Beyond the Blues

Post M writing came the blues. The blues that kept her from penning down the whirlpool of thoughts that were sinking and twirling in the endless pit. She picked herself up and out, by once again remember the advice she gained about two years ago. The true meaning of agape, and then to be honest with oneself.

Doing my body justice, I promise to write within 15 minutes, so as to get ample rest for a new work day tomorrow.

Beyond the blues, life indeed has been hectic. Leading up to her trip back home, she was running on gear six, turbo charged engine to complete the many tasks on her plate... and at the same time juggling the turmoil of emotions within her that were arising from certain things that caused her so much pain. Didn't help to reduce the oxidation potential at all. Looking back, it was only the grace of God that enabled her. Liking this to the different fuel types provided at the petrol station, maybe God's grace was many grades higher than the V-Power fuel supplied by Shell Petrol.

In the midst of all that, she managed to churn out a new year's first production. A pilot of such a production, and also an encouraging experience, just with the King. Once again, taking steps back into the purposes called of her.

Here goes, my latest production:



And.. the long awaited... Chinese New Year!


With two other travelers-in-crime, I went home for a short trip. Good family time... and met up with Alvin and Jace too.

Time was short, but felt like every moment was well spent. No photos of my sister!! Oops.. heehee.

Parents and Grandma :)

Our family and uncle's family. :)

The Princess is now back in wet and rainy Brisbane, and today is the 10th day of the Chinese New Year. Life is starting to pick up pace again. For all that has once been spoken forth about her, she's about to step in to embrace it. It's really scary not knowing what will come. It's fearful, making decisions to honour the King, and risk losing what she really holds dear. But the King has time and again reassured and encouraged her of His Presence with her in this journey. And the King only has good for her.

Yesterday, Monday, was good. In the King's presence during worship at a WAM Theology in Worship workshop, she found herself re-capturing the season in her life that the King touched her the most, and led her to Him. She thought back to the day she received Him into her life, and the life transforming years He's brought her through... and the foundations that He's laid for her.. and the call in her life.

She does not desire many things in her life. But time and again, there are certain things that she wrestles with the King about. And He knows her, and He has even verbally promised her, through the prophetic presbytery and through many affirmations. She walks this journey, growing in faith, and making daily choices... so that she won't look back and find herself having lost too many moments grappling onto the things of this world that has no eternal value... as much as she wants them.

"...I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

- Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV)

To seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness... and trust that He would provide the rest.

She loves comfort, but shouldn't get too comfortable... because the greatest comfort she can have is from Him who gives Comfort, and the presents that come along with it.

The pages of the book continue to write since the gloomy last chapter. This chapter reveals the warmth in her heart arising from her recent gift from the catalyst. She is as noob as anyone else in the league but that's okay, because the King would paint it for her.

With that, she ends with a thank you to the Giver of Gifts and prepares to enter dream land.

....and this entry eventually didn't take 15 minutes.. but 50 minutes.
