Embrace

Genting Highlands Theme Park has always been my favorite spot for adrenaline rush, numbness, heart dropping, lung stressing, and shouting spree. They had various rides which was so far, the best i’ve been (because i’ve yet to try Universal Studios Singapore!)  besides Sunway Lagoon =.=. not really.

SO, i have this really favorite ride which was the thingy that drops all of a sudden after sending you up high high for minutes. It will just DROP you down and at that moment, you couldn’t even shout (i could only shout the 2nd time after). My lungs felt the sudden change of attitude and my ribs had a sudden jam which made me breathless for a moment before reaching the bottom then up again for the ‘reverb’. Its awesome.

The other ride was the CORKSCREW OMG!. its the Corkscrew Roller Coaster. It has a corkscrew part *like a… =.=, corkscrew* where you zoom through this rail that makes you go upside down and not just once, but twice! Starting from the top and going at high speed. I could feel my whole body pulled by gravity when i was right in the middle of the corkscrew. I thought i was about to die but nope. Because. =.=

on the 19-21st of Dec last year, i joined the YA and Youth church camp. Organized by the YA leaders, that includes me as well, we went to Similajau National Park in Bintulu. A venue where you could enjoy the breeze from the South China Sea, surrounded by the beach forest with Malaysian pine trees, monkeys, and… whatever.

The main theme throughout the camp was this- Discipleship.

Big word huh?

Imagine the actions to live up to that word.

Ever since that day, in less than 3 weeks, life has been a roller coaster ride. It was so crazy, scary, to the point i cried and knelt down to stop everything from going on. It felt like i could die already because i’ve tasted the high part of the ride. But i was actually going through another corkscrew in life, there was more to come.

And the hardest part of going through the lows, was to give thanks.

It was difficult. I’ve sung many songs about surrendering but when it comes to surrendering something, someone, in an area of your life, a treasure to you, to me, it was the most difficult time, a struggle not with anyone but it was a battle with myself.

I’ve never came across an experienced where i thought i was talking to another person inside my head. But this is where i’ve learned to discerned whose voice i’m supposed to listen to. Its difficult at first but what i had to do was rest my feet, take a rest, be still, and focused to the still voice that builds. The voice that reassures. The voice that controls. The voice that lift us up from the low that we’re at.

It was a random thought but i was reflecting on the past few weeks, looking for a word to be a somewhat a slogan, or a hint for this year’s journey.

EMBRACE.

that’s the word for this year. I’ll learn to embrace. Be it the good situation, the bad situation, or the Godly calling. I’ll try to embrace it. Eventually i’ll obey.

God, You did it again. This one’s for you.
Thank You God. Thank you.

Faith. Hope. Love.
