Running Start - Random Update

Ah.. yes.So finally... here I am in Singapore... just a week away from formally starting my M.A. Things have moved incredibly fast... and the blessings have fallen into place so well and in so timely a fashion that I have to step up and manage these efficiently. I haven't even gotten the time to sit back and enjoy my recent little victories... But I guess that's a good thing, because it means I won't get to gloat as much as I'd want to... and because I'll be so busy with something else... I won't have these achievements get into my head.

I'm excited with the prospect of exploring a new city, meeting new people, learning and applying new things and living independently... of course uncertainty will always be there, but I have faith that as long as I do my part, things will fall into place.

I've managed to step-up my pace and hit a running start with life here, but... in my silent moments I can't help but think of my past life back in Manila... I realize that as comfortable as things have been for me back home... I have no recourse but to go through with this if I were to grow. Discomfort and detachment are imperatives for further growth.

I've allowed God to run my life now... and what's so great is... He has taught me lessons and shown me previews of how things could be if I remain faithful to His cause.

More than anything career oriented, I now have a very good reason to come back. The world is my playground... but that doesn't prevent me from setting my base/roots in Manila.
