August is here

A few things have happened since the start of August. First up, I've quit my job! Nah, just kidding, my internship at SPH ended peacefully, with a wistful sigh, last Thursday. My time at MediaBoxOffice has been a fruitful one and I've much to thank God for during this period. Before I began internship, I prayed to God, "Please grant me favour in the sight of my boss and colleagues." And I believe I've made a couple of good friends at the company.

Secondly, on a mellower note, my dear grandfather from my Mum's side has gone home to be with the Lord. He was a man of few words. Having battled cancer since two years ago, overcoming and then fighting it again, my grandfather never complained, only in the recent months when it got a lot more painful. He always took comfort in God's grace and believed that everything was always in God control. And truly, everything still is. What gave us great comfort during this time of grief was the knowledge that we are only separated for a while, for we shall see him again when it is time to meet our Maker.

The coming week is the last of my summer hols 2010 before SMU's Year 3 starts for me. Year 3! It seems like yesterday that I attended orientation camp. Whoa, scary. No matter how fast time flies, it will always be my heart's desire to make sure my life counts for God. We can do many crazy things and yet still feel like an empty shell when the day ends.

After all the years of being a Christian and cell leader, I believe God is calling me to come back to the basics. And when I think about it, the basics of Christianity is having a really close relationship with God, so close that everything in your life just revolves around it. And now that I've come out to blog this, this is probably the direction of my life now. "having a really close relationship with God, so close that everything in your life just revolves around it"
