When I was hunting for signatures for the petition to repeal section 377a in school last friday, I chanced upon 2 other persons who were doing the same. One was a straight guy who was doing this because he firmly believed there is an inherent injustice in that law. I bumped into him because I was looking for a transsexual friend who was in his class to sign the petition. The other was a classmate who did not attend class earlier that day due to oversleeping. Now I knew she was a supporter so I was disappointed she was not in class when I stood up at the beginning of lecture and with the lecturer's permission, asked the whole class for support. Of course, no one came to sign voluntarily. It must have been God's will that I bumped into her in the library later that day! Because as it turned out, she did not manage to print out the petition and thus could not gather any signatures on her own. She promptly took my copies and zapped many many sheets. She and her sister managed to collect more than a 100 signatures in a single day! Now a school magazine wants to do a story on us. This is great publicity!

I've been made to wonder how I have come to be what I am today. I have always excelled at math and science while growing up... always thought I'd be doing some engineering or science course in uni. Then there was the time I thought I'd pursue a higher education in music. But lo and behold, I'm doing social science which I totally flopped in JC! I have kind of an inhibited personality, always thought I'd end up working with objects or at a desk. But look now.... doing social work and activism! God works in mysterious ways.... today at cell bible study, we were discussing about priorities in life and where does God rank in our lives and where SHOULD He rank in our lives. Number 1 of course! He should come first in everything I do. And how apt it is that a friend of mine told me recently that God probably places us in positions to do things we never thought we'd be good at doing so that ALL credit and glory goes directly to Him since we know for sure we could never have done these things on our own.

In His time, He makes all things beautiful in His time.
