Back in Brissy

It's a little strange being back in the city of harsh realities and much growth. God has trained me in this city to grow up, to grow in ministry, in character, in life responsibilities. I am very grateful. Yet, I do not exactly love this city and its memories. They hold much pain...

Can growth ever happen without pain?

I think it will be a long time before I grow nostalgic for Brisbane. For one, I'm still here...:P

Routine is slowly coming back. I mean life is quite alright, despite the fact that Sophia and I are still homeless. Doyin has provided us with temporary accomodation, thank God for that and for her generosity. Today, I want to specially thank Allister as well, for being so kind and so willing to drive Sophia and I around for inspections and business issues [like storage extensions etc].
Lord God, please do grant us a house ASAP....by next week.
And the gorgeous pineland's sushi we had....AH.that is one of the best things Brisbane offers...

Working, going to lifegroup, Church is tomorrow. :).....Meeting all my students again.It was good to have a break. I view them now with fresher enthusiasm and vision. Challenging them to set goals and enrich their lives.Hehehe.

Back in Doyin's house, throwing pillows at my dear sheep, Jess, trying to cook rice cakes.

It's a lot less stressful without uni. I can actually go to work and not be already tired and stressed by lectures and homework.

Taking things calmly.....a lot more calmly than 2 years ago....or even 1 year ago. God. There is a strange hesitance in my heart to open myself to anyone about what happened in the holidays. But Lead me and guide me God....I cannot go on without You.

Always think of what you doing is building towards the goals that you have defined and so you find joy in it. When you start thinking of things as routine, you will get dull and stagnant, then life becomes meaningless.

Love Alicia...but....

I've loved Alicia Keys since I was a teenager. She's gorgeous, talented, with an impeccable image of ghetto funkiness plus classy elegance. Love her voice and love her ideas. But....the lyrics....have more often than not been ...disappointing. I do think this article provides accurate critique of her work.

There is still a chance for the 71,849 single men

I opened my facebook profile and LO and BEHOLD, I saw a string of comments, wall comments and msgs in my inbox congratulating me about my 'not-single anymore status'. Why? Because I decided to remove the 'single' listing on my Facebook profile. I merely didn't want to post it up anymore. A whim that resulted in... HILARIOUSNESS! Here are a couple of samples: "Charis has been woozy since thursday, is it luvvve??" "huh? o_O? is there something i don't know??" "so when u going to belanja us all makan??? >. "heh.... really!?....there are 71,849 single men in brisbane who will be very dissapointed... very.." "is this for real .. if so, congrats charis :-)" "Hey great news to hear, Congrats loh! By the way who is the lucky Guy?" " Hey. No longer single? Share some news. ;) " Man o man!
