"Is anyone twenty? ...twenty-one!"

Haha! If anyone of you knows the song "Is anyone thirsty?" that's how that mocking tagline sounds like.

How fast time flies... one moment, I just said "I'm twenteen years old." Can't believe it's been a year already since that moment...

Well, I cannot hold back time. I'm growing old. But I'm not growing taller. It's not a big deal anymore. I love my height. :) Just right.

Praise God for His faithfulness in the last 20 years of my life. Looking back at the path I have been walking on, I realized that God is really walking with me. There were times that I swerved from the path. Sometimes my foot is walking on the path, and the other one on another path. I walked through thick forest, dark valleys, wild rivers, quiet seas, imposing mountains, vast plateaus overlooking an overwhelming beautiful landscape... it's been a journey. And until now, I am still in a journey towards wherever God had planned me to be.

I celebrated my birthday with my Youth Revive family. June 16 was the third Saturday of the month, our schedule for our monthly Youth Revive gathering. Praise God for the words of blessings that I received on this day. And for the experience He gave me to worship lead the youth of YR for the first time. It was not my birthday party. But even so, I felt like it was. :)

The following Sunday was father's day. In the evening, my family and I went to dine out to celebrate fathers' day and my birthday. Then came Tuesday, the schedule for our Cell Group. We ate Monster Pizza, junk food, and coke. And that was enough for dinner. Healthy, right? Haha! This was still in celebration of my birthday, and also, the "passing-of-baton ceremony" from our Cell Group leader to me. She has to move on as God brings her to a higher calling. And so it's time for me to take her place. To take care of our small cell group and nurture them into fruitful Christians. I have to move on as God brings me as well to a higher calling. It's not at all my forte... It's not at all my dream job. But I want to obey the Lord. That's all that matters. By God's grace, and by God's grace alone will I be able to fulfill whatever God wants me to do right now.

All praises and glory to You, my King, my God, my Father, and my Savior!
