Laguna 2009

This trip was rather.. different from the previous one last year yet absolutely wholesome and heartwarming as ever. I was encouraged by the little deeds like Joy coming up just to say thank you for the lesson, nods and enthusiatic taking of notes during my lesson on 'leadership by example'

Didn't manage to have much time on my own except a short 2-3hour break..
I took a stroll around the cook house as Christain invited me down.. took a peek into the dark kitchen and was welcomed to step in to take a look.. walls were charcoal black and meal cooking was simple.. mass cooking in a big wok.. yet.. there was so much enthusiasm in meal time.. simple joys indeed...

Though I should not compare , I am reminded .. of the excess I have at home.. and to be thankful of the fact that I am not lacking ...

This is a unique ministry..
and as I took a walk back to my dorm.. a verse reminded me too that I have been warned that the road would never be easy but to carry on and walk with joy to finish up the race thats planned out for me..

Acts 20: 22 -24
