verses read: Jeremiah 38:14-28
prayer: 5 minutes
Reading this passage, I can only think of one thing, “The truth really hurts”.
Registered for my progress package; its flagrant vote buying. But then, when I look at things, the government has given me about $2000 through economic restructuring shares, edusave and now this. While that is less than my would-be starting pay come July, it’s still $2000 than what other governments give their citizens. So I’m not complaining.
Three weeks more to graduation. This time it’s graduation for real. Got to put the “finishing touches” to my thesis by then. Don’t think it will be a problem though. And after that, what happens? Two month break and a new life begins.
Has it already been four years? I can still remember it like yesterday when I stepped into LT25 to begin the FOW and meeting friends who would accompany me through many unforgettable times. I can still remember the day I auditioned for the music ministry, the welcome tea at East Coast Park and the first meeting at YIH. Who would have imagined where that would have led me to?
But it’s strange that as I look back, I leave the VCF with a lot of regrets, and even bordering on burn out. But yet, I leave the Department of Mathematics very energized and all fired up to go on to my next station in life. And now, especially after the last few weeks and last Sunday’s meeting, I see a hope in salvaging the mistakes I made in the last four years.
Yes, the truth hurts. But at the end of the exile there is the comfort in the knowledge that God has a good plan for me. And now I see a very much bigger picture in facing up to the truth.
