Reflect on what the Holy Spirit has done for you to chart your path ahead

How time flies, it seemed like yesterday that my dad, brother and bernie was here with us. It was such an incredible time that it's still etched in my memory. Since then, life has been "Bang Bang!", on the "Go Go Go...". Now, it's coming to the end of May.

Looking back, much has changed. We managed to put in an offer for a place we really liked, though we tried to negotiate for a better price, the sellers were not willing to budge much, in the end we settled close to their asking price. No regrets though, it's a nice place in a quiet neighbourhood, so we're happy! :) Praying hard that our loan application will be smooth and easy.

Just before we embarked on our house viewings which would lead to the successful agreement on the price of our future home, Auntie broke the news to us that she would need us to vacate our present place by September this year. Indeed, God's providence is so timely.

Today being the feast of the Pentecost, I was enlightened by what was said by the visiting priest at the Church of St John and Paul. It kind of changed my perspective of my understanding of the guidance of the Holy Spirit. All along, I always prayed that the Holy Spirit would guide us in our decisions, in our daily living and in our actions. Not that it's wrong, but I never seem to be able to be aware that the Holy Spirit is guiding me every step of the way.

This new perspective that I hear re-enforces the concept of the Holy Spirit's guidance in our lives but instead of being aware of His presence working in our daily lives at the present, our reflection of what the Holy Spirit has done for us helps us chart our path ahead such that the sign post that He has been showing us along the way points towards where He wants to lead us. It all makes sense to me in this context how do we discern the Holy Spirit's guide in our lives.

Now as I reflect on the events that has happened the past few months, I'm beginning to wonder if God is leading me to the field of acadamia. It seems frightening but I will continue to reflect on His perfect call for me. Be with me Lord as I contemplate on your workings in my life to progress ahead in the right path.
