I am back at home today. It feels like it has been a long time. Came back for ample of reasons, and one of the main ones was to celebrate Herbie's 25th Year of Missionary work with Campus Crusade for Christ.
It was a poignant moment for me. A reality that set in, after my month long floating in the air. I think I have just been brushing thoughts aside. It is easy to do that I guess. Sitting in the thanksgiving ceremony was like a waking moment for me. My soul awoken to God's voice once again.
I was just thinking, how fabulous it must be to end well. Herbie hasn't even ended his journey on earth, and yet he has accomplished so much with Ling Ming and his family. I want my family to be the same too. I admire his courage and strength, in leading not only his own flesh and blood, but also the people he serves and serves with. He has been a great influence over my life, even though I have spent so little time with him and Ling Ming personally. They are invaluable to Malaysia. On a side note, he should be knighted. Hehe...
I do not want to come to the end of my life with lots of possessions, a hard heart and broken relationships with people around me. Instead, I would rather have little at the end and still have made impact in people's lives. I do not need to have had influence over others, all I ask for is just deep friendships and genuine relationships with everyone around me. I want to be the person that has encouraged others through either my passion for God and life or even just verbally. I do not want to be the one who has lived selfishly and did nothing for people. I would have been disappointed with myself.
God, make this come true. I do not have to be famous. I can stay as the simple and forthright Grace. Love you and will trade you for nothing else. Run with me all the days of my life. I need no other.
running still,
