wonderment

Preparing for worship isn’t exactly the easiest thing to do on earth, but when you have a theme in mind, it gets slightly easier.

This week at YA, we’re going to be talking about missions and an old song immediately came to mind - a very traditional Campus Crusade song, the kind that gets you all fired up to sign up for the next mission trip. I’ve not sung this song in some years … ever since my first mission trip to Bangkok and then upon graduating from Ngee Ann.

It’s a beautiful song - drawing much imagery from the Last Supper where Jesus broke bread and poured wine for His disciples.

When a Campus Crusade senior sang it for the first time at that mission trip, it sent chills up and down my back. I guess you could say this is the “milestone” in my life that changed it from being self-serving to God-serving.

I guess one of the things I’m most apprehensive about with going to Australia is that I might drift. I’ve drifted before and it’s not something I’d like to do again - so facing the reality that I’d have to be more disciplined and not rely on other people is a little scary.

For the past 2 years, I’ve been super pampered 1) having daily devotions with my office peeps 2) getting regular spiritual checks by friends 3) attending a good Bible-believing church and young adult ministry 4) and being more involved in the lives of God fearing friends.

Well, I guess after the super pampering comes the time to test what my mettle is made of, eh?

Hehe, God willing, I’ll come back stronger than ever - and this degree will be used to make some kind of impact for His kingdom.
