SOT grad dinner
Hi! i just came back from SOT grad dinner.
SOT is really a turning point in my life. it really SOrT-ed out a lot of my life. there are a lot of things that i had to let go, a lot of things that i have picked up, and even more things that i have found freedom in. One of which is freedom from the opinions of others.
anyway, really, things can only get better, and i believe though trials and tribulations may come, distractions may pull, but always my heart will always be drawn to the One.
knowledge is power, but the most important things that i've taken back is not just knowledge, but ginosko (experiential knowledge). knowing by experience, presence of God, knowing by experience, moving in the Spirit etc. I never wanna lose this spark (NOT you, but i've notice the tendency to slack off after SOT), and I just wanna do more for God.
When times i'm stagnent, I'll ask God to break me even more, to bring me to new adventures, or to even open new opportunities for me. Else spiritual life could be such a bore without adventures with the Holy Spirit. =)
Of cuz, the most important is the relationships forged in SOT. i'll really miss team 21, and the people in it, after we grad.. =( but really glad to know pastors from overseas (e.g. pst peter from korea..) and many fun and outgoing people (moxi, jess, vanessa liew, vanessa ng, jeremy liang ... ... ... ... and a lot more!) when we sang the closing song, "that's what friends are for", i just kept thinking of all the friends that i've made during the past 4 /12 mths, and i believe that we'll go from glory to glory together, yea? =) note to self. keep in touch with all these friends =) they are the treasures in my life.
those who haven't go SOT, go for it! its not what you gain through the preaching, but what you will gain through the Holy Spirit. Cheers!! =)
P.S. note to self - post pictures once pictures are available for grabs on facebook.
