Afraid but Ready.

Hi blog.

It's been really long since I have updated. Mostly because I was lazy.

FBC has come and gone since I last updated. The past 2 months have been the greatest. Just planning for FBC and dancing and whatnot. I have bonded with so many people in Pompeii, it's great.
FBC was honestly a lot of fun, with great and active freshies and having been surrounded with some of the best people in FMS.

At the same time, I was helping out in church for the Good Friday service with the drama ministry team of CAM and that was a blast. Every time we met up, the sessions would be filled with so much laughter, I don't even know how we managed to get things done. JL is an incredibly gifted person and a great leader as well. He led us through all the sessions and he's really awesome (thumbs up emoji inserted here).

We have also been gearing up for the 35th Anniversary celebration of COR. As part of the CHORUS editorial team, I went back to help SB with the magazine and the compilation of photos for the videos and slideshows. I sifted through hard drives and albums of photos and then cropped and edited them. It took a few days and very long hours but it was all worth it as I watched everything play out smoothly during the dinner today. Also, SB is an incredible woman. She had to make the latest issue of CHORUS come to life, all while planning and making everything else for the 35th Anniversary dinner. I would have burned out a long time, but she did not. She is so amazing, oh man.

So, the dinner was today and it was honestly a lot of fun. I haven't laughed so much in so long. Everybody was just having fun, and enjoying food and taking loads of photos and I'm just so glad and thankful to be a part of this family.

The title of my blog post today is 'Afraid but Ready' because in 2 days, Year 2 begins. I was reading through the announcements that the lecturers have put up in preparation of Year 2 and as I read them, I could feel myself begin to panic because I was NOT. READY. FOR. THIS.
Everything is just going by so fast, and I am afraid that I haven't grown enough to take on so much but then, I just came back from a CHURCH dinner and all I could really do was turn to God.
What else could I do, right? Panicking was definitely not helping.
But even as I fear for the coming year, the Lord provides:

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
- Joshua 1:9

Even as the year ahead is going to be a tough and scary journey, I know that He will always be there for me and I should embrace whatever comes my way because with Him, I will be ready for anything. 

I am unsure when I will be updating again, but when I do, it will be of something positive and good because the Lord provides. 

Goodbye.
