Reasons To Leave....

Tuesday, September 08, 2009 ·

Sometimes, I make decisions which can shock people. Or at least cause some eyebrows to be raised. I won't say that God made me this way because it wouldn't do God justice. As if He did something wrong. No. I would say He is still forming me. I don't intend to offend. I would apologise if that helps.

But it doesn't. In fact, I am not sorry.

Joshua came back from the UK to have a wedding reception for his friends in Singapore. I had the privilege of meeting his wife, Hannah. I can't believe I told Michelle that she wasn't pretty. I think I was in some sort of denial. It took just 5 seconds for me to realise that I was sincerely wrong. Joshua found someone that exuded beauty both inside and out.

That man inspires me like music... or poetry. I really loved the conversations that we had, as short as they were. I love the selfless belief. The faith in the Gift that God has placed in me. It takes an extremely Godly man to 'consider others better than yourselves'. (Philippians 2:3)
It was like a change of batteries. A jolt back into the reality of God's purpose for me. Suddenly, I have been feeling like I have to get away from this place. To escape to a place where I can breathe. Where I last felt alive.

I am going to Australia.

This is a new story. About dropping everything for what is important. Friendship, Faith and the fun of finding out whether it is possible to actually walk on eggshells. This is about the changing of mindsets, the renewing of convenants and the discovering of new direction.

This is not an apology...
This is me speaking Life into my purpose. This is me calling Light into my vision.

Maybe you might not understand.

I don't blame you.
