Friendship... Amiss

She did the discipleship evaluation pathchart...
Looking down the list on accountability friends...
She has them.
But they're all far.

It's been a year or so since it all happened now.
Her search for another heart-knowing still seems tough.

But her walk with the King has left many more footsteps.
Where all around seems distant and far...
When neighbouring voices tower over hers.
When those she confide wouldn't hesitate a bit to correct...
When those she hung around wouldn't hesitate to judge.

Her surroundings feel like dark mist.
No one apart from the King really understands.
At least, no one near.

And maybe it would be difficult to once again reconnect with those who are far.

Where is the next Jonathan who would stick with her through hard times?
Where is the next David who would cry liquid prayers with her?
Covenantal friendship... God loving accountability friend....


She yearns and longs for the friend who would walk this journey with her, who would understand the heart of the King... and who would walk through journeys together - her, the King and the friend.

Resounding Encouragements

Home studio revamping - 100% completed!
I am currently blogging from my new desktop. Very happy lady right now.
Time to get serious with multimedia productions.
Thanking God for all His providence. I feel like I'm being stretched this season.

Words from the prophetic presbytery resounds in my mind. Very encouraged.

Though I feel like writing more, words can't exactly describe the thoughts running through my mind this moment.

I've been talking to God. About things.
He's helping me to see some things.
I'm asking Him how to work some things...
He's showing me what He has already done.
I'm asking more about what He is going to do.

We're talking. And I remember the many years ago, our prayers yesterday makes us who we are today. What we see today, is a result of our yesterdays.

Life comes its way, but we embrace situations and not let circumstances master us. I got a God who is the King of all Kings. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He will turn this dry and desert land into a land flowing with milk and honey.

As for me right now, I know what's in the Promise Land. Ain't gonna settle for less.


For this season, these words constantly resounds in my mind.... 

".....the words, 'You are more than a conqueror really means something to you.'...."

"There's been those times when you've been frustrated, and that frustration has come out. And then you started beating up yourself - 'can't have that attitude, can't speak that way, can't think that way!' But this courage, and strength and this fighter within you is not just yourself. It's not a flesh thing. The Spirit of the Lord is truly upon you and He's on you for victory...."

"....You want to make sure that others get it, so that you know, it's what you're hearing from God, this is the 'now' word. It's not yesterday's word, it's not tomorrow's word. It is the now word. This is what we are to be doing NOW, this is what God is saying NOW, this is where we put our energies NOW. And out of that come spiritual activity......"

Staying plugged in to the vine.

Trying to go deeper... 

Deeper, leaving the surface.

"....And then lastly, God says you are special. Don’t give up on who you are. Make sure you reproduce yourself and others spiritually. And set them on fire for the sake of the Kingdom...."

"....I’ve called you to be one that will hear my voice and that would understand the purpose and would initiate the purpose. Don’t hold back says the Lord, even as I speak to your heart , launch forth and you shall see good success, says the Lord...."

Knots.

Lord I need your strength.

Happy Winter 2012!

Once again, it's time to embrace what the cool breeze carries. The time of the year I look forward to all the time. The privilege to snug beneath the warm duvet, a sleeping bag, a thick ski jacket... and hide away under the comfort of a jumper, hoodie or jacket... put on the boots and scarfs... fleece, and all else you can name for the enjoying the comfort of winter.

I'm up awake at one AM right now, on a nice rainy evening morning. Might be that cuppa "tingle my toes" from Pie Face doing its little bit of tingling... well, I'm happy, cuz I get to blog, which I haven't really done so in a long while.

What's been up, yo? Shannon's been down under the hood, doing some cooking with food, but it's not the usual look, probe more you might get the spoof! Um.. iight, let's skip on the rhymes tonight.

The year has almost sliced itself into halves! What have I been doing? Revamping my room and upgrading the tools for my media work, and since my laptop has decided to once again proof itself close to dead... I made the investment. Guess it's really a step of faith. I'm taking one step at a time, each step by faith. I'm praying God will calm and bring peace to those around me, and those who care for me and my future... because I know God has a good plan for me... and them. So, as I take these steps of faith at times, no doubt it might trouble and worry my loved ones, but I'm praying, God grow our faith. :)

And so, I should really sleep now. I had a great day, starting off at work rushing through the necessities before making my way to Mater Hospital for the MMRI Symposium... good lunch, nice freebies at the booths, and caught up with some other researchers I haven't met in a while. And... it's funny, cuz halfway through I was actually missing Teija, wishing she was there! :) Yes, Teija was my boss back at my old job. :)

Alright. Head to bed... after I present some photos, for myself and for your pleasure. (wanted to upload more, but there's a prob with blogger.. so i'mma sleep and try again next time. Night!)

Making dumplings with Fenny, Hideko, Set Yen and Xiao Li :)

Driving to Stanthorpe

The cutest Jerusalem donkeys I've ever met in my life. We connected instantly... and I miss these babies. 

Guess what? These donkeys have a cross on their backs!! :)
