Sports DTS: Our last photo together

Prayer and Intercession at a park for before a show


I'm running into the last leg of my stay here in Perth. It's been interesting
Ok, this is going to be some random thoughts...

My school's over, half my team went home. Saying goodbye's strange and a little hard.
Especially when the people leaving have been in your face, and close, for the last 6 months.
It's sad that we might never see each other again. But that's just me indulging in melancholy.

PAcking
I DREAD packing. Big random thought always looming.

Where? When?
Sigh...It's tough to try living a day at a time with some options flying over my head and trying not to plan. I should be home soon in April, then catch up with friends and seek some counsel, pray a little more. Get married and go to mission field. yeap..that's what i'll do...i told u..random thoughts

Church
Reading a really cool book called Organic Church. Been on a reading blitz and straddling 4 books now. ok. This is annoying. I bought 4 books in Koorong last week. One of them is entitled,"Date or Soulmate". My friends are making a big deal about it after i loaned it to another friend. I bought 3 other books!
2 of them are by Henri Nouwen, comtemplating celibacy, solitude, and prayer. No one's paying attention to those.
Anyway, pick up Organic church..really cool to rethink church and evangelism.


yes, start inviting me out for suppers and dinner, all you singaporean friends!! email me though, i got no mobile contract..

cheers mate

perth updates

hi everyone

sorry for the long absence. It's really hard to feel inspired to write in an internet cafe with the clock ticking down on me.

We're into a nice break now for these 2 days at least...going back to the YWAM base daily for session..we call it report back..it's closure for our school, one-on-ones with our leaders and talking about re entry into the "world". Going back to the base and meeting the YWAM family is always nice. It's a nice break from the tour we've been running. I'm now part of a small crew of 7 called the tear down crew. What we do is to take the stage down after each performance of the tour. It's physically exhausting and quite challenging for a mechanically challenged person like me. So that's what i'll be doing till april..But it's really cool to be part of such a big show..never have i ever dreamt that i'll be involved in a production so huge..giant stage, big lights and all for God..it's wonderful.

Yesterday i had a great time alone with God when our leaders told us to reflect on the past 6 months of DTS. I really took time to process and write stuff down about what i think God is doing. A few things stood out: 1. I came to learn about God, but He seemed to be telling me that I've got loads to learn about myself. 2. Faith in provision. I felt led to give to someone in Thailand and after obeying, i found a nice package from home, blessing me with just exactly double what i gave away. It's amazing! and the thought behind it was such a blessing! thanks guys!3. My role in missions: Messenger of Hope. To be a carrier of this message and bring hope to those who don't know.

Gotta go..

cheers
