What inspires..what's to come?

I'm still not there yet..that's what i told myself. All my life, (well since teen year) i wanted so much to be out on the mission field serving God. Being a missionary, going unreach people, serving in church..reaching out to the youth. Those were then my biggest dream and passion, don't get me wrong it still now..but there's a twist to it now....

I've always been asked, "so why do you choose to be in this course?" What inspires you to learn cooking? well let me fill you in from the beginning. To start with i'm not the study type, my results as a primary and secondary student are not very promising..neither do i have any interest any of the common fields like business, doc and so on..during that frame of life, my interest was to enroll myself in a bible college and come out a missionary or yotuh pastor. So what prompted me to enroll in a hotel school in the end?

When i finished my SPM, i sign up for a one month christian school called jeremiah school, there i learn how to search what i want to do and what God wants me to do after this, at them same time i already have "chef" in mind...inspired by my dad's ability to cook,but celebrity chef jamie oliver..but it didn't took me 1 month to decide, it took me 4 months. When i completed JS and proceeded to National service in march. seeking God for a way, and i felt that it would be good to enroll in a college and take on Hotel management, main objective was to be a chef..or cook..

I was very excited when i started class after 6 months of break, i enjoyed classes especially kitchen classes. Indulging in the ocean of knowledge, skills and techniques of preparing a dish. I could vividly see myself becoming well known one day. But that was yet to come...as time passes, and eventually sitting down to think "how would what i'm doing now link to my biggest dream of being in the mission field?" I've heard many sermons on mission fields, that where ever you work that is your mission field, but i don't find that fulfilling nor enlightening. I sometimes question God, "Lord how do i link this to your work?"

I've had thought and ideas. Maybe i could be a missionary chef, of used my skills, food and whatever ability i have to reach out to people. I don't know how would it happen nor do i know whether it would work out. Then i remember an old saying " Whatever the Lord has started in you, He will bring it to completion" Though my vision is not that clear, i will trust in Him. I wanna touch lives with my cooking, food and the passion of Christ..there's a saying..food is universal, so if food truly is universal then what does it made the creator of all living things?

The ONE joy a chef could ever have is to see a smile of the faces of those who eats his creation.
