the IJ Mission Team has sculpted great memories for keeps for a lifetime. (: THANK GOD!

I cried buckets today; when the facil shared abt how God has blessed her with non-biological families while she does not have a wholesome one of her own, then one special person came to mind - "daddy" - 'cos he has always been there whenever I needed an angel to stand by me, for me or with me, regardless of time and place. above all, he's doted on me like, in my point of view, a father would. (: also during the meditation that followed, I thought of besties - on how they've entered my life, accepted me for who I am inside out and I've seen Christ in many little ways beaming through them. *YES, this is the part when I exploded into tears!* haha and I really couldnt stop! urgh. so embarrassing. (>.<) haha!

I've also learnt that IJ girls are "women of substance" and we're all born to love and try! (: such empowering notions should stay in my heart for as long as I live.

...IJ friends are friends for life!
