Four months has passed since my last post. It was the beginning of SOT, and now the end is coming soon. It feels surreal... Five more weeks till I am an SOT 2010 Graduate ((: It's going to be bittersweet; but more bitter. Haha. I'm going to miss being in the church auditorium everyday; to be in His presence. But I have to move on... Bring what I've learned and put into practice. The past months have been amazing... God is so real. The visions and the revelations I have received were mindblowing. On top of that, His assurance of His love and never leaving me is even more tangible. It is so easy to feel God now - everywhere! Afterall, we are to be a carrier of His presence.

Even though the month of June was one of the worst times in my life, it was a period of moulding and testing. Now that I am 80% out of the wilderness, I have emerged stronger, transformed and renewed! Just like Job, it is after being tested that he emerged as gold. Dr A.R. Bernard too said, "purification happens through a crisis." After that period of crises, I have moved on to the next level in my character, and my Spiritman has grown.

Pastor Mike Connell's week was memorable and life-changing... All my past hurts and pains are healed and immediately, I felt so released. I am now a new and improved Sarah (: That was definitely a highlight of SOT.

I am leaving for mission trip to Kota Kinabalu tomorrow! I'm so excited and glad that I will be going with most of my teammates. Afterall, I can only go to a mission trip with my SOT teammates once in my life. Furthermore, it is going to be awesome! I feel that, I've given the opportunity to serve so much and this really increases my capacity. One surprising thing is my ability to create the skit! It's really all thanks to Holy Spirit for inspiration and creativity. I'm proud of my teammates for their commitment and acting skills! They are doing well (: Apart from that, I'm going to lead P&W, testimony and offering message for cgm on Friday night. On Saturday for the youth service, I'm one of the frontliner for P&W, and going to sing a song item after the skit, in conjunction with the theme... The song item is another thing which caught me off guard. Truly, God gives the promotion, recognition... As we yield ourselves with our talents, no matter how inept we may be, He will use us, and He will empower us. I sincerely pray that my vocals will be so anointed and touch many lives through the song. On Sunday, I will be leading P&W again for the Filipino Fellowship. Sounds like a packed weekend! But, I'm going to enjoy myself and believe that God will use me mightily! This shall be my first mission trip among many more to come! ((:

Oh, I had an interview with Key Editions for the position of the Junior Writer. It went well, in my opinion. Throughout the process, I felt God's peace and wisdom in me. I do hope that it will be the stepping stone to my career in writing. If not, a better one will come. By faith, I will get my dream job before mid-August, so that I will be able to share my wonderful testimony during SOT Graduation Ceremony (: That will be one of my desires coming to pass (:


Somehow, there's still a void within me... Lord, please take this away and deliver me... You are bigger than any problems and any situations... I believe that You can solve this... All things work together for good unto those who love You...
