Leaving

It is sad when people leave.

This past half a year, I've certainly experienced people leaving and myself leaving as well. Realised how much impact relationships can make in our lives - whether we feel that we are in a position of helping or receiving help in the particular relationship. Will certainly miss some experiences with these people. With some of them whom I've received help from, it's been inspiring to see their passion and love for God and people in what they do. It's encouraging to see how different these people are yet reflecting aspects of the image of God in their character and lifestyles.

Will also be missing people whom I serve. I know this sounds cliche, but through this experience, I've gained so much and I'm thankful for the friendships that have been made. Sometimes it is really in serving others that we understand ourselves a lot better. And I certainly have. It's been a great privilege.

I suppose we can never fully know whether the decisions that we've made are right or not, or in line with God's will. But we make the wise decision we can make for the season and trust God. Like what one of my colleagues said today, we need not get caught up with our circumstances, but most importantly, we need to be at rest with God in our circumstances. how simple but yet profound! Praying for this rest each step of the way, even as people come and go, and it can be really hard.
