Welcome Tea

Today was Welcome Tea!!! I have been enormously encouraged today, really. Seeing the J1s come down to worship together, to have fellowship together, to hear testimonies, I could feel my spirit being renewed by our gathering together.

I was reminded again of WHY I am in HwaChong. NOT because I got 6 points, NOT because I have an impressive profile (that I don't), but because it was God's will.
And where God has placed me, He will use me!

I was reflecting on why I chose HwaChong that night. I remember I decided because I wanted to go for the best since God has given me the best. I didn't really think about the uniform, the stress, the subject combi, but I knew that God had a plan for me wherever I went. And it's all true!!! When I think about the many opportunities to bear testimony to Him, I want to dance and sing and twirl in delight and gratefulness. I'm serious! *beams*

In MGS, almost everyone was Christian, it was almost like part of the culture and I took it for granted. I don't deny I miss that. Yet when I entered HC, surrounded by non-Christians, I was made so aware of the fact that I was a child of God, the responsibility I had to share God's love and grace with others, the call to be salt and light in the community. And I can really feel that my achievement is not measured by my grades or my CCA record, but by how much I could serve my Saviour in HC! Be it through prayer meetings, or PEG, I never imagined God could use me in such a manner to reach out others!

JC for Jesus Christ!
