dream!

hi guys! here's some food for thought.

you know, i made a bunch of close friends in sec sch. though we are now mostly studying in separate schools, we make it a point to meet up and well, stay close.

recently one of my friends HQ came back from Perth. she's currently studying there, pursuing her dream to become a vet. i've not seen her for 10 months, and she's coming back only for a holiday. something about HQ really makes me admire her.. to tell you the truth, she's not very rich, but she sacrificed a lot to pursue her dream. and i understand her passion for animals, she loves them.. not only for their cuteness and company, but something more than that, really. if you see her house u'll understand. it's like a Zoo- she got birdS, rabbitS, fisheS..

i stayed over at her house last night, and over brunch we chatted randomly about life.

and then i mentioned that i really admire people who work hard towards whatever they have in mind. and then huiqian looked at me.. and she said, "ya! do you know how powerful dreams are? it's like, wow.."

i cannot describe how that hit me.. i dont know why either.. it was like, yea.. really.. very very powerful. like her, she dreamt to be a vet, and now, i looked at her notes, her stuff, HER, who's now studying in Perth. i can imagine her as Dr HQ already.. i know she's on her way.. it's just a matter of time.

and then another friend in my JC, XH (yea the one im inviting to youth camp).. she wants to get a scholarship, and head to London, so that she can enter the best accountancy sch, and support her family well.. she's working so hard for it, i actually believe that she can do it.

and then i start thinking.. what's my dream?

and then i thought about God.. and thought: i just want to go to Heaven and be with Him, want people to hear the Good News so that they can go there too. i want God's will to be done, cause that's like, the best..

i guess that's a rather big dream. so whatever la, gotta work towards it.. though i lack the discipline, sometimes very nuah.. i prayed for help, and for long term enthusiasm.

you too okay! think about your dream. dreams are powerful, and i believe, much MUCH more powerful when they are according to God's Plan.
