My dream.

"It's often in the world, in the secular that we find God's purpose for our lives." -Kong Hee

"If you only look for the supernatural in the spectacular, you'll miss God." -Dr. Edwin Louis Cole

I loved today's sermon - we all need a paradigm shift. I feel like as the church progresses, I am also moving closer and closer to my dream. You know, ever since I decided to major in Social Work, I got more and more enchanted with it. The intricacies needed in working with people, navigating in the political context we live in etc. It's challenging but I love it. And I always feel like I am called to be a Social Worker (when I was once wavering over whether I should major in SW, one lecturer shared that being a social worker takes a calling), like it's what I'm made for. And I'm very, very thankful to God for it. It is very true that it's in the everyday things of life that we find God's purpose for our lives.

Recently, I was talking to a senior. I was reminded of the core competencies of a Social Worker:
#1. Promote social justice
#2. Mobilize resources for people in need
#3. Network

So it definitely strikes a chord in me when Pst shared about Moses who has a thing for social justice. Yep, I NEVER want to be a mediocre social work student, andI don't want be a mediocre social worker when I enter the field.

Dr. Sim once said something like.. "If as a social worker, you're not going to be a revolutionary, I don't know what you're going to be."

I want to be an outstanding social worker. One who can navigate successfully to mobilize resources for clients and promote social justice. I would also like to see more published research done in the local context.

Up and coming!
Watch out for the research article that Bec and I are going to embark on next year! Here we come! Destiny begins now!
