Looking upwards...

Today I realised that sometimes I look to man/self for what only God can give. I seek every other solution, except God's solution. I don't do these things intentionally, but I do it nonetheless. I've heard it preached about a million times, but it's just something that creeps in. Today, in the shower, a song came to my heart. A simple and old praise song. So, I sang, and worship brought me freedom. After so many days, I felt close to God. So note to self: When you feel empty or in need, look upwards...towards Heaven!

BOTAK!!

Hey everyone,

        Last wednesday I shaved my head for the "World's Greatest Shave" to raise funds for the Leukemia Foundation. Doesn't look too bad right?

I wasn't the only one who shaved my head. So did the Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences & Medicine. He promised to shave his head if our faculty managed to raise $1000. And we did!!
        So what else has been happening? Well, nothing much. Not this semester anyway. It's all studies for me because we have a barrier exam at the end of this semester. That means I have to pass this exam if I ever want to be a 2nd year med student.
        Sometimes I look back on my life, and I think...no, I'm sure...that it's only by God's grace that I've gotten this far. I mean, here's this clueless boy fumbling thru life, facing impossible challenges and making so many mistakes along the way...yet somehow I'm still standing! Indeed God has really poured out His grace and mercy upon my life.
        So I wanna encourage anyone who's reading this. Sometimes if you feel lost, just call out and continue to trust in Him. It's only when we're lost that God can really "find" you...if you know what I mean. If we think for 1 sec that we have everything under control, then we have no need for God...and in that situation, even if we're headed somewhere, we may be going the wrong way!
        Anyway, hope all of that made sense. I'm going to sleep now. Take care people!
