verses read: Jeremiah 44
prayer: 5 minutes
This passage marks the end of the longest narrative segment of the book. It’s the same theme as the rest of the book though, mostly doom and gloom and punishment for disobedience. Well, like I’ve told many before, as we strive to be bold, let’s not disobey God in the process. Consequences are worse than we can imagine.
This month will also mark a lot of “lasts” for me. Last CG, last council meeting, last official lesson in NUS, and today, last VCF FT. And of course, the second last time I will be singing the VCF anthem. It’s been quite a ride, and I’ve kept a perfect track record. I’ve not missed a single FT in my four years in VCF. Very soon, I will be taking what could be my last exam in NUS, and soon I will be sitting on the other side of the examination scripts, the marker!
Felt the Lord telling me that since it was my last FT, I should spend sometime with the rest eating supper, glad I did. It was certainly an interesting time of sharing and hearing the thoughts of those who have gone before me. It has certainly energized me a lot for the next part of life.
On the way home, Jianming shared about his interview with MOE, when he was asked the standard question, “Why do you want to teach?” Apparently every candidate is asked that question, my answer, “Because I enjoy learning myself, and what better way to pass on this love for learning than to become a teacher.” Might sound like propaganda, but it was my honest answer. Jianming’s answer, “Because I want to preach the Gospel of Christ!”
Anyway, good chat I had, am really looking forward to a new life come June.
