Happenings

Holidays are God-given, I believe from the bottom of my heart.

I'm so sorry I've not been blogging recently, I really know it is quite irritating to go to a page and see the same post again.

Well, this week has been rather eventful, if I may say so myself.

Tuesday and Wednesday brought about an escapade (noun -- a reckless adventure; an escape from confinement or restraint) with Mom, Cheryl and Mom's two friends to our dear neighbour, Johor Baru, Malaysia to attend our church's annual Renewal Camp at Hyatt Hotel. Haha, I wouldn't call it a 'reckless adventure', so to speak, but it was seeing things in a whole new dimension. I mean, once you cross the causeway, it's a whole new dimension in itself, seeing different people in a different place other than Singapore. So near, but yet so different.

Though short, the trip was good, refreshing, and many thoughts got me preoccupied as Ps. Jane Lowder shared and spoke to the church. Not so much regarding the topics she talked about, but more about her life she lived thus far, being about 60 years of age.

And that got me thinking about my own life.

She talked about how she visited Egypt and loved it so much, how she prayed for people in the Philippines, what she did in Indonesia... Though she never emphasized on the miracles, signs, and wonders that took place, what captured me was the spirit of serving God.

Traveling around the world is awesome, but what tops it off is traveling around the world doing God's work.

And when I see people like Ps Preston, Ps Matt Fielder, Ps Paul Geerling and I read about people like Jackie Pullinger and Corrie ten Boom, all these servants of God, I look up to them as godly people who I admire. These people are the ones who let me see the larger-than-life God in them, and cause me to love God more than ever, and I wanna be like them, it's my heart's desire. It's like my last post, my heart just totally wishes I were in their postion.

And yesterday, we had the Amazing Race. It was Amazingly Fun, but Amazingly Tiring as well, and you know the feeling after you had an Amazingly Tiring day, when you get home, you would wanna do nothing else, throw everything aside, and just have an Amazingly Wonderful warm bath, and sleep in the Amazingly Comfortable bed.


That's what my heart's desire make me feel like doing, just throwing everything aside and serve Him and Him alone. Throw everything aside, and spend time with Him and Him alone. Throw everything aside and just listen to Him, be still and know that He is God.

And yet that small part of me knows I still need to take care of my ministries - family, church, studies.

But this reminds me that God's got it all under control:

Isaiah 52:12

But you will not leave in haste

or go in flight;

for the LORD will go before you,

the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
