Transitions

Long ago, my form 5 tuition teacher who dabbled in numerology and such told me, "Cheng Hong, beware of new things."

It was a fair warning. After all, everything New is Unknown, and everything Unknown has it's Risks. But I think in the 4 years since that statement, I have to say it was a wise thing to say to a form 5 student about to enter college life. There were many moments since then when I was faced with new things, new paths to follow and I thank God for His grace, that I didn't go down certain paths. I certainly almost did, you might even compare it to me being at the edge of a cliff, and I was blessed with always being able to walk away. All this He has done, despite the fact I left Him out of my life during those trials.

Safe to say, God has been good these 2 years that I've come back to Him, and I've discovered new relationships, new lessons, new experiences. Then, Australia happened. It was new, it was unknown, and it certainly shook my world, and I was desperate to control it all by myself. Which obviously didn't work out that well, and for a while i floundered, trying to find anything to hold on to to keep afloat.

Then, I compare the next event to this, that God was trying and nudging me slowly like a stubborn horse(1990 yo!) back to Him all this while, then suddenly God took out the cattle prod (or horse prod) and gave me a undeniable 'request' to come back. Haha so yeah thats what happened recently, that I came to learn to let go of myself, and let God in. This path that I want to take, it can be seen as something New too, something Unknown, something Risky, like all the previous ones! But this time, I'm quite sure, there is nothing New, Unknown, or Risky to my God. He just has the best plan, and He wants me to take that path so that I may have the best ending of all.

After all, His path, is the path of eternal life.
