Destiny.

Its quite amusing how God uses us in so many different ways.
Today, the Lord used me in a very indirectly, but very appropriate way.

I was still quite tired from my journey back to s'pore yesterday and after taking a nap after a very nice teppanyaki lunch with my dad and grandma, i took a nap on the sofa. About 1 and a half hours later, i was awaken rather abruptly by my dad's friend who called to tell me that he would be delivering a box of oranges. Well, i woke up, only to find that i was late, tired and irritated. Haha.

I didnt want to wake up, i wanted to continue sleeping. I was tempted to just forget about VJ's training and claim that im not feeling well. But being a very commited athlete, i just went for training anyway. My dad picked me up and fetched me to VJ, lamenting that he should hav asked me to go there myself. And after that, he decided to stay in VJc and just wait for me there instead of running around, wasting time and gasoline. A rather wierd decision and i was tempted to just ask him to go home and forget about it. But everytime i wanted to ask that, something stopped me. Instead, i invited him to watch me throw. lol. Not something I'd usually do.

Well, I went for training. And i felt today's training was quite fruitfull. I came out more of my shell and did alot of stupid stuff and asking alot of rather redundant questions during training. Just being myself. (: Got to know the Vj peeps a little more and getting to know the school a little more. As i did, i really found myself getting drawn to the school more. Like there's a force pulling me closer to the school.

Training was quite good today. Maybe im just getting used to the longer hours and the type of training they do. But maybe i dont appreciate it as much since they train me on the parts of my body that arent as strong because haoyi doesnt concentrate on them. Things like my legs, and back. And because they have never had such specific training, i find that im on bar with everyone else on those areas. But the only thing thats owning them is my upper body. Obviously. Haha. Thats why there's a reason why Jing and Haoyi calls my upper body a monster. :P

Well, Its quite good to train at Vj, actually. I have someone who's about the same body strength as me and its good to train with her cos we help each other out and we're both quite experienced in the same ways. Like I trust her to support me and she does trust me to support her. She can do about the same weight that i do. So it acts as a moral support. Though i dont exacly like the feeling of equalness cos i prefer to be above the rest, but i appreciate very much that she can help me out and push me as we train tgt because we're in the same category of strength. Well, not forgetting that it comforts me she's already in Uni. hehe.

Anyway. After training, my dad fetched me home. During my training, i noticed that he was talking to alot of ppl. And obviously curious, i asked him who he was talking to. He shared that Mr Melvin Tan had introduced him to a PE dept teacher who then started talking to him. God opened a door when she asked my dad what he was reading (cos he was using the time to study a book on prophetism). And so, he told her that he was reading a book on prophetism for a course he was taking. And then he added that he was a pastor. The moment he said that, she opened up about herself. She asked him about God and he shared with her many things, many testimonies. and he found that she was very very open to the gospel. In fact, she was at the point that she would nearly receive the Lord.

My dad talked to her for a very long time, sharing about Jesus and who God is to him and though i cant quite remember the contents of his conversation with her, i know this one thing that she siad to him at the end "Maybe there's a reason why you're sitting here talking to me today." When he said that, i was stunned. Its just so amazing.

Then that same lady brought another PE dept teacher to meet my dad. That new teacher is actually from TCC@PL! And so my dad talked to her and told her that he was the Dew pastor. And so She was interested to know more about Dew. And So he shared with her what DEW is about and the differnt testimonies about the many ppl that have been healed through DEW and through the power of God-all while the non-christian lady was at the side listening. And this trinitarian was open to Dew and wanted to sign up immediately! But my dad told her registration was closed and she would have to wait for the next one. Awwwww.... But she volunteered to tell her Cell leader about it. And i think, that that is amazing.

As my dad told me all about the things that had happened to him while he was in VJ, i felt really touched. God had used my willingness to go to training to bring my dad to VJ, to touch 2 lives. One leading to receive christ, the other leading to healing in her life. God used my dad to sow the seed and touch lives of 2 ppl, in the span of 3 hrs in VJc, waiting for me. Indeed, it was time spent wisely.

As i thought about what my dad had told me, i felt the word Destiny burn in my heart. I felt that it was the Lord tugging at my heart. And i felt and knew and know, that indeed, VJc is the Jc that God has intended for me to go.

Well, of course i like thought in my mind that ACJC was the dream school, the place that i wanted to go so badly and be with a comfortable culture, comfortable ppl i know from both church and school. I knew that if i went to ACJC, i would be very comfortable cos i had both my sec school mates, plus church mates there. And i liked the idea of it.

But the moment i thought of that, the Lord spoke to me and said "if i have everyone at ACJC, who will make the impact in VJC?". And i felt very convicted. Its really amazing. Im one of the only ppl in church going to VJc, im surrounded by non-christians, open to the word of God, my teacher is looking at me to join or maybe even head the CF in Track, that PE dept trinitarian is aiming at me to pray with her for Vj, what else can i say? The Doors are opening. God is ready to move. And i must jump into the season. Cos i know that God has placed me there for a reason.

It was not by coincidence that i was invited to VJ.
It was not an accident that someone was kicked out to give me a place in DSA.
It was not a mistake when i heard from God that VJ is the school for me.
Nothing, happened by chance.
But only by the will of God.

As i pondered on all these, the Lord placed in my heart this verse:
The harvest is plenty but the workers are few.

And i felt in my heart, this will be the verse for the new season in VJ. God has intended for me to reach out in my arena, to bless my friends in the school, to bring the christian atmosphere to a higher level, and to reach out to the ppl that need purpose in their lives.

Destiny Calls my name.
VJ, here i come. (:
