Holiday Reflections

I finished volunteering at Simei Care Centre...really thank REv Luo and the centre for giving me the opportunity to grow from the entire experience and to run with them for this precious one month...really gained from serving there and i thank GOd for the lives that i met there. The staffs are wonderful and i like the working environment in this flat organisation- too bad it is a pyschology dominated area...not so much of social work. The clients there have touched my life with love and now after interacting with mental patients i realised that everyone is normal and everyone has times when we act up. We all deserved to be loved and respected, never stigmatised.

I thank GOd for the entire holiday, fruitful and blessed because in this holiday alot was shown to me, revealed by my big God. In the volunteering experience, i learnt about the use of time, experienced new things and interacted with different people. I learnt about my struggles when they resurfaced this holiday, i discovered about my stand for God in the midst of people who dun love GOd, i learn to love and appreciate the uniqueness of human character and personalities. In this holiday, i made my decision to take honours year, and eventually found peace that this decision is guided by my Lord GOd...to noe that this year is another year of preparation before i step and transit into the working world. Not so much about studying though i think the thesis year would really helped me to experience GOd's strength...haha...This year and sem will also allow me to try out MM afterall tis been something that has been nagging at me for the past 8 years...praise and worship for a music idiot like me...if tis really God's nudging..a time to start cell girls' sharing again, a time to build on my fellowship with the christian social workers in school and to bless others in our way.

Future directions has always been on my mind...what GOd is calling me to...yet a sense of peace has led me to realise that i just need to venture out and start working and i will noe, and i won't be wrong because the GOd who directs me has it all beautiful in the plan that He prepares for my life, uniquely carved out, uniquely prepared. There was a time when i struggled so much watching my friends joining campus crusade, navigators as staffs, watching those in BSF being called for missions, going thru career changes...everything about their lives seems so directed in full time ministry...and i felt small, like a grasshopper.... only to realise that i am uniquely made and no life is small in my Father's eyes for we are ALL CHERISHED. At least, i noe that GOd has put me through daily contact with my clients in the past 2 placements and 1 volunteering experience, something that i am more comfortable with, not just a 6 session casework context but doing everything, from arranging activites to teaching to counseling to working with families...a blurred picture now but the Lord will help me for i am shortsighted and i can't forsee the future, i am stupid but GOd uses the simple to shame the wise mah...My amazing GOd and His wisdom is superior to all...ahahaha

Thank you for this holiday that is ending soon... :)
I am blessed...thank you my ALmighty God...gee~ :)
