End Of The Selah, Start Of The Song

I return home tonight. They say home is where the heart is. But I feel that my heart has been spread so wide and so thin. Ten days away from home has helped somewhat. I've had loads of time to pray and read and meditate on the future. I've learnt a lot from the books by Rob Bell, the teachings by Rachel and Daniel at Revo, the giddy antics of Reggie Dabs and raw anointing on his testimony. Seeing hundreds of kids coming forward to give their lives to Jesus makes you wish you could somehow be part of that.

Maybe I didn't get the direction that I desired. But I know, I caught something here in Perth. Maybe its when the Holy Spirit crashed into me like a ton of bricks after Daniel prayed for me at Revolution. It was wave after wave of pure strong love. Its like God had punctuated the last sentence of the chapter. It was like the turning of the page.

I hope that me being here has touched some lives.

I hope I represented Agape to Eileen. The Love that expects nothing in return. No agenda, no ulterior motive. That she deserves better than what she's received so far. That she is beautiful no matter what the situation. Brokenness is a bad thing. But when out of it flows a song, it brings healing. Keep singing, nightingale...

I pray that Daniel keeps preaching and preaching the Word. So that all around him are built up in Faith by hearing and hearing. I pray for more opportunities for Kingdom talk.

I hope Kenny saw me giving 10 dollars to the homeless man outside Miss Maud's. I hope Kenny understands that it wasn't to shut the man's drunken babble and chase him away. But an excuse to touch him, overwhelm him and heal him with the presence of God and a prayer. This is bring the baptism of God to the world. You know. Like Jesus said. Bringing the Word to reality.

I haven't mentioned Cheryl who I can't believe only just turned 18. Jessica, the Bible freak, who manage to share deep revelations during lifegroup to end any chance of discussion and yet remain as ditsy as ever. Jonathan who is as funny as heck. Liane who taught me how to use the flash on the EOS 500D. Raymond who looks like he'll fit into the hardcore scene in Singapore but sings boyband songs during Karaoke. Petrina, who is always full of Grace and Beauty.

It is so nice to come to a place and belong. I may be going home. But I feel like I'm leaving home too. All of you made it worth it.
