Thanking God for so many things...

So much has happened since I last updated...so many ups and downs.

But I wanna thank God for preserving me and continuing to use me. For the past 3 weeks...it was crazy for me. For the first time, flights after flights...missions after missions....all went bad. My confidence hit rock bottom...I was no longer looking forward to fly...I had lost the drive and the fighting spirit to continue. But God continue to work within me, each time I kept asking him to guide me...each time i kept trusting him. Though missions were bad...i still held on to him. 3 weeks later...came one of the best weeks.

I ended this week with 4 blues and a yellow. Yes, the yellow was a bad flight, but i'm glad cuz now my confidence is renewed. Jesus reigns! But theres 2 things in particular I wanna blog about... firstly...

30/09/09 Wed morning...I was supposed to fly in the afternoon, but when I reported, ops have shifted my mission earlier and I had to plan asap! Thus, I went on to start my preparation...got my points and targets etc... Half-way into my planning, the clerk came in and passed me a letter. It was weird cuz I wasn't expecting anything...I saw who it was from....(Esther!) and I was like.....oh? She dint tell me she sent a letter...hmm... but I had to get back to my mission planning and in my haste left the letter leaning against the wall. 4hrs later...I landed. Excellent mission, glad...went for lunch... Suddenly... "OH NO!" "I LEFT THE LETTER IN THE NAVIGATION ROOM!" I immediately rushed back to sqn...hoping to find it. Fortunately...it was still there against the wall! I took it back to my room and opened it. It was really weird cuz it dint felt like a piece of paper or sth...but quite alot of stuff inside. When I spilled everything out on the table...I was stunned, speechless...and lost for words.

On the table was...letters after letters frm all my loved ones in church...each expressing how much i'm missed and asking me to press on...cheering me on, reminding me that I'm always in their prayers...
