The Final CountdownWonder when you saw the title, the infamous song will be sounding in your head.
That's not my intention. Anyway, this is possibly my last entry for this year. Seriously considering starting a new blog...new blog design..new thoughts etc.
It's strange how the year passed just like that and many hopes, dreams left unfulfilled. Yet I can't say it was an uneventful year.
List of Mini-achievements:
1) Getting a driver's licence
2) Applying for Masters and getting it
I give thanks to Him for blessing me with all these.
Treading onto 2006 with fear and trembling...what with the new classes starting in the evenings and already I've received my very first piece of reading. A quick glance around the room revealed me as the youngest (both in biological age and teaching experience). I honestly say it is indeed intimidating.
Decided to start a new area of ministry and hope that it works out. Getting a brand new class too - EL for a P5 class (my form: strangely a good class, what a rare treat!), EL for P6EM3 (prob have fun with the biggest EM3 lot for the first time in school history)and Sci for a P6 class.
His words resounding in my head:
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Chronicles of Narnia
Only when I understood what the story seems to be saying did I realise what a wonderful amazing piece of writing Lewis wrote. Memory's based on reading of the book in secondary 1. Or was it primay school? Been reading up on the parallels to biblical stories, its apparent symbolism (which some links argue between supposition and allegory)..a rather interesting find when i hit that google button.
I would rather treat it as a simple fantasy story for children and those young at heart..those who value triumph of good versus evil, valour and selflessness above self desires. Who knows, maybe the writer really aims to place that seed of the Word wrapped up in characters like Aslan in the kids and when these kids grow up, that seed may just blossom into understanding and acceptance of the truth.
Anyway, go catch the movie. Definitely a better translation from book to film compared to Harry...maybe it's the lion that I was impressed with. Majestic, realistic and yet possesses a cuddle-ble quality about it, esp when lil Lucy wrapped her tiny arms around Him. I was seriously moved when Aslan got its mane cut off by the Witch's followers.

It is truly amazing how He uses life's situations and people to speak about His wondrous character and love.It all began simply with a pool session with wk after mural painting. For me, I just needed a non-verbal outlet to release the pent-up thoughts and feelings and wk was as usual a 'safe' refuge to turn to. Turns out that the one who needs release became the helper instead.
Never had such an involved talk over issues in life, people, the world for such a long time. J came to join us for supper after he sent A home fr the hospital. It was really heart-wrenching to learn what A had been going through the past one year and how helpless when you can't do anything to help her. What more can you say to a person who willing endures when you know she can simply walk away?
Drove myself home (still alive with the two guys) and continued the talk at the carpark. Unexpectedly, wk msged and called, revealing more things which the insensitive me failed to notice with the people around me. Sometimes I think I am being more dense...like a guy. Nobody's perfect.
Yet through it all, I sensed the Holy Spirit telling me the world may be fallen and people's lives broken but God has come to earth to save us all. We do have a hope and a future in Him. I simply can't explain the sense of peace I am having right now in my heart. It's been so long since He has touched me and the first time He used many episodes in one day to speak to me. I can't solve all the problems of the world, can't give the best advice, can't be the best friend that one can have...but I do have something (or rather someone) who is bigger than all these. I have Him, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. People really do need the Lord. Imagine even believers have screwed-up lives and feel sometimes that it is the end of the world for them. What more someone who does not have Him in his life.
I am beginning to have a refreshed revelation of the importance of Christmas - why He needed to come for us.
A true seeker truly seeks.
A true seeker is willing to believe.
A true seeker is willing to change his/her life.
