and it does work out fine...

Thankful for my grades last sem... at least I didn't screw up a 4 AU elective; so it wasn't a bad gamble...

A lots been happening since the last time I posted, from the KK13 trip being canceled, me going there alone in the end, and SWAT camp. Most of them aren't exactly fresh in my mind actually...

I guess the thing that's still quite fresh and raw is probably the SWAT bible camp, it was really almost nostalgic being among all the NUS VCF people, and striking similarities with the ACS(I) Christian culture I was accustomed to 5 years ago. I didn't exactly go for the camp completely willingly – much of it involved a sense of obligation I guess. And I didn't expect to learn anything much knowledge wise; IBS, Hermeneutics  and close bible reading was a skill I acquired many years ago. The encouragement I got from the community of Christians there was rather uplifting though.

And I guess the very short but strange experience I had on the last night. I was busy as usual, packing up all the logistics is preparation for the departure the next day. Then one of the VCFers, I think her name was Esther or something, came up and offered to pray for me. I never said more than a few sentences to her before that, but I thought why not. Interestingly the last time I had people praying for me was a really long time ago. Somehow that culture we had in ACS(I) never got brought over to elsewhere in NTU.

I would then expect a relatively complete stranger to actually ask me if I had any prayer requests, but she just dived straight in. And the most shocking/surprising thing about it that she prayed about stuff that was very much on my mind, including stuff I wouldn't normally dare to share to people about. So instead of the generic prayer I was expecting, I had something very much more personal, even without me saying anything before that.

I guess it's a testament to how God truly knows us better than we do, as well as the work of Holy Spirit in revealing things unseen. Although I guess I've been leaning closer to the conservative end of the theology spectrum..., despite first accepting Him in a AOG Pentecostal church at the start.

But I guess it would be naive of me to think that it means God is going to answer me with a 'yes' anytime soon. But I guess: He has made everything beautiful in His time...
