Amazing how a week of turmoil, bitterness, lostness (is there such a term?!), being in limbo and almost in dire straits can turn and become one of the most fantastic turnaround comeback weeks! :) I must say that when God takes certain things away from people, whether to take us away from our 'comfort zones' or to teach us a lesson or plunges us into trouble; He wants us to cling on to Him, to return to Him and also perhaps to see if we fall back to Him and let Him catch us or to see if we blame it on Him. Interesting.
It was a good feeling coming back to the Father's House (better known as BLC - Bangsar Lutheran Church) yesterday. I did blog last week that Sunday is the 1st day of the week, not the last and that it was a refreshing start for me then. One week has gone by and another Sabbath Day has come! Coming back to the Lord feels like coming home :) We don't just come back on Sundays though. Coming back to God is an a daily thing. Worship is an daily thing. Worship is active. 'The heart of worship is worship from the heart'.
I thank God for the last 2 weeks. Why shouldn't i thank God for the horrible week too? I thank Him for teaching me so many things that week. I thank Him for His grace, mercy, compassion, love, patience, guidance, wisdom and strength that week. I got by didn't I? He sent me His angel, my mentor and friend to help me. Thank you Father :)
I spent most of the week catching up with friends, both old and new. Spent it with Jo. Although i didn't have much time with her, the time that we did spend were priceless and quality. Spent time with my mum and sister, the latter coming back just for the weekend - the family fellowship was so meaningful and lovely. Spent time with my work - in contemplation, planning, focusing and execution. Spent time with my bandmates. Spent time in creativity. Spent time in devotion. Spent time with God. Spent time working on spiritual growth and discipline. Spent time catching 2 movies. Spent time in conversations, in writings, in readings and in the Daily Bread.
Jo says i'm back. I do feel back in better form. I do feel that i am back :) Back at home...

L to the L: You are back, and I am glad, WE are glad. And now you're in better form, you're closer to God and just from looking at this blog, you should know how dearly LOVED you are and that you are one of a kind, and people recognise that.
Your faith and excitement in God is so encouraging, and contagious as well! And yes, thank you Father for bringing him back and for blessing him with so many wonderful friends and for bringing them to him at Your perfect timing.
P.S. yes, thanks especially to Mr. Tan Chin Choy =)
Who's L to the L? I'm just happy to be the catalyst used to help Chin Hor during that tough week. I was merely a pawn, in the right place, at the right time... divinely placed.
