biking with the wind blowing me...

yeah, hoping that my mind makes some sense in writing. my sense of black and white in matters relating to life and thoughts are becoming blurred - i hope not by the influence of new age but rather by the influence and my human understanding of the grace of God. i want these recordings to become a reminder of God's faithfulness in my golden days.
So, welcome my friend, let's learn together. I beckon you.

7 Eleven in Sitiawan? *pengsan*

Okay, so I am home. The first emotion or rather the result of the emotion I felt upon entering into the Kampung Koh area was shedding some tears. Of course I did not allow that to happen, so I sucked the tears in and pretended everything was fine. *ahem*

I have not been at home much since I got home, and typing this is a testimony to me not being at home. No internet connection at home, that's why. Too many of the 'home' word. Bah!

So, what is with Sitiawan having a 7-Eleven outlet? What is the branch doing here? And why is it here? It is a reflection of Sitiawan getting more developed by the day, for your information. I dread the day I come back to another fast moving place to get out of another. I hope they never make Sitiawan to be a place it is not meant to be.

Life is slow here and I love it. I guess I will probably move back here in the future, just don't know when. I hope my spouse would want to come back too. Yeah, many of my friends would be working in KL, but I guess it's alright. We'll see where God calls.

Heart is still heavy, waiting for the day things will be lifted up to the skies, and I feel unburdened and free again. God is good in my weakness and in my sorrow. Sure, life the past few months has not been anywhere near great, but God has been speaking to my heart. Things will be fine soon. There's rainbow still. =)

A friend suggested saying this to my future spouse.
"Where you go I will follow, where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people, your God will be my God. Where you die I will die.."
Ruth 1:16-17

I've got 2 youths asking me when I am getting married. *faint* Mind you, they did not ask me,"How are you?", instead they just launched into, "When are you getting married Grace?". I was stunned. What have they been thinking anyway? Too much television.

Okay, I have to leave now. Catch up with some of you soon.

one life to live,
gracey

yea i agree that certain places should just be left as it is... smaller towns are great for retirement and a place to escape to.. I would also one day like to move back to a smaller town.. if not, the stressful life of Kl would most probably kill me 1st...hehe... enjoy your hols ^^
