As I was walking down the pavement along a street after tuition and felt the wind blow against by face, I cant help but to feel a strong sense of peace and freedom - the sense of liberation. I came to a standstill and observed the setting sun in the distant horizon - the simple joy of life...
2 months into the long summer holidays but it seemed to just pass by in the blink of an eye. I have been so caught up in the many activities and events that at times, I feel that I do not even have time to myself, to just sit back relax and listen to my inner voice and reflect on the simple joy that existed in my life and yet I havnt been able to realise it. Ironically, it is only now when I am on my MOE school attachment, in my little cubicle with a desktop on my desk in some corner of the school, that I actually managed to find time looking back at the past semester and the holidays.
The past semester hasnt been all that smooth sailing with many ups and downs but one thing that I have gained from it is that all of these experiences both good and bad, only served to mould me and allowed me to grow as a person. At those times that I felt lost without a sense of direction, He has affirmed me - that in all things, He is always around guiding me even in my low times. I am thankful for the many friends that He has sent me to journey together with me - these friends or rather brothers in Christ were companions on this journey. On the topic of faith formation, being a CGL over the past 2 semesters has been a memorable and fulfilling experience. I have gained much from my CG members, through each of their sharings, through the weekly planning of CGs with Sam Tang, Max and Alex (Gal) and from my fellow CGLs. Even after 1 year, I would say that being a CGL is not an easy job at all, it requires lotsa time and effort but what makes it all worth it is when I realised how CG has made an impact on at least some of my CG members and it is such moments that I know that all these are all worth it.
(Gotta go for class... to be continued...)
