I have a preliminary thought. This thought is based on the assumption that you believe that relationship between God and man should guide the relationship between man and woman. If you are experiencing BGR, and you are not sure if this is love, just evaluate and ask yourself if this love is helping you to become more Christ-like? If you are even more insecure, more self-centered than before, then perhaps you need to re-look at the relationship. Any love inspired by God will transform us to His image.
Dreamt of Oliver again.. Twice in my dream of him, I wept quite bitterly.. Is it about him, or its about me? Do I have so much sorrow within me that I wept otherwise, but only in my sleep?
I prayed for him, and I wrote him to let him know that he is loved. There is nothing else that I know how to do.
Today is a day of rest in my definition. Day of rest means I dun hv to rush meeting people, and can catch up with my reading and BS prep at a leisure pace.. So is that rest ah? Actually I dunno leh.. I do feel a little tired at this moment, and I have not been sleeping too well. There are still many people I want to meet, but there are only 7 days in 1 week and I cant really meet them all. With Santi & Ruth's O lvl coming to an end, I hope to have more time to meet them as well.. Am I tired? Well I am slightly. Do I wanna meet them? U bet! haha..
Did I lose out on anything when I decided to serve God as a full-timer?
Definitely.. Prospects, money.
During the interview, the interviewer asked me whether I know how much my contemporary are getting? I know that in this aspect, I lose out big time, big big time..
RX say he admire my courage to join full time.. But I admired those who went to work and decide to quit their work then join full time much much more. Those are the people who have enjoyed their good and stable pay, good prospect and career development. Yet having count the cost, they decided to pay the price.
On another aspect, I also gained big big time! The spiritual input my band of leaders has poured into my life, the time invested in the lives of others and the experience of God's blessings. There can be no other thing to replace the 1 and half year experience as a full timer. I am glad that I have done it, bcos I am not so sure if I have the courage to do it again.
God will not lead me where His grace cannot keep me. Sensing His leading, I know His grace is sufficient for me...
Through the PEP these past 3 days, there is 1 important thing that God impressed upon my heart.
"A Vision for the World, A Heart for the Individual"
There may be many important things in life for us to pursue, but I think I have decided to pursue the above in my life. Do you call it a life motto? Well, whatever it is called, this is it! This may change in the future or it may remain with me for as long as I live.
