Dozen is This Year's Number

12 years in the making of an adventure that is yet to end...

Even as I do this every year, I cannot help but to find awe to the fact that it has been 12 years now being away from home and dwell in this foreign land. Although after 12 years in, it is no longer foreign to me anymore.

I am looking back and find what is familiar and normal today as what is around me and thinking about back home would now seem rather novel and a distant memory. I don't want to be saying things like I am glad for the life and experience that I have gotten for the past 12 years, which would sound rather cliche, but I do see and appreciate all of it; form the joy and the pain.

At the end of 12 years, I am now coming to a close to my formative training and about to begin a new chapter of my life in ministry. Even though it has started many years back but it feels like a full completion to something new to happen. I am not moving geographically but somehow it gives a new experience to what is and has been.

I am now thinking about the faces that have impacted me significantly in this land. I am now feeling privilege for the participation of people's lives.
