I'm thankful for many things...

Since Sam has shared her thanksgiving, I will continue to share too.

Firstly, as most of you should know. I just came back from Thailand.
And I would like to thank God for his protection over me and my mum especially while we were in Bangkok. No problems despite being one meter away from the red shirts =)
And also thank God for guiding my decisions in booking hotel. I was deciding between 2 locations and He led me to the better decision (farther from the protests = less traffic jam problems)

Secondly, I attended an interview for the University Scholars Award recently. Thank God for the opportunity to interview. Not too sure whether I will get it or not but I tried my best. I finished the Powerpoint slides in less than 2 hours just 2 days before the interview. So, thank God for the speedy work and for keeping me cool and clam throughout the interview.

Thirdly, must mention FYP. I left NTU for Malaysia and then Thailand before the submission deadline. So many people mentioned that I had LOTS of faith.....that's true but I'm human so I did go through some times in that one week plus (recess onwards till I left Singapore) when I was worried too. But thank God for team mates who are understanding and who pray for you through Facebook (referring to Mr Ho Teng Seng). Although it was FB, but I really felt a calming presence when I saw the typed prayer. And thank God for the miracle, a few hours before I left for Malaysia, the prof emailed us saying "Yes, the results look fine. You may start writing now!" And then , I wrote and wrote and wrote. And I did my part, and handed over to my reliable teamates subsequently!

Fourthly, must thank God for guiding me as I took on the position of Spiritual Multiplier (SM) in Campus Crusade which is like a cell group leader, but for a smaller group, and more focused on evangelism. I had received the calling from God at the end of my second year, but I was scared that I was not "able" and decided to tell God, "Later, please..."

I was challenged again in my 3rd year, and this time I could not ignore God. Because each time I turned to the Bible, I would see the word "Faith" .....it was killing me......So, in the end, I surrendered and said Yes! After saying Yes, God did provide for me. Due to my internship, I only attended 1 out of 3 trainings. And there was a camp for SMs in late July, but I did not attend as I was back in Malaysia. But God is great! When I started DG (discipleship group) in August, somehow I had no fear???!!! It's definitely not from me , but from God because I was not properly trained, and had ZERO experience in such things.

And this post is getting longer and longer, so I better stop now. All I can say is that my 4 years in NTU have been filled with blessings (too many to name one by one). And coming to NTU is a blessing (as Adrian shared)!

So good night and God bless!
