I was just going thru some of my journals and realised that since
young, every mission trip i went on, i had mixed motives (somehow there
was always this guy on the trip…. yup yup) and my reflections were
all really shallow. And i was already 20 years old at that point.

Just made me think about how God is amazing and He can work with us at
any stage of our lives and allow us to grow. I thank God for that. If
an adult had just said, oh no, ailing is too immature to go on this
trip or do this or that, I would have missed out on so much. Of course
there were times when i got “disciplined” by my leaders and thru love
and guidance i learnt much but they somehow believed in me and did not
give up on me.

Maybe that’s why i’m so on about letting youths go on trips and letting
them try because you just don’t know what God will do and who will be
your next full time missionary. You really don’t know. Only God knows.
The first will be last and the last will be first. His eye is on the
sparrow.
