LONELY, I'm MR LONELY

haha! I'm sure the Title has caught everybody's attention! And if you are expecting some 'juicy' information, haha, maybe next time!
Suddenly, this sense of loneliness start to dwell in me! Not an emptiness yearning for the other-half and neither is it becoz of lack of friends. It's the feeling that in the future, God may send me to somewhere for His work and it means leaving my comfort zone and m friends and to start afresh in a new environment, new culture..... In the past, when I went to Cambodia for Mission works, i was always full of enthuasism. Never have I once felt that sense of 'loneliness'. In fact, i was more happy and willingly to want to stay for longer period of time. I actually contemplated to stay for at least a month in Cambodia after my studies. That was a year back. But suddenly the thought of such plan, brought shivers to me. The thought of living alone(the only singaporean). The thought of away from home and friends. The thought of adjusting to the new environment and culture. The thought of having to find a purpose in the midst of such 'confusion'. What was i thinking? Was that thought just purely that instantaneous enthuasism which has died down now? Nope! I always have the passion for the Khmers. Then why am i feeling so uneasy? For a while, i have been thinking through and talking to God! And I start to realise it's a form of molding for me. I'm still not sure if God will call me into the Mission field in the future but if He does, I will be more ready and prepared to face with the reality of the changes. And most importantly, my security is in Him alone! May we have the same purpose in life and where You call us, we will follow You! Amen!
(p.s attached the song Lonely, I'm Mr lonely! Enjoy it! Though couldn't find the chipmunks version)
