Random thoughts after two sets.

'Do not be shy.'
'Hit harder. No one will condemn you.'

Lay aside the confusion and the chaos.
Look only at Him and align to His will.

'It is different when you play with confidence.'

The layers of self doubt can only come apart when you want it enough.
When you are willing to make mistakes and let all see it.

The toms call out to you; use me.
And you still hold yourself back a little.

But it is in this imperfection that God continues to work in you.
More and more.
Someday you are going to conquer it all.

Bethel concert 2017

There are events in life that happens to take you to a new level of perspective.
This was one of it.

Tonight, all that mattered was being refreshed and refocused in His presence.
In order to grow in the capacity that He has doubled.
And to not dread what may come each day, but with His confidence able to say, 'Bring it on, my God is greater than this.'

Broom service

This greeted me at my desk this morning.
Stark and smack center for all who passes my place to see.
Yet I was deliriously excitedly it has arrived from the USA.
To the point where I was taking photos of it.
It was so distracting that I had to moved it exactly hidden by my laptop screen to get any work done today.

Double Grace

Isn't God just awesome when someone not only skips church to sleep in, 

but gets leader's material that helps him in cell group later on in the week?

It is a humbling lesson to learn you have choice to focus on God's goodness or stay in a funk over how unfair it is when you see double grace given to another person.

This is like the 200th post labelled with 1000 things.
Looking back, I've been silly with most posts.
But there have been a lot of moments that I would otherwise have forgotten if not for having this label.
I'm thankful for today and how far I've come.
That is the grace and love He shows me, always.

A day spent with Spike

I finally get to meet Spike!!
He is like in his 80s in dog years yet he was chasing me around!!
It's been so long since I last met a dog and had rough play like I did today!! Like it has been eight to nine years since I last rough played with Wallace the Mini Schnauzer.


After dinner near the seaside, managed to catch this beautiful sunset.
It just really complemented my day splendidly.

I really hope there will be other chances to meet Spike again but it was good as it was today. I remember being so shy that first CNY that I could have met him. And then the second CNY I didn't want to go without Nana. There was no open house last year. So this is like the fourth CNY!

Seeing Spike is like a goal accomplished; of how far I've come in terms of being shy and being able to overcome it in order to see him.
