This is going to be a great year for me

As a medic student, my life seem pretty relaxing since I still have spare time to involve myself in other activities like fellowship and church. Recently, I signed up as a volunteer for the house riding therapy lead by my church sister to help the disable kids to slowly recover or getting better from the illness that they are suffering from.

My lovely Saturday morning started off with my volunteer work's training at the outskirt which is 30minutes drive from town. Just to remind you if you didn't know, I'm anti-pets. But this is really an exceptional case since I have to build up the relationship with horse before ordering it. So surprisingly, horse become the first animal I have to approach and be friend. Imaging I was brushing, cleaning, feeding, leading and riding. What a big gap I had crossed!

We all get to ride on the horse like that, which is how our horse riding therapy is going to look like. One person leading the horse, two people walking at the sides protecting and the child will sit on the horse. =)

It was really an awesome first time experience with horses. While riding on the horse for the first time, I felt myself being swung slightly from side to side like a pendulum bulb as the back leg muscles of the horse moved. The first thing I did was to cast off my fear and try to relax by having more faith in the horse. Well, I just miraculously balanced myself on the horse's back like that.

Of course, we were trained to help the disable children and I had heard a lot of slight recovery resulted from this therapy. According to Kathleen, riding horse is like standing on a house with both your legs hanging straight down at the two sides of the horse. With that, it somehow brings alone the rider to move their legs according to the flow of motion of the horse walking. This really helps a lot in loosening the tight thigh muscle.

At the end of the morning session, I just smelled like a horse!

Anyway, we still managed to rush back home for our fellowship. We were so blessed to have one aunty from Taiwan to have a small sharing and bible study with us today. Somehow, through her, God revealed me more things. She said, I'm blessed with the gift of healing. The power of healing which is needed by this people I am with currently, to play out the role as a seed in this province. God has been continuously revealing me a lot of things within this two months and I really thank God for all that he had shown to me through people around me. Still, I will continue to pray for sharp ears and may God reveal me more things that I should know.

Another great news! I was cheering happily when I know that the aunty is going to have a revolution concert with the help from Taiwanese artist (like JJ, F.I.R. and etc.) in my place in December if everything works according to plan. Under my request, the aunty is going to help me to ask Fan Fan and Hei Ren to join in. That's so awesome! That will probably be my first concert if I'm able to join. I would be more than wiling to offer myself as the backstage helper. Haha.. Hopefully I get to know a korean who knows SNSD one day. XD

Greater things are yet to come
Greater things are still to be done in this city
