Keep bleeding love

I'm taking a break from packing. So tired.It hurts my back.

I had a ball of a time yesterday. My first Christmas in Australia. I missed my family a lot, because I've never been away for Christmas in my life. But this time, I decided to give it a try as it would probably be the last year I get to celebrate it in Brisbane.

It would have been heaps boring. But thanks to Rachelle, it was a lot of fun. Rach kindly invited my housemates and I to join her family Christmas celebration at the Sunshine Coast. The weather was absolutely great! Sunny, cool, breezy, and the sea water was at the BEST temperature for swimming. Aunty prepared HEAPS of food. Prawns, chicken, turkey, oysters, puncit, fruit and cream, steak and pork chops. We swam and napped and ate and swam and ate and napped. You get the idea. Puji, Alex, Julie and JB were there as well. It made the day ... interesting.

We ended the day with a party at Neru's new house. Kev cooked great lasagna and curry chicken. Neru made noodles and choc spiders. Yum. I love my Eurekan family. It feels like I've been there for ages. Rach agrees, because she actually thought I'd been in Eureka for 2 years. [I've only been in Eureka since February]

But back to bleeding love. As I'm packing, the reality of leaving is hitting me hard. But I'm doing this because I love God and I love people. It will be the best for myself, for everyone around me, and for the future people that I will meet that I leave at this point of time. Uprooting is never easy. My heart bleeds. But hopefully, it is not bleeding resentment and bitterness and sadness. Instead, it should just bleed love. More and more. Much better than being numb.

Friends in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Newcastle, Hobart, Gold Coast. Love you all.

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.

More Faith....in a GOOD GOD

Today, Miss '爆炸头' - a.k.a Winnie, a chick with a HUGE afro-ish Scary Spice hair-do prayed for me. She doesn't know me, but turned around after service and offered to pray for me. A few things came up during the prayer. She didn't specifically prophesy. But the way she was praying, she was getting stuff from the Spirit. She prayed Prov 4:18 ( The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day)  over me, for some time, stating that God would lead me, and the path would become brighter and brighter, clearer and clearer. I was to have faith. More faith that God would lead me safely and surely. She also stated the need to seek God even more through prayer for his presence and guidance (guilty. It's been difficult to be disciplined about prayer). She prayed and declared that my work would be the platform for many good things God wanted to do through me. The work and the position I had in my work was important, she...
