Been travelling quite a fair bit recently. And will be doing one major trip in 4 weeks time! 4 weeks! So fast! Can't believe it's so fast. It's so scary. Honestly. Am scared. Don't know what to expect and having fears. Fears of being bullied. Afterall, it's a country whose laws and culture I'm unfamiliar with. And I'll be in a company where I'm the lowest of the lowest. God protect me.

So yeah. Just came back from a trip in Batam, for a church camp, and a trip in The Philippines where I went for a mission trip. Both were great and wonderful! Thank God for the wonderful and peaceful encounters with Him! Meeting Him in both trips is really something that is awesome, beautiful and captivating! Thank God! =)

God is gracious. That's one character trait that I learned from the recent mission trip. He has been gracious to the organisation there, the pastors who have been labouring for years, the ministry and to me personally. Thank God for His grace, mercy, faithfulness and perseverance.

Through hearing (the other) Sharon's life stories (which are MANY), I picked out points and learned from her many things! And finally it struck me what God has been telling me, in increasing frequency, these days. Looking at my diaries (yes, there were more than one), I realised that it has been an on-going process. Among the many things that God teaches me, He has been emphasising that point time and again. And God has been gracious to me, speaking to me gently and not using a harsh rod on me. Thank you God. I will heed and listen to what you have to say.

And because of who you are, God, I will trust you in this upcoming china trip. Lord, you know how I feel. You know how scared I am. You know my fears, insecurities and thoughts. You make me inside out and you know my every thought. So, Father, address them. Bit by bit. Revealing yourself to me too. And in who you are, I will be assured. Amen.
