Someone once describe the concept of a GPS in a very interesting way. 

Imagine we were all drivers, driving to a particular location, yet we are unfamiliar on how to get there. And there the GPS helps us by directing us 

"after 100m, turn left" 

And then we followed. To some extend we always turn the wrong way, or when we realised we have taken the wrong move, we couldnt go back to the route that we are suppose to turn to. But yet the GPS will provide an alternative way of allowing us to get to the location, whether a longer route or not. Imagine there isnt a GPS, and we became very lost, not knowing which direction is the way to the location, and we start driving rounds and rounds and leads to no end. 

I thought I was very clear of my route, of my future and what I am going to become in the next 5 years. I was all excited for school to start, buying my schedule book, new clothes and even intending on buying a new school bag. But yet when a prominent sound signalled through my ears, telling me it is not the best route for me, then I realised I did not seek the One who ultimately knew best to where I am going in future. 

Then I became lost. I battled and I negotiated with myself. I didn't dare to ask God for a confirmation because I was full of fear. The fear of being lost. The fear of taking on the wrong route. Since young I always took the safest route, following the norm, fulfilling every expectations that have instilled in my life as a direction of where I am going. That was because I didn't have my GPS, the One who will ultimately bring me to my destination. To some people, it may seemed not to be the wisest choice to make, but I've declined my acceptance offer in RMIT, even though all the other locals have rejected me. I needed a gap year to think through, to prepare my hearts, to do whatever God wants me to do, that will eventually bring me to where I was meant to be in the future. 

"so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power"

1 corinthians 2:5

I am assured that God is with me. And I am very encouraged and amazed at how God is doing in my life. So many wonderful people supported me, encouraged me and offered me their help in researching on universities and job search that leads to where I am interested in. God indeed provides.
