Singapore

Just got back from Spore and had such a valuable time with Esther and Jean. i really enjoyed the time hanging out and getting to know these two beautiful sisters in a closer way :) (along with the fellow travellers from UQ8,6,1 and ShuNing from Ispwich who shared her whole wow-testimony to me during this trip) i also got to meet many ones whom i've not seen for so long and are now residing in spore. tho i wish there was more time to even talk properly, its ok, i thank God for each of their lives and opportunity to even crossed-paths and know that there's such an amazing sister/brother that exist somewhere in the world. and i pray for their best :)

Been back this time round has also changed a few of my thoughts lately. listening to different ones who are more seasoned and grey with wisdom, have made me took a step a back to think about my future. i once toy-ed with the idea of going to bible school after my dental course, but my pastor who is also a oral-maxilo-facial surgeon, spoke to me not too. he said God has placed me in dentistry for a reason and i should work first. nay, the same advice given by the missionaries. i guess i was too naive in my dreams, and havent thought about the reality of life to its core and the importance of working+gaining life experiences. and im setting out now to just focus on my studies first, then work and still love+seek+serve God with all my heart in all stages. as for missions, i have not got a calling but will just be open :) haha i remembered when i was reading the bibliography of Tami Fisk, i cried for 2reasons. 1) was because it was so inspiring and heart-piercing the way she clung on to God when she had melanoma and was dying in pain. 2) and secondly, haha i cried because i was so scared. lol i told God about my fears about missions, i dont want to be unmarried and die so young. (i dont think im that brave or courageous like Tami) and as i felt asleep while stroking my mum's forehead, (haha was trying to put her to sleep, but fell asleep in the process too!) i dreamt and felt God saying this "Sabrina you are Sabrina, you are not Tami" it was so touching. haha i even told sarah about it in the dream. and when i woke up i felt such peace and the comforting love of God assuring me that i am special and He has a specific plan for me. My life will be different, it doesnt have to be the same (like the many missionary stories i've read), it has its own story and God the author is still writing it. Thank God He never use cookie-cutters to fashion our lives in a homo-style. We are each individually crafted.

Thank You God for such a nice holiday in Spore, the company and a time to just see different things :) Continue to change my heart and show me how to live this life for You.
