That one week in mission trip taught me a lot of things. I guess when I said that I wanted to know more about God, He really showed me so much more about Himself than what I've expected. Those little things that I've never expected God to remember? Yep He does.

I think the greatest lesson which I took away from the trip was really the grace of God. Just by the simple act of Hannah washing our feet, I was given a glimpse of what it is like to have Jesus wash our feet. I never felt so unworthy, so low, so unimportant. Yet God Himself was ever so willing to bend down and wash my dirty, disgusting feet. It was a great blow to me. Many times I've read the passage, but it never really spoke to me. It was then it occurred to me how God broke me down deep inside so badly on both Wednesday and Thursday so that I can understand more fully about His grace. But I know this is not going to stop here. I await much more grace and love pouring over me. I want to share it as well. God also made a way for me to share it as well. (e.g. the taxi driver. God is awesome :) )

Oh, just today I was shopping at Bugis Street for my cousin's present. It was then I realised that I had lost my phone. Frantically I searched around, but knowing how Bugis Street is like, I kinda gave up hope already. In my mind I was praying really hard that some nice assistant is to pick it up and return it to me. I suppressed my fears as I called my mum via the public phone. Each ring seemed like an eternity as I fought back my tears. "Just great, no one can help me now," I thought. I was ready to burst into tears already, so ready....when my mum finally picked up the phone and told me she knew that I had lost my phone. She told me to call the girl who left her number with my mum. And God is really awesome. She was really a kind shop assistant who was so nice to return my phone to me! YAYYYYY! I was so worried about losing my EZ link card as well. Well, all I can say is GOD IS GOOD! Let's hear a big AMEN to that!
