However, I find myself closer and closer to God during this semester. This semester was somehow different from the rest.. conversations did not circle aroung the topic of dating and expectations but it centered around, how Joshua conquered Jericho, the concept of discipline in our lives, academic excellence, on how I can become a quantity surveyor and of course, my projects.
Now that the semester has come to an end, the CHC trial has finally come to an end (well that's if the Law minister doesn't insist on increasing their sentence). Pastor Phil preached an incredible, heartwarming message about presence of God. A simple thirty minute message of Pslam 42 and that was enough to fill my soul.
There was an alter call given after the service and I'd must say that this is the most special alter call given because people still accepted God despite the circumstances of the church. Tears welded up in eyes when Pastor Kong was on stage assisting the people who received salvation... Many thoughts went through my head and I was reminded of Pastor Kong and Sun praying for my future in the construction industry.
I remembered the prayer they gave very vividly, although it happened last May. It was during a business fellowship luncheon organized by Rick and Sherie and immediately right after the sharing, Pastor asked whether anyone needed prayer and me being me, went straight up to him and Sun.
My tears slowly streamed down as they laid hands on me and prayed a very simple, genuine prayer over my future in the construction industry.
I'd miss Pastor's faith filled sermons and his lame Instagram posts and these 3.5 years shall swift pass real quick.
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
