Mentor

Last Saturday we had a gathering with our mentor from CUMP. She was MC.

She had many identities. Each identity I can learn a lot from. First. She was a academic and earned her doctoral degree for quite some time. She was of course a talent. But at the same time, what I could see was that she loved doing her academics and services. With that attitude, she paid so much attentions to her works.

She was also a nurturing mother. She knew what she had to do in different stages of her children. In the early days, she gave a lot of her life (really) to her growing kids. She brought him to the beach to face the breeze. She brought him to the mountain to allow him to breath. Now that the kids become teenagers and adult, she allow them to do whatever they want. It was a true respect.

She was a fighter to her life, in the end. She suffered so much at her prime time. Leaving so many regrets though, she was not making the disappointments into burdens. Instead, she tried to convert them into the motivations. She not just made it for herself. The motivations have become the fuels to generate energy for the others. She was the match to light up the lives of others.

Matthew 20:28 : Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
