Pixosition

It could have been the worst weekend as I would need to wake up early at 5am on Saturday after dealing with my diarrhoea. I was tempted to call Cow Yuan to inform her that I will not be joining them for the HeadStart retreat. Yes…the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Was it the the word “retreat” that somewhat made me to push on to attend? or was it the little message in my mind telling me to hang on, get some rest now and be ready tomorrow. As being one of the drivers to drive up to GraceHill Lodge, Bukit Tinggi in the initial plan, I know that I’m not in a well condition to drive… thank you Carol for driving! (She’s a law abiding person! I would recommend her to be your extra instructor after you receive your driving licence).

Our last “official” meeting in this retreat is certainly different from the other meetings we had before… not that the previous meeting brings no significance to me, they had triggered many thoughts in my head. Personally to me, this was somewhat different as there was a calling to make time for reflection as I’ve not been doing that for a long time. The best thing was the type of reflection to do called the “timeline”. I use to reflect on days before the current days itself, perhaps a little further to months. This is different as it is a reflection from the day one individual to come into this world till the current time of reflection. The guidelines itself has triggered many things that’s been hidden in some lost part of my mind and so as bringing back the past memories that’s been sad and happy and how God’s blessings has been showered throughout the years.

I believe that God’s plan is the best for every believers of Him whether if it is a good news or bad news. His timing and His plans and His work is perfect in every ways. What touched me was His unfailing love and His calling to His children to come back to Him when they have took their own desired path regardless how far they have gone. I believe that this HeadStart group meetings has been one of His way to show me His works on others through their sharing and get me back right on track.

Arriving Subang at about 4pm was tiring and sad to me as the journey of this HeadStart meeting has reach the last chapter of the book “Following Jesus in the Real World” by Richard Lamb. As Cow Yuan and the others put it, it is the end of our meeting as a HeadStart group but our journey together is just a start.

As I thought the retreat and everything in the meeting itself would make a blessed weekend but I was wrong. It’s not till later I got a call from Iishan (during my 20 mins nap) to join some of the youths for Ultimate Frisbee. Thought perhaps I should decline and get some sleep but this little message in my head telling me to go for it. The end of the frisbee game was the best in the evening as we have a little talk on bringing in TRU TV.

Nothing more that I could ask for…

To Agnes, Shireen and Eric… we miss you there! Lets have another meet up next time as a catching up session.
