Today was the first session of service-learning..its part of a course conducted by touch youth services and the reason i'm involved in this course is due to my involvement as a mentor in a student leadership course at new town sec in nov...it was a valuable lesson on how learning is integrated during the process of serving others..how to facilitate discussion, reflection as well as to draw parallel comparisons with their daily lives...its indeed skills useful and comes in handy when conducting small group discussions...and its definitely very applicable in the upcoming events..sch camp, encounter weekend guide(unconfirmed), cambodia and christmas choir...it requires a lot of time and commitment for all these and i really do treasure all these opportunities to learn and serve at the same time...

that really brings me to the point of the current pace of my life...today during S-L, we learned that the pace of our lives is determined by our priorities in life which is in turn determined by our purpose in life...and indeed i reflected upon that...am i walking so fast in life that i neglected the so called 'outcasts' in our society? Why don't i have time to serve them? Am i focusing too much on my own progress in life that i've left them behind? It just narrows down to where i place my priorities in life...is it for others whom i serve or for myself? And even before i can finally decide what my priorities are, am i fully aware of my purpose in life? My purpose will ultimately decide where i put my priorities...

for the answers to life, i'm glad i've found the source and the answers i'll always rmb it well in the heart, as a reminder to the reason why i'm doing all these....
