Remember your Creator in the days of your youth

Today was a busy and tired day..Physically..mentally. When I couldnt take it anymore.. I decided to have the cup of coffee of the day during lunch.Quite awful though,but kept me awake til 12mn nevertheless. Here I am blogging har.at 0000 :)

On the bus trip back home with Ching Huey(she went back to EH..) was sharing how God has unveiled his plan in my life.. Quite exciting.All planned. n im glad, He preserved me..

Dun mind telling you about it too, cos God is so wonderful to me.. So here goes...
Was telling my dear sister how i decided to go for NUS course in the end after spending long hours trying to make up my mind if i should appeal for TCM in NTU.I remember when I was in pri sch, I've longed to enter Anglican High since p4.N i prayed to every other gods when I was taking PSLE to allow me an aggregate of 244,just nice to get into AHS. I prayed esp hard to this Christian God whom I dont know at that time..(wel, I went to a church camp apparently, and believed that He exists.) At that time, I was not only obssessed with getting into Anglican High, I was thinking of TJ too! and under the influence of some stuff(cannot rem wad) , I was dreaming of gettin into NUS too! So i've paved and prayed about the route that I wan to take in the future. (lolx, can you imagine, a 12-yr old like me...I must have been crazy!)
Thinking back, I can never thank God enough to have gave me what I wanted and made it beautiful, much much better than I ever wanted.

I got into AHS, though I believe at that time, it was based on sheer luck. Was really happy when I got in, it was my DREAM SCHOOL! Then, I worked really hard for O levels to get into my DREAM COLLEGE. At that time, I really based alot on my own effort. Thinking that as long as I work hard, I'll definitely get what I want.(Many times in life, that's not true and I know it).. But again, I've got what I wanted. This time round, I decided to go NUS bascially cos I didnt get my choice in NTU so I decided not to appeal and go NUS.

Then, I see a pattern.. God's work..Every stage of my life is a new learning point. And every step I take draws me closer to God. Every place I ended up in will always lead me to understand more about this life God has given. O Praise Him!

God made my desire to enter AHS (mission school) good. I knew Christ that very year when I stepped into AH. Went through the vulgarities period, went thru the sweet sec3 yr, enjoyed my graduating year. N of cos to have known YQ there, gotten my Project Serve activities application form and got to know YFC in sec 4. Knew AL.Slowly, His plan unveils..
God made my passion for TJC burn also for a beautiful course. AL took me for BS.. Only got to know what it means to be a Christian in yr 1 and decided to live my life for God seriously. Stretch myself real thin in Yr1 (anw, I was really trying to test my limits..I did.But I also gave up trying knowing I have something better to go for..) Led an eventful yr1, decision making yr. 2nd year was academically demanding, physically straining(cos got competition), yet my life could not have been anymore fruitful than 2005 in TJ. I started sharing the gospel, knew KY,my twin, NG more,...etc. People complain about their life in JC. I missed it in fact. Though there were my disappointments and pains, there were much laughter and fond memories to be kept as well. My life has been gradually, fearfully changed...

My meaning in life has been found in the one who originates it. The one who gave life in the first place. God.
As He guides me into a new phase in life, I wonder what He has in store for me. It has got to be good and exciting, challenging! Afterall, He's my God who has led me so far to know him, proclaim His excellencies, through so many ways ;) Life has never been the same old sian life again. His amazing plan is going to be revealed... I believe. Soon it will be!
