22 April 2016 Midnight

Just this morning, I had to write about the waiting I have accepted to endure in the next coming days. It was triggered by a waiting-in-agony as I will terribly miss the lifegroup prolonging my passion to see them. I have come to love them so much. I cannot tell in one blogging all the memories I have shared with them and the trust, love, and messages they have given me.

Tonight was just incredible. I messaged our HR asking for one last update before the day ends and before weekend comes.

To make it short, the HR gave me favor to give my passport despite the lack of cancellation stamp and soon I am meeting her near the flat to hand over my document. That all happened in span of 30 minutes.

That was sudden that meeting the lifegroup for sendoff happened tonight. I held my emotions tightly. We ate as usual and Iya had to open a little program where they had to say something about me, then gave me message that touched my heart. I could have recorded their messages, but as told, like the movie in Secret Life of Walter Mitty, 'beautiful things don't seek attention'. Their messages warmed my heart that I will treasure as long as I live. Their comments humble me as I give glory to God who has given me every good thing I have become. The release with love and approval gave me, all the more, peace I have been feeling in the past days.

I wish I could bring them with me, but the pain I am feeling cannot compare to the joy that's coming. That's the joy of waiting upon the coming of the Lord, the joy of what He has taught me, the joy of knowing and experiencing the blessing of these people in my life despite our short but sweet memories. I plead that may our individual relationship with Christ continues until He comes. That's the best thing I could ask for the group. I am still overwhelmed by each one's had to say about me, matter-of-factly shock to praises and gifts that I have received. 

What an incredible journey. I give all praises, glory, honor that only our God deserves.
