Thursday

I'm just back from a meet-up with Pst. Ida. (The lady on the right in the picture - this picture wasn't taken today, btw. It was taken sometime in my 1st term of MBTS)

Drove to the Hensons' residence after school, lunch and music practice was over. Had a good time of fellowship over coffee. It felt like home-coming in a way...and my (spiritual) mom welcoming me home and waiting excitedly to hear all my stories. LOL. It was also good to see Pastor Jojo and their 5 kids after such a long time! Sweet...

I miss the people at ECF.

One thing amazing about discipleship - it never ends. The relationships built on trust and love over time carry on. And when you see the person you have discipled growing into maturity, loving and serving God wholeheartedly, continuing to bear fruit for the Lord in his/her life and ministry...and repeating that discipleship process in another person's life, you are overjoyed and humbled at God's grace.

One thing out of the many things Pst. Ida has always modelled to me is biblical womanhood. She taught me to be a woman whose feminine expression of faith withstood the test of time in a feminist world. She taught me not to be discouraged or diminished by the opinion of my generation's culture, so that I can keep my eyes on the high calling of motherhood found in the Bible. She taught me the blessings of a wife's loving submission to her own husband... ultimately as an act of worship and obedience to the Lord. Lastly, it was also through her life that I learned the role of women in ministry.

Anyway. I digressed.

My day was fine. Today's class was a little tougher. I don't know why...but I developed nausea - and I thought I'd puke. Don't usually eat sweets... but today, I ate Eunice's sweets. My poor stomach was faked out by lunch. When they handed around mooncake with nuts inside, I broke into cold sweat. Literally.

Right now, I have a huge, huge, huge tummy-ache. *Sweat*
