Going back to Penang today...

Why do I feel like I've just accomplished a very meaningful mission trip/holiday?:)

Perhaps this is how a missionary would feel - after having seen God's purposes accomplished in one place. The burden, the ache, the dream to transform circumstances - by God's power and strength. The joy, the exhilaration, the satisfaction of having played his/her role and lived another part of his/her life to the fullest. The state of being humbled at what God has done, the state of being blessed, empowered, and passionate to do more. And more. And more. For Him. Thank You, Lord.

There were down moments... and I'm going to make more radical statements in the coming weeks... but otherwise, the grace of God was sufficient...and I'm full of excitement and faith to see the mountains He can move!

Anyway, today I had the most amazing brunch meet-up with Lydia. We edified one another in the Lord, and prayed together. Will remember this very first meet-up (after all these years) fondly for many years to come. Thanks, dear - for making my day so, so special. Feel like I've just caught the 'fire from the altar' again! You are beautiful and refreshing, girl. I pray that you will continue to minister the joy of the Lord to others, and walk according to God's perfect will. Love ya!:)

I can't wait to reach Penang and see my boyfriend this evening... Also, to meet Ee Ling tomorrow for breakie.

Grace(or should I call you Grace-melody?), each time I read your blog, I feel like I'm reading Psalms. As in, the obvious and radiant adoration David had for God, and how God is SO pleased with him.
I remember one time when I was visiting singapore, I was forced to go to on a mission trip Penang with my pastor because I'm not allowed to stay in Singapore for more than 90 days. This was in March, not so long ago. I went there with a fearful heart because of ED reasons...but in the end came back absolutely stunned by how God is working and accomplishing His plan and promises. From that day onwards, I finally started to gain weight for real. Coincidence? I think not...
