Loving restoration

Heh. Bday came and went, and felt esp loved this year with loads of smses and phonecalls. Thank you. :) I am blessed. Dinner with family was good, smiles across the table, and dad saving the sashimi for me. Unspoken words of love. Mum in good cheers chatting with me. As I also managed to show her the verses God had showed me.

Isaiah 49: 8-11 8 This is what the Lord says: "In the time of my favor I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you; I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances, 9 to say to the captives, 'Come out,' and to those in darkness, 'Be free!' "They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every barren hill. 10 They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat upon them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water. 11 I will turn all my mountains into roads, and my highways will be raised up.

They love me too much, and don't want me to suffer. As all parents love their children. And I am thankful. Glimpses of His loving grace. Esp as I saw mum preparing bible study for the whole morning. I know He will work in their hearts in His own way. Don't know when. Don't know how. But I know He is faithful and His timing is always right.

Dinner today with 2 other dear frens again to celebrate bday. heh. Received some nice gifts. Enjoyed sitting by the river at clark quay again. As I narrated some experiences on my trip, realised I haven't been sharing much yet! And these experiences are really faith builders. Hope definitely to have the opportunities again and again to visit developing ctries, to see the work of God in ple's hearts, and most of all in my own heart. Pray for oppty to share with my dear friends, hopefully to edify and to speak of God's love.

In the midst of uncertainty, this definitely feels like a new episode in my life. As I get in touched once again with lost friends, and the passion for youths is rekindled. My faith in God is strengthened. Thru the trip, I have received answers to questions I've been asking Him for a long time. And ya...it seems like healing has taken place. And yes...time to step up, to serve and share once again.
