I'm 27 today. Approaching late-twenties already...gosh. I thank God for the past 26 years, especially in the past 4 years where He brought me to Him. At times, I feel that I have not achieved much at my age, especially when most of my peers back home have already had a headstart on their career. A secondary school friend have even got a child already! Though I know career shouldn't be the focus of life, but I still feel the desire to go out there to the marketplace. However, I believe whole heartedly that there is a purpose for my extended stay here in UK. My Phd has not been a 'Permanent Head Damage' experience but 'Prayer, Healing and Deliverance'. The journey has been tough at times, because academia isn't my cup of tea. However, I do enjoy brainstorming and being creative in my research.
Am thankful for the birthday greetings I have received. Each one of them is precious. It's funny how there seems to be a special need for attention today, telling people that it's MY birthday, haha. Realise I can actually laugh off my pride and my own foolishness. The other extreme is to keep totally quiet about it and not want anyone to know-disguised pride. Anyways, I will be spending the evening with a brother who has the same birthday and a small group of friends. Not sure if they would enjoy drinking, but I have a bottle of white port wine in my bag, hehe.
Going off to a nice lunch now with a close brother whom I just got encouraged by his desire to know more about God and the bible.
