This time last year ..

.. I never thought I would've met someone like this guy. Alright, just let me have this moment to be a little cheesy but express more of my gratitude. No, we're not official- but we have jumped into an adventure together. A journey that I never thought I'd anticipate on having any time soon. 

A lot can happen within a year and yeah, this is definitely a highlight. I thank God for him being that someone I can rely on and who I look up to as well. Even more so, I'm so thankful to have the big Man in the centre of this- we probably wouldn't have even met sooner if it wasn't for Him. Just goes to show that God is at work, especially when we don't see it. Maybe, just maybe I'll update more on this journey later. For now, this is all I'll say about it. 

Now that I can drive ...

... I have another way in which I can serve more

Finally, after two years of having my learner's licence, I have my provisional licence! Praise God, literally. So much prayer has gone towards me passing this test and thankfully I got it the first time. 

For those who are yet to get their red P's, here's a little food for thought. Why do you want to drive? Besides the convenience and 'freedom' to do anything at anytime, is there more that you can do through your driving? 

For me and my family, the only driver was my dad .. who works night shifts working from 6 (or 8)pm til 4-5am in the morning. He then has to pick up my mum at 7:30am from her night shift and occasionally takes my brother to school by 9:15am. Then in the afternoon he picks up my brother from school at 3:25pm This routine doesn't give much allowance of a full, undisturbed rest. That's what really motivated me to get my Ps. The fact that I do something so simple as driving, can make a huge impact on my dad's health and wellbeing. That's enough for me to be happy! 

As much as I am looking forward to road trips, spontaneous hangouts and starbucks runs, I'm more excited because I get to serve my family first and foremost in another way that isn't just kept at home. I can finally attend Wednesday prayer meetings and rekindle, refine my prayer life by praying for my church family rather than myself. I can create more bonding time with my brother by taking him out and encouraging him to explore and discover places. I get to share the load and responsibility with my dad. 

So I ask again, why do you want to drive? What can you do when you drive?
