor to MY throne comes from my section. It's been 5 years now.
Pardon me, but I've been thinking a lot on the past lately. All thanks to the show No Limits, which has to fuse swimming and music together to evoke those memories. Or may I say regrets. All the while, I wanted the medals but I didn't want to train. I ended up with just one. I wanted the distinctions but I didn't want to practise. I ended up not completing my Grade 8 at all, for both. I wanted the results but I didn't want to study. I ended up where I am today. Well maybe I could feel proud of what I've accomplished with the Dizi. But not like I'm getting opportunities in the present anyway. What's there to speak of now? Well, thank God. It's a reminder that the glorious days of me have been replaced by the glorious days of Christ. It's really not about me anymore, never should have been. Rather, it's about what God can do through this weak, helpless being with nothing to my name. It's a long, long road ahead and at the end of it, all those things that I've mentioned, they don't matter.
Alright, it's time to get back to the present.
God has been good. What was an almost traumatic experience resulted in great insights gained on several aspects I've never really been clear of. Thank God for you guys patiently answering my questions. I'm humbled by the fact that there're so many things I don't know. I've got to really delve deep... Thank God for Street-E. I've been trying to progress bit by bit, and I got to share the whole Gospel for the first time on Wednesday. Amidst stuttering and stammering and lots of dead air. Trust me, I was so nervous I forgot John 3: 16. But thank God for His empowerment and grace, and thank God for all the people He has sent to encourage me. Oh, not forgetting the trio we shared to last Sunday. This Sunday, 2 of them were back there. And they accepted Christ! Praise the Lord! :)
It's about 2 weeks before I leave for the Philippines. I can't say I'm prepared. But it's gonna be so exciting.
And time, it seems to be pulling me too quickly now.
