though i'm physically not in thailand right now, my heart really goes out. especially after hearing steph share about what's happening in chiangmai and how it's indirectly affecting her. i find myself asking "does my heart share the same burden?"
i really love the lyrics of this song by 讚美之泉. it's a song that's written in such a personal way that i feel its soul everytime i listen to it. the battle is best fought on our knees.
to cry for a land that's foreign. to plough soil in hard ground. it takes one real committed and faithful servant.
so i look to You.

urges and restraints.
whenever i read about the exciting things that are happening to friends who are out in the mission field overseas, there is always the urge to join them in the work. even a simple PSS letter brings much joy and excitement as i read about the way God is working in the different ministries and places. however i must know the difference between an urge and a divine call. to act on impulse should never be the way to go. though i am not with them in person, i am with them in spirit as we battle on our knees. and i thank God for this privilege. to be able to participate in the work and labour for the gospel. mission work is exciting and that's why i'm still in the ministry after more than a year. there have been aches and pains, planted seeds that have yet to bear fruit. but the hope is real. everything in His time. greater things have yet to come, greater things are still to be done. may the passion never run dry and the flame never burn out. this, my prayer.
search me o God and know my heart test me and know my anxious thoughts see if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting
so i look to You.

unfinished race.
yesterday was a day well-spent. i committed to the ebs sessions at acs intl for 4 tuesdays and i'm certainly not regretting it. it was a real eye-opener to see and experience the different cultures of the intl students and to befriend them. such hospitality and generosity. i sure hope i remember the students' names. had so much fun listening to them ramble on and on and on and on. with such excitement. galven and i ended up staying for the afternoon sessions. 'celebrated' his birthday with a mustard/ketchup/onions/cheese hotdog. haha he got caught by surprise. had some not too wonderful bak chor mee haha. man we have the same taste! guess we'll be trying out different food every week. scour the whole of holland v.
so i look to You.
