Its been a while since I’ve made any proper posts that involve more than pictures. Well, this one won’t be very much of an improvement.

Its amazing that it is already May, that half a year has gone by. It literally just flew by, leaving an ignorant and disoriented me left behind. So much has happened in the course of these six months that have just vanished into nowhere.

Amidst all of this change and transience, one thing remained constant and anchored. God. I know that over the past half a year, there were ups, and there were downs. There were moments where I felt tired of religiosity, spiritually empty, dry, thirsty, overwhelmed. But the fact that I am still here today, alive and kicking, still praising Him is testament to His goodness and glory. Without Him, I would have collapsed under the pressures of the first two camps. Without Him, the Common Tests would have been a disaster for me. Lacking His grace and presence, I might have just given up on school. But I haven’t. Something I learnt at the beginning of the year really holds true (it is a little cheesy though):

When faced with a crisis, remember and know who Christ is.

He is truly good. In the tough times, He carried me through, sharing the yoke with me. In the good, He brought me through to see even more than what my human eyes could appreciate. I thank Him for the wonderful people that I am surrounded with. I thank Him for the loving family that I have. Most of all, I thank Him that by His grace, the price of sin is lifted from my shoulders. Christ bore my sins. He atoned them for me, and with that grace, I am made worthy by Him.

Glory be to God.
