The Way Ahead
...Not all that complicated, after all.
Loving God, loving your neighbour. Protecting the fellowship of the believers, taking your place in the line. Working out the heart knots by walking into the big empty room where dad and all that is connected to him is supposed to be.
Teach me, Lord... what it means to be a man, and a man of God.
In the meantime:
1. Have been starting to get lazy in my post, im sooo not there yet... but how easily we forget when we're in church and young kids give you the thumbs up. But its not my best, so how can I call it worship? somethings gotta change.
Signed up for a new round of yamaha bass classes with a little prayer and, oh my, God is good :) ...found that the teacher available on the few slots im not at home or in church would be none other than Bassman Bong(!), imho, one of the 3 best local bassists in the country... the others being Johnathan Sim n Joshua Wan. Would have liked to continue with JS, but with work, location n timing is a bit off.
2. Preparing to burn most of my leave for overseas worship and visiting mum... would have been nice to go for the Hillsongs Conference, but i think its time to give.
Its been ages since those days of out of time root notes played to worship CDs... outreach n social life killed some of it... shall go back to my thick stringed harp. To Hear Your Voice again.
3. Dad. Walking into my life again, after so long.
This sunday... well, we initiated it, but where will this go? What is in store? Whats up, God? How do I react to this?
4. Family.
Its all intertwined.. to hear whats been going on on my dad's side of the family... ouch. Disturbing to say the least.
And im his stock.
Surreal, but between Dad, dad, and the lost half of the family, this may hold a big piece of the key to my very existence.
The years of struggle, the forming of character, for better or worse, the lessons learnt. The triggers.
5. As a backdrop to all this, I think its time to prayerfully go vertical for a season. Its been a blessed year, deep heart surgery going on.
Life is almost playing out like a movie :)
God, all yours to direct, produce. You know me, and You know best Lord. As I wait, speak for Your servant is listening.
My solace...
...in the end, we win.
Revelation 21:1-4
1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
Help us to overcome, Lord.
