Dance with my Father...

When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.

I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.

When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.

The movement doesn't flow with the music,

and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.

When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,

both bodies begin to flow with the music.

One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.

It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.

The dance takes surrender, willingness,

and attentiveness from one person

and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.

When I saw "G: I thought of God, followed by "U" and "I".

"God, "U" and "I" dance."

God, you, and I dance.

As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust

that I would get guidance about my life.

Once again, I became willing to let God lead.

My prayer for you today is that God's blessings

and mercies be upon you on this day and everyday.

May you abide in God as God abides in you.

Dance together with God, trusting God to lead

and to guide you through each season of your life.

I started the day off at 12am with someone calling
and wishing me happy birthday;) 1st person to call.

Then I missed a few calls cause everyone was calling
at the same time.

Thank YOU for being the person that you are.
Ever so admirable and gentle.
Thank You for 'Charcoal', it doesn't look like me!
Thank You for making my feet happy, they are still delirious!
and so is my entire being.
Thank you for coming during working hours and leaving me a card.
Thank YOu all for coming together and ending my day with a blast.
Nothing's more precious to me than hard to come by friends like YOU.
Thank YOU for being the best family that i can ever have.
I won't trade you guys for anything.
Thank you for calling and smsing,every single one of you.
Thank you to every single person who made a difference in my life.
Thank you for making me feel ever so appreciated.
I feel so blessed and i cherish each person who remembered.
Thank you.

I turned 23 today.
I am happier and more at peace than what i was a few months before.
Yet, i know.
There's a time for everything.
Still so many things to learn.
So many things waiting for me to pick up, to settle,
to do, to decide.

Daddy God,
Hold my hand as i walk through this journey of life.
Never will i want to disobey You.
Never will i want to displease You.
I was created in Your image.
Forgive me when i have sinned and brought shame to Your name.
Thank You that You are God and I am not.
Therefore, l lay my life down at Your feet.
23 years of my life i lay before You.
If ever i've wasted any moment of these 23 years
doing nonsense, I pray for YOur forgiveness.
Show me YOur ways, Abba Father.
TO live my life to the fullest,maximise the potential in me,
according to Your purposes and destiny for my life.
Your will be done and not mine.
For the perfect job, perfect ministry, perfect life partner...
These 3 things I look forward to, and i place in Your hands.
I say, Have Your way, O God...
Be it unto me according to Your will and Your Master plan...
Most of all, I am Your servant.
Each time You call, I won't refuse and I won't delay.
Teach my heart to be quick to obey.
To heed Your voice and come when You call.
It is all meaningless if I do not have You in my life.
Be in my life, Daddy...
Every single area and every single part.
Be the Lord of my life..
Be the Love of my life..
I love You
and I fall in love with You even more so everyday.Amen.

Enjoy the rain

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Sometimes..

That sounds like a line from a song...
oh wait a minute, yeah it is...

I'm now a 7 month old graduate..
I still feel so unprepared,
Not ready

I feel like i've been caught up in a whirlwind
Ever since i graduated

Issues that never seems to stop coming
like the way the waves keep crashing onto the shore

Like the way I keep fighting
and have no rest

Working world, Family, friends,relationship,
health, reality
Did you know reality bites?

Maybe there are lessons to be learnt
In every single turn
In every single pivot
In every single turning point
There's always something hidden
A secret waiting to unfold
A heartbeat waiting to be heard
A love yet to be discovered

So much more that my heart needs to bear
A burden that I can only carry thus far
It is time to lay down my life
Surrender all
But do i really know what it means?
To give my all?

I still find it so hard
Battling those feelings
time and again

Seeking the peace
that is so hard to come by
Teach my heart O God
to find rest in You
