I rose up this morning feeling a bit tired. After my daily routine, I went out for catching the bus, and finally when I sat down in the waiting room at Polegate station. I turned on my phone searching for the life-study programme today and realised, "Aww, it's my birthday".
It's really not a special day. I still have work to do, and I woke up early as usual. I don't feel energetic because, well, you know, ladies have their monthly visitor.
However, it's kinda special because this year will be the very last year for my 20s. Having thought about how I've been through my 20s, it's really the grace of God. The best thing of my 20s is that I heard the call to move to Europe for further study and I took it in. My early 20s was for my preparation to come to Europe in terms of my language, my funding, and my health. My mid-20 was a bit crazy and confusing but I managed to get over all cultural differences and survived in the UK. Between my mid-and late 20s, the Lord brought me to Cardiff for a healthy church life. The time there I saw the miniature of the reality of the church life. This is really how the church life shall look like in Europe. Small, intimate, full of life and personal care but also being kept in the one fellowship with other localities as the universal Body of Christ. My late 20s has been a frustration but now it seems to get slightly better (hopefully). I've learned, and am still learning how to look upon the Lord for anything I need in order to follow Him.
I'm really thankful.
Lord, make the last year of my 20s still follow You faithfully. I love You and I want to see Your smiling face. May whatever we do today can hasten Your coming. We look forward to seeing You :)
