My Life Is Like A Drawn Out Season Of Heroes

I am really into season 3 of Heroes. (Click here to read up about it on IMDB.com) The thing I love the most is how the story unravels, the confusion is cleared and things start to make sense when all the characters come together.

I think there's a similarity to real life situations. Many times, at any one given point of time, we don't know all there is to know. We don't know the reason why we're in certain situations until much later when we start to see the results of it. It could be in the form of difficult choices, packed schedules, or difficult people to work with. I just love it when God gives me a glimpse of the future. As if He's saying, "Cheer up! You need to learn how to handle this so that you can do more in the future I have for you."

Wild International
I actually got the name from a song that Zack De La Rocha's new band wrote. That name really sparked my imagination. It brought back the dreams of travelling again. This week, I met a Japanese girl, born in Brazil, who lives in Canada. She needed directions to the MRT and I said I'd walk with her. Had a nice time chatting with her on the MRT. A nurse by profession, in a home for the elderly, she was supposed to be on a solo mission trip to Thailand. She had to redirected to Singapore because of the demonstrations there. She said, "I thank God for letting me meet you."

On Tuesday, after the megapraise meeting at Gerald's place, we met an exchange student from China. He was struggling with 2 luggage bags so we offered to help him carry it up to the train platform. Turns out he's an exchange student going back to China. Samuel was chatting with him in Mandarin and talking to him about church and God. But after Thomson and him got down at Aljunied, I spoke to him about my experience with God.
His reply, really humbled me. "Hearing what you've shared with me, I really want to go back and find out more."

What I had thought were my limitations. What I had thought was my lack of ability to speak other languages, my lack of time and finances to travel. What I had thought were obstacles to me achieving God's purpose were vapourised when God's Grace took over.

God says, "For now, I'll bring the nations to you."
