i do not know why, but i'm back at blogspot again. hmm. i hope i get my laptop soon so that i do not have to share the computer with my brother. then i can use it as and when i like it without him breathing down my neck. he's sleeping now. hee. :D
at the crossroads of life.
went to world vision on tuesday for the under no roof famine camp meeting. yeah! we're gonna be team leaders instead of station masters! thank you, ivy! :) this is the first time i'm inside world vision and it is a stark constrast compared to habitat. God's unconditional love and the strong message and mission behind world vision was so overwhelming, something i never sensed at habitat in the past 2 years. i even forgot that habitat is a christian organisation. John 10:10 I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. yes, God loves each and every of His children! He loves them so much that this organisation was set up to light up their lives. He does not want them to be deprived physically or spiritually. spiritual satisfaction.this is the first time i ever heard an organisation strive to do so for impoverished people. woow. i really felt His presence and awe-struck by His great works and love.
there are 2.2 billion children in the world, of which, 1.9 billion children are living in poverty.
24 children die of hunger or hunger-related diseases every minute.
we're so blessed!! we aren't bereft of our basic necessities. we're in one of the best education systems in the world. why are we complaining that we do not have the latest pair of nike shoes? why are we complaining about going to school when children in other countries do not even have the chance to step into one? Father, thank you for blessing me and allowing me to live a sheltered life. thank you for providing everything in my life!
the message was so poignant. so poignant that i was utterly ashamed that i actually forgotten the feeling and the drive that was in me. the drive to strive to do something. to do something for anyone of those trapped in the vicious cycle of poverty. i felt so rejuvenated after the meeting there was a burning desire to do something. in the midst of planning now. :) Lord, guide me!
oops. i'm ranting.
editing my jie's resume now. -argh- i just sent my accommodation application to UCL. feel a little hesistant about firmly accepting the place in uni. four years leh. it's gonna be exciting. yet scary. never mind, my Lord will be with me! :D
me.
