Raining Day

Today, I had probably the heaviest rain which I've encountered since I came here. Rain is unexceptional, rain is vital and rain can be beautiful, but travelling uncovered in the rain can be distasteful at times, especially during midnight bike trip home.

The number of people coming to Sunday service has obviously dwindled, is it because of the rain or because of the season of summer vacation. Oh how easy it is for our emotions, thinkings or wills to be affected or changed now and then. How weak are we, to be left at the mercy of incidental happenings in life?

No I do not want to be like the Israelites in the book of Judges, being blinded by the temporal influences and trapped in the cycles of worldly affairs.

2 Corinthians 12:10 (NIV)
That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

I am breaking away.. and I will come back stronger and focused, under the serene sky after the rain.

1/3 of course, done.
housing moving, done.
I miss rojak and special.
