It was a beautiful sharing at Vinzzz's place. But many points brought up were indeed worrying- well at least I felt it.

Deja Voo-E.... I tot last week's recent string of outings and gatherings really was like the "last burst of fire" for 2005. I admit- I also felt we should grab every opportunity to gather before the new term. I felt that when the new term started, we would not have so many chances to freely collide together and let all our hairs down.... But I have no fear that our fellowship will weaken with the coming of the new term or 2006. What we had in 2005 was special... but when was it ever that God's gifts were frameshots or set pieces in the entirety of time?

I hope to allay fears that with the start of the new term, we will not be as close as before. Friday's outing at JE swimming complex's wave pool is a good prelude of things to come, and how things are in life--- Choppy waters... waves after waves....trying to hold all the floats together.....joining up..

Yes, it did take a while for all of us to pile up together. It was nice, it was fun, it was comforting, it was wonderful, it was re-assuring/

However, it is exactly during times of being apart, of trials and tests will the strength of our bonds be tested and proven.


Why are we here in the first place? What are the nature of the bonds we have with each other? What are the kinds of bonds that God wants us to have? What does God want for us? What is it we have in common? What are the bonds for?

Sooner or later, with the passage of time, we will all grow up, relationships will change, -> but are our bonds with each other suppose to change?


I am one who's also been a patient treated for depression.
But that hasn't stopped me from believing in God's grace.

Believe it, the love that He fills your being with,
is enough to help you stand your ground when 18 stout men disagree with you.
It is more than enough, when you share a room with 60 other comrades and they all do not speak the same frequency.... and when they simply ignore you...

That kind of love.... it is so strong that it makes you want to live... it is so strong it makes you grateful of Him.... it is warm... from the inside out.... it makes you believe, you can reach out to anyone .......


Why am I so sure? Because I have tested it... because He allowed me to test this fact... I'm so grateful He didn't burn my backside for doing so.....


Asurey, hoping to serve The One thru serving Others.
All in One
One in All.
Amen.
