happy.
its been a long week of late nights and happy is the last thing i should feel. but i'm bubbling as music plays and i jump around the house while mexx looks on at me strangely as he tries to figure out if i'm playing a new kind of game with him.
here's that something so wonderfully liberating about worship - all things fade away into the background as you turn your eyes onto Jesus.
With so many things happening (or not happening also for that matter, ha) there are the moments that i have wondered why o why in the world I'm back in Perth. I miss home, I miss my CG, I miss my church and I miss my friends back in Singapore.
Life seems better, somehow.
But I'm reminded by Paul and as the Message Bible in Philippians 3 succinctly puts it - 'I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward - to Jesus. I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back.'
Home's here for now, with an indefinite time. And I'm sure its not that bad afterall
I still hold onto the promises of Luke 5:4-7 given to me when I asked for it back in Singapore - the assurance and hope runs deep even when i feel discouraged with whatever happens around me. Faith know Jesus is in control, even as i am asked to return to a place that had nothing for me when i first left, not really knowing the adventure ahead. Faith knows that He has promised a catch even before I can even see or hear. Faith believes that He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly according to the power that works in me and He will bring forth a catch that will be more than i can even hope for or imagine.
He is faithful and all i can do is follow.
i walked into Tecman a few days before leaving for Perth I saw this:
how wonderful that He always knows we need to be reminded that He with us sympathizing with my weakness and that His strength is made perfect in my weakness -

Cast your net with all the might of your faith
into the waters of His will
Send it deep into the sea of His promises
the waters of His abundance
into the depths of His supply
As you do, you will gather -
more wonders than you have ever seen,
more surprises than you can ever imagine,
more blessings than you can ever hold.
how wonderful that He always knows we need to be reminded that He with us sympathizing with my weakness and that His strength is made perfect in my weakness -
all because His grace is sufficient for me. :)
