Such a beautiful night. I went out to stand on Kel’s 2nd floor balcony. I wanted to soak in the weather… the cool breeze on my face. Blowing through my hair. Seeping through my thermal wear to my skin. A cool wind. A chilly wind. I started to shiver.

I went down to retrieve my jacket and came back up. I stood there and soaked it in again. The white and orange dotted lights all around the house. A car went zooming by. I couldn’t see it, but the dispersion of its headlights told me exactly where it was. The wind was blowing like crazy. I could hardly keep my hood on.

God, are you in the wind? Can I hear your whispers?

God, bless this country. Bless the Christians in this country. Bless this land. Bless one50. Keep Dani healthy. Drive Kel and Kel and give them renewal in you and an energy to keep going, pulling youths together and inspiring them. I thought about Bek’s family… I thought about my walk down the beach and how I met Kevin... I thought about Lulu and how encouraging she was at D team…

As these thoughts race through my head, this song plays in my head.

And den I thought about how it must be to be God of this earth. The flatness of Adelaide further emphasized just how big the earth really was. I think about how many people there must be living out around Kel’s balcony. A few ppl for each orange and white light I saw. So many ppl… like the stars in the sky… And all of them made in the image of God? Wow, God, what a wonderful planet you had made and had intended to be. I looked up at the dark purple sky… I wonder how big God’s palm must be to hold it in His hands. I want to know Him more. I crave for His word. To know all that is in the Bible.

I rush down to pack my stuff and bring my laptop up so that I could do my QT out in darkness, in the roaring wind. I stepped out. A huge of drop of water lands on my face. Aww, raining, I tried to brave it. I sat down for 5 seconds. But I had to protect my com. So now I’m back in the living room.

Today, i danced before the Lord with all my might. I did my last every dance performance with the team and it was intense. I danced so hard, i felt sick straight after that. My chest was in pain, i coughed so hard and i could hardly breathe for about a minute. I took a video of it. Can't wait to watch it and show you guys too.=)

I'm coming back. And i'm scared. Not much is going my way for my dance ministry back home. I'm lacking dancers. I've been rejected for my application for leave of absence not just for the Mission Trip but PlayMAX. Am i really up to this Lord? Did you really call me? I heard you Lord. I'm so sure I did. So why the many obstacles? And there are just gonna be more obstacles in the future aren't there, Lord? I'm not sure i can take it, mate...

"You gotta have a conviction. And then, you gotta keep running." Kel. B said to me. (James 1: 3 - 8)

"It's easy to have a cop-out. We could have gave up on one50 so many times."Kel. R said to me. Look at where one50 is now. (And yes, the directors of one50 have the same first name)

So, I’m coming back. And i'm gonna run run run until I finish. I will work till I’m weary. I can rest when I die. =) (those are lyrics to a song btw, it sounds way less emo-kid in the song, LOVE IT)

See ya soon guys! (Sherlyn, we must train for our 10k run soon. Coz i wanna run a physical 'marathon' while i run my spiritual marathon too!)
