End of the journey.....

Three years have past very fast…..and now I’m in the final stage of my journey in STM. Almost done with my thesis, another 4 papers to clear for this semester….technically speaking another 12 weeks of class and that’s all about it. God willing, I’ll be graduating with my M.Div on the 20th October 2007.

However, as I was preparing a sermon for next Friday chapel, I realized that my actual journey will only begin once I graduate. It is another phase in life and my personal journey with the Lord. I notice that nothing will be promising….except for eternity. I also realized that ministry is not going to be ‘a bed of roses’. In fact, it is going to be a thorny path which I need to travel everyday solely depending on God’s grace. I pray that God will prepare me that I will endure all things for His Glory. That i will grow in my faith and be prepared to confess like the apostle Paul, "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain". Philippians 1:21
