Really had to pick up my strength to blog again. Hahaha. Is it true that if your age grows, you will become less likely to blog about stuffs? Maybe that's the case for me. Oh well, updates of me coming up.
August marks the graduation from School of Theology (SOT)! Everything just comes and goes so fast. In a blink of an eye, 5 and 1/2 months are already over. The tears that we shed, the joy that we had, the help that we rendered, the lunches that we ate marked the end of one chapter of our lives, once again. SOT has been a great (wait.. I should say phenomonial!) time for all of us. Not just in the theory or the theology, but the principles that were lived out by the staffs through examples.
Late night prayer meetings. After-school-fellowship gang. Ban mians and swensens. EXAMS. The 'flying markers' by Pst Meng. The fire drill. The photo-takings. KK MISSION TRIP. JB excursion. Jolene's sudden spasm. MORNING BREAKS. Dozing off in class (along with ALOT of blackmailing photos). 241. Scanning cards before 8.45am. Running towards the card scanners before 8.45am. Jurong West Street 91. Deliverance. "Good morning, SOTTTTT!" Chapel services. Multiple services. Commissioning service. Ministry. PREACHING TESTS. Serenity. Keppel Club. MOCK CGs. Morning calls. "25". Doraemon. Birthday cakes and presents. TEAM 7. Events are but for a while, memories may last longer, but it is the relationships that bring us the joy once again.
If you asked whether would I go back there again, I won't hesitate. I thank God He brought me through this route. Something which I would not have and never will regret.
August has basically been the month of chaos. After SOT, what's next?
Work? Where? What's the pay? Which industry to go into? Will it be long? Will I fit in? How am I going to find a job? Is this what I want?
Teach? Becoming a full fledged private tutor? Where would my location be? How much can I charge and gain from it? Will it be good? Will it succeed? Should I go MOE? Get a degree in education? Is it worth it? Be a school teacher? Is this the path I want to go?
Study somemore? Going for masters? Local? Overseas? Do an additional degree in a private university? Where will the finances come in? Is it feasible? Would I need it? Can it wait? Should I take this route or should I not?
This is why I need wisdom. To know and do the right things at the right time. It is so important.
A lot of decisions need to be made. And I pray that I will make the right ones.
Well, that's all I have for the month of August.
Till next time, Till the last trumpet sound. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 小酒窝 林俊杰, 阿sa
