memories

I haven’t used my Christmas present from my ex-close friend for quite some time. Yes, I’m a self-proclaimed garung guni. Three years. That seems like a very long time ago. I’ll be using this lovely notebook to…spend time with myself, my thoughts and my doodlings.

Today seems like a day of old memories. Went to church and saw a presentation of church development over the years. Of course, many were fond memories. Missed some loved ones from church. Sang the song “Back to Bethel”- it reminds me of a post that I’ve posted some time ago. I wonder if God is leading me somewhere else or perhaps to another stage in my walk.

Flipped through a notebook souvenir given by my alma mater…haha, the school hall still looks the same, so do the breezy study areas… most importantly, I read through some stuff that I’ve written in that book. Nothing personal, just miscellanous stuff that reminded me of my uni. days, my days serving God with the children and my student exchange programme. Among them was a decision-making process that I had recorded down concerning uni. CCA. In the end, I chose the option that I thought would bring glory to God the most. Because of that, I forfeited some things too. The age-old phrase, “I wonder if things would have been different…” came to mind. Maybe, but I still believe that God will value whatever decision that we make for Him.

Ok, rather heavy talk so far. As for exchange programme, I think I’m really glad that He placed me in Uni. of Glasgow…otherwise, I might not have discovered my liking for UK and the beauty of Scotland! More than that, I’m thankful to God as I looked at some of my stuff that I had the opportunity to go Spain and Paris too…All these despite the fact that I could not afford to do so, to begin with.

I know that God has a hand in everything.
Perhaps sometimes it seems like the whole world has forgotten you, but God hasn’t.
