Get a hold of me, get a hold of you
Walking down the street
And I hardly know you
It's just like we were meant to be
Holding hands with you when we're out at night
Got a girlfriend you say it ain't right
And I got someone waiting too
....
Isn't this the best part about breaking up
Finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who will care for you too
...
SLC was life-changing. Time and again I was challenged to draw closer to God and to be bold in spreading the gospel. The most important lesson that I've learnt was the significance and the importance of the Word of God. To understand God one must understand His Word. But too often I've neglected His Word, mainly due to the liberty of worship that I always take for granted. I am determined to read His Word, not just for the sake of reading it, but also to understand its context and meaning. I was also challenged to be bold for the Word of God on campus. Being a naturally shy person, (although this trait is not really evident now but its true), I find it hard to strike up conversations with people that I don't know. The field trip in SLC was thus a huge challenge for me. The task was to strike up conversations with strangers and to just listen to their story. (I don't think this is applicable in Malaysia.) If the issue of God creeps into the conversation, praise be. If it doesn't, it's still ok. This is such a useful skill on campus, especially in building relationships and spreading the Word of Jesus not only through words, but through lifestyles as well.
I've also met lots of awesome people all over New Zealand, and had a great time exchanging life stories and ideas. The weather however was absolutely horrible, having only one day of sunshine but rain all week. I was sick all week. I'm still sick now.
I'll be heading of to the airport in about 14 minutes. Leesha is suppose to drop me off but she's not awake yet. Hmm.. I'm going home. The thought hasn't really sunk in yet. I hope the flight won't make my sickness worse.
I don't know how I'm suppose to react. Mixed feelings. I miss my family and friends back home. But New Zealand has been like a little home to me too. Just a few weeks back, my plans for the holidays were totally different. Ah life. Changes creep in and WHAM! You don't know what hit you.
I'm going home.
Lord, I know all I need is you. Still my past haunts me
