Held

Haven’t been writing much here, not about my summer, nor about my life the past week and a half back here in London.

Well in summary, my summer was challenging but one full of blessings too: may and daddy’s birthday; june and ipoh, kl, doulos, thailand, klang, shiying’s birthday; july and leaders’ retreat, work, home, digital life, leaders retreat, summer ocf, church; august and more of the same, shihui’s birthday; september and work ends, shimin and othello, gymming, mummy’s birthday, flight to london.

I challenge you to read between the lines of the above! Well in between those list-able things, were rollercoasters- emotional, spiritual, physical. The really steep-climbs-sheer-falls-360-degree-turns sort of rollercoasters, which I will never pay for in a themepark, and probably not dare to get on even if you paid me to!

Now the new school year has started. I’ve been forced by circumstance, more than by any great humility on my part, to start out head bowed low and on my knees. And now, I don’t know how to say what’s happened in this past week and a half except that (and saying like that is understating it by far by far..) God is so good, so faithful… and I want to stay on my knees the rest of the year. And it is, ironically or funnily enough I think, the only way I’m going to be able to run the race.

Someone once told me, of the rat-race, “The thing is, we run and run and run and run and run, but at the end of the race, we’re still rats.” haha. I don’t want to be running that race this year. By His grace, I’ll be running with perseverance the race marked out for me (Heb12:1-2).

Run with me?
