10 years back (or just one)

10 years back (1 year back)
14 September 2009

Last night I was at Hillsong London celebrating their 10th year as a church in London.
I thought of where I was 10 years ago. 19 and still rather ignorant; and in a very different place as to where I am now… I hadn’t even started serving God as a youth pastor back then, yet God had planted something (His call) deep in my heart back then already.

In 10 years, I have seen a lot, experienced a lot. And I am mostly confident to say I have done my best, lived well in most avenues of my life. And truth is I have learnt a lot. Yet in many places I am still in a classroom of life. But to have done these last 10 years with God has been so worth it.

I do too have a smaller time frame that I use to ponder and reflect where I currently am in my life. I look back a year. Where was I a year ago? What was I thinking about? Did I know I would be where I am now a year ago? Doing this exercise has helped me appreciate where I am and where I have been… and just gives me a sense of being on a great adventure with God.
God, thank you for all you have done in my life and the blessings you have poured out on this sinful (yet forgiven) soul.
