You hold my world in Your hands...

Been sitting in front of the computer for nearly half the day. As usual, my mind drifted off beyond the boundaries of time and space and a thought came to mind.

"Time just flew by me. Do I know where I'm headed when I'm done next year?"

I searched for an answer deep down, but to no avail. Mei asked me yesterday, "So what do you plan to do once you've graduated?" I surprised even myself as I had no answer and I could merely reply "I don't really know yet."

I'm the kind of person where everything that I've planned must at least come to completion for the most part of it. I plan ahead, and even have contingency plans for the "just in case" scenario that so often happens. When things go beyond my control, I get frustrated and disappointed as I'm pretty sure all of us do as humans.

As Year 3 begins, I start to wonder if I know what are my plans right after this. I look in front and I realize that there is so much uncertainty and so much of fears surrounding what might happen, what might go wrong, and any related issues. I've realized that without a proper plan, as humans we tend to push the panic button and go haywire wondering what to do next. Placed in our respective "comfort zones" make us too complacent and stubborn to make a change.

Facing such a dilemma, I wondered what to do next.

BUT...

I realize that I have no need to worry or fear what is coming my way 'cause my Creator holds my tomorrows and my future. With all the prophesies about me going all over the world with Europe being among them, I am extremely excited. Time and time and again I hear of former classmates and schoolmates moving overseas to further their studies and I tend to wonder when my turn will come.

I just know that God has a plan to prosper me, to give me a hope and a future and I can rest in the assurance that His word is true. Looking at things through my human eyes, I see no way of all that ever happening. Looking at things through the eyes of faith and through His eyes, all things are possible to him who believes.

I am excited. This will only be the beginning of great things to come. I believe...

Signing off,
Matt
