The aftermath and the saga continues...

Don’t we all worry of hair loss? Its interesting that I had a conversation with one of my colleague today and I was sitting in very near proximity to him when I cant help but notice his balding head or should I say extensive hair loss situation.

I cant really concentrate on what I was saying because half the time my eyes were fixed on his head…Its like one of those comical moment in ally mcbeal where I suddenly go into a world of my own... I imagine myself planting new hair roots to his head to allow new hair to grow like a farmer sowing his seeds when I was snapped back to reality...

I mean no offence to bald people or any sort but I have to admit I will never be caught dead entering one of those hair tonic centre like the infamous Yun Nam Jian Fa Zhong Xin.. I mean lets face it; balding is part and parcel of life we will bald naturally as we progress on to the later stages of life but I am still in the prime of my youth, and my hair is still very much important to me and I must start to take care of it and treat it right.

I have been doing some thinking today regarding my universities offer and I would want to rephrase some of the stuff I said yesterday. Even if I do choose to stay it’s not all just about serving on the worship team.

I see this whole situation in its big picture. I sense that the Lord is trying to hint to me this is not the right time for me to go aboard. One thing that I am certain about is that I want to do law and even if I have to complete my LLB overseas I would go with full confidence as I know this is my dream. That leaves me to just one last decision, which university to go to? I have been made offers from both the Aussie and UK unis… I have to think carefully where I should go.

This is a lifetime decision and shouldn’t be taken lightly. I want to go to a university that allow me to excel, enjoy and learn from knowing well that the Lord's blessings are upon me compared to one that simply provides me with the best offer. A scholarship is a gift and blessing and I am not saying I should discount it from making my final decisions, but the more important question is which university am I most comfortable with taking away all other considerations?

I sense that the Lord’s timing is the most perfect for me and as I reflect back I realised that the last few weeks has been a mad rush or so. Liverpool decided to grant me a scholarship, I have to make up my mind whether to accept the offer, I have to apply for disruption from army, I have to apply for my student visa before end of the month to avoid the fees raise, I need to clear my leave, I have to start planning and buying my laptop books and all other essential items, I have to buy my air tickets by next month, attend the pre departure talk 2 weeks from now…Everything is a mad rush! I feel that I am arm twisted to make a decision which I dont feel too comfotable about.

I have all along been planning on going to Australia and the only reason why I applied to UK is to explore the options available to me. I have to seek the Lord to give me an answer whether am I prepared to leave for my studies this September...

I leave you with this statement extracted from my daily online devotional:

‘We learn in Joshua 23:9, 10 that nothing can stand before the person who will dare to trust God. Everything is in the favor of those who trust Him. With God on their side, total victory is assured.’
