SEASON 3 EPISODE 24: EPILOGUE

This epilogue is written on the final full day in London. I will be booking out of my hall tomorrow morning at about 7am to head for the LCF Summer Term Prayer Breakfast en route to Heathrow Terminal 4.

I have been spending the past few days packing, preparing to get my cartons taken away and meeting up with a couple of people. I have also been asked to lead worship at Sanctuary later tonight and have been preparing for that. It is a privilege and honour to be able to lead God's people into His presence.

Before all this, I have a lunch appointment to go to, to check-in online for my flight tomorrow and buying a gift for a friend. Indeed, it has all come down to this final day wherein I will bid farewell to this place I called home for the past 10 months and 12.5 hours later, I will be back in my home country to be greeted and welcomed by my family.

So, as mentioned in Episode 24, I will write a reflective entry to round up Season 3 and these will be my reflections:

I came to London in September 2007 without the faintest idea of what I will be expecting apart from doing the LPC. I knew I had to also look at training contract applications and spent the entire duration of the course doing that too.

To top it all, I was also involved in Christian service at All Souls Church during my SWOT days and a musician. I also got to know the Lawyers' Christian Fellowship to which I have made some good Christian friends. Lastly, there was Sanctuary at Methodist Central Hall where I served as a musician/singer. All these exposure and experiences have helped me shape my character, moulded my own perspective on being a Chrisitian lawyer and most importantly, created a growing desire for a deeper knowledge of the Christian faith. I believe my ministry is not confined to just music, but also that of preaching.

Indeed, this is THE one thing I want to thank the LORD for - even though I may not have secured any training contract. I would not have gotten all these experiences if I elected to stay in Singapore.

The LORD has also provided a one-time opportunity to gain some work experience in a London law firm for 3 weeks and to earn some extra money - that literally being, my first fruits! I set aside 10% of this amount to be given in gratitude to God for this provisions.

Indeed, this is a day of thanksgiving for all He has done in my entire time here in London. I will definitely miss this wonderful place and the people who have crossed my path. As I head back to Singapore tomorrow afternoon, I go back to be with my family and friends and wait upon the LORD.

The journey hence continues and I pray that I will be in tune with the LORD to discern the next mission. This could range from settling the affairs of the heart to providing a job opportunity back here. When He calls, I will obey and respond- even if it does not follow what my heart humanly desires.

So, just like a James Bond movie where the opening scenes usually show 007 completing a previsou mission before heading back to MI6 to receive his next mission from M.

The same goes for me. Season 3 concludes and I return to Singapore to receive my next mission.

SOLI DEO GLORIA!
