Why blog again?

I haven't blogged in ages. My last entry was 14th September 2005 (http://www.xanga.com/honeysoy). It feels weird writing again. What's weirder is that i found a comment posted on my previous blog in July 2006. I can't believe that someone was actually reading it.

So why am i blogging again? I told a friend that I'll start blogging again when I start my teaching career (coz i think i'll hv more time and more interesting stuff to reflect upon). But I haven't started teaching yet. (I just printed out the application form. So much stuff to fill up...must go dig up my old transcipts...) Well i'm partly blogging coz i've to start an account in order to view my good friends blog so i thot why not i start blogging now.

I wonder if anyone is reading this. So weird....

oh, one more thing i want to add. Today i continued to ask God for a specific sign to confirm the decision to move into teaching now. I was reading Gideon in the bible (Judges 6) and like Gideon who asked a confirmation fm God, i too wanted that reassurance. But i'm not sure a sign will be given. I shared this with a firend over coffee this afternoon and he told me that maybe a sign will be given only when I move into teaching (he was speaking fm his own experience when he moved into full time). But for me, intellectually i'm convinced its a right move as its in line with what i value in life i.e. investing for eternity, loving God and loving His people. But its still nice to hv a clear sign fm God....like Gideon did : )

NB: I love the story of Gideon, esp the part where God addressed him as "Mighty Warrior" when dear fightful Gidon was hidding in the wine press threshing wheat. And Gideon in all honesty (or foolardy) accused God of abonding his people. Instead of striking him down with lightening, God sent Gideon to save his people i.e. Gideon became an answer to his own prayers. In many ways i can identify with Gideon, being afraid and blaming God... But I love how God is so gracious to Gideon and how God could see the potential that no one else even Gideon couldn't see in himself. And eventually God helped Gideon realise his full potential with God as his strength and guide. Beautiful story! You should read it http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=judges%206&version=31
