Another fun lunch with Connie, Spring and Glenna at Vickery House. Unfortunately Radha got a call to work so couldn't join us. Played another round of Rummy-O or Rummikub or Gin Rummy, whatever u wanna call it.. hehe.. Had a short game of tennis - more like hitting & picking up balls as we were all amateurs!
Had a sneak peek at Baptist Theological College - like I just saw the sign by the side of the road.. haha.. but am excited about starting my semester there soon and Orientation next Wednesday!
Catching Harry Potter tonight - hope to get good seats!
So how have I been going with my journaling? Two entries so far.. not too bad.. and its been helpful to bring clarity to my thoughts/reflections etc.
Been reading "Courageous Leadership" by Bill Hybels lately (after I finished with Gordon McD). A nugget of encouragement: "...in the early days of this church, nothing deepened my trust in the goodness, grace, and miracle-working power of God like the financial pressures that we faced every week... Don't underestimate the value of the spiritual growth that will take place in you and in your church as you address these resource challenges."
I read this when I was at my lowest emotionally lately - struggling with the issue that I have yet raised enough money for my traineeship. It was uplifting to be reminded not to give up hoping, praying and trusting God for His providence. I know something will work out eventually; but its the waiting that stretches me most. Nothing has really changed with the figures since then, but at least I've been given an extra boost of hope.. to carry on hoping.

Yes , waiting upon God is hard. I like to do a lot but waiting kills me. However, u can be sure our Lord is faithful , truly faithful as with many times we are the ones who are not. DOnt give up ! Lishan
