A cup of tea... anyone?

It's good to finally participate in Bible Study discussion after having to always lead discussions. And I forgot to bring my Bible! (oops.. I really forgot k? I always have my Bible with me!) OCF is starting on a study on the book of Romans and yesterday was BS1!! Oh my, this brings back so much BS leading memories. I can just see image after image of my memories and struggles of leading BS flashing across my eyes. And... to see my Dynamites cell members stepping up and lead is soooo encouraging! I am so proud of each of them!! It's like a mother seeing their kid graduate and grow up!! HAHA. But, I must say, Nicola did a superb job!! I knew she would anyway... I was beaming with pride and almost shed a tear when she led discussion!! And, Kenneth, my C2 seems to be more involved and committed to OCF and taking more responsibilities which I'm very happy to see!! Oh my, I'm so proud.... :D And how bout my baby brother leading OCF Swinburne with so much passion? The amount of preparation and dedication and God-seeking has really blown me away! It is entirely another story and I am one proud sister seeing him growing up and growing faith by faith. *sobs*

Oh, and during T-Time, people were sharing on how great God has been to them during summer. And, again, it brought back all the hurt and pain and discouragement of summer. One by one people were sharing how amazing and fruitful their summer was. And there I was, I have nothing to thank God for. I tried to think of one thing. But, no... nothing to thank God for. I was faced with the reality that my summer suck! It did suck! Don't try to convince me otherwise because... sadly, it did suck. It was just filled with disappointment and hurt. Everything that happened during summer just flashed across my eyes and once again stabbed me so hard.

And... guess what is the theme for this year? GO DREAM. I know right? What a coincidence? And my previous post was about dreams (despite naming it no title... I figured it would be too cliche to name it dream). Well, Nicola told us to write our dreams down into a piece of paper and I wrote down all my dreams and once again, all these dreams felt alive again. It felt like I can dream again. It felt like God is telling me not to give up, to stay strong, that this dream is God-given and worth chasing after.
