I'm back!
My trip to Adelaide was good. Finally, I have been able to revisit all my nostalgia and some of my buried pain. God has jump-started the process of healing in my heart again. Wafts and wafts of pain just rose and surfaced. To cry, to confront cynicism, to be told about His goodness and His deep deep love for me again and again. To be reminded of his affirmation and acceptance...
Tendayi, Sisi, Tasha, Jing and I had a great time. We wandered around the city at 'tourist' pace, annoying all the ppl walking behind us. We ate delectable pasta dishes at Passatempo.
We shopped for clothes and chocolate. Ate chocolate. Haigh's chocolate is trully fab! Anyone who orders from them[you can go online and get it mailed to your doorstep] should try the coffee beans covered with dark choc[YUM}. Try also the white chocolate block with strawberries in it!
We did some wine-blending in the Barossa Penfolds Vineyard. Made our very own mixtures of Grenache, Shiraz and the Mountevedre or something....:)....also bought a nice white wine to try.
I caught up with old friends Ivan and Ben. There was also Ps Brendan and Helen, Eddie, Trang, Andy, Anoushka, Keegan, Paul, Nick, Janice. Thank you all for lifts, accomodation,encouragement, prayer, Peking Duck[thanks janice!], chocolate soup, chocolate fondue[haha..thanks for bearing with my choc craze ivan], the walks, the talks...
I visited the Liberian lifegroup and was profoundly moved by their worship by the patience of the leaders involved with them.
I met new friends like Fiona, Xin Wei, Stephen, Xiao Qiang....
Too many things were going on....this is just a fragment ....
Best of all God blessed me with a new song of worship that I could bless the church with.....
I love you God.
