no.344 130409 Thank you for the unexpected encounter

Chatime is great, but still my favourite is grape bubble tea from here!

Do not conform to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 

Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -
his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:2

I was having dinner alone at a cafeteria, and there I had an unexpected encounter. I was having my pasta and reading an article on my phone until I noticed someone sit in front of me.

I looked up in curiosity and a little bit of fear, but I soon realized that I didn't have to worry about anything. He was a friend from my church, and he was on his way to grab something to eat. We were just talking and I shared with him about my dilemma - not having a clear answer for the summer. Talking to him helped me with my decision making. The purpose behind a mission trip shouldn't be for the sake of my own growth. What's most important is to first find out what God is already doing in the mission field, and what I can do to help fulfill God's vision for that land.

I'll be still praying about it until the end of the week.
