i hope my words are strange and wondrous,

like kisses that quiet all things superfluous,

so that we can all stop and

listen

if i were to meet myself three years ago,

i wouldn't recognize the me i am today.

three years ago i wouldn't have accepted Chris's invitation to frosh connexion,

i wouldn't have stood comfortably, just happy to have seized the opportunity..

i wouldn't have said yes to Orientation dinner CCF,

i wouldn't have met the people that i did.

and i wouldn't have followed a crudely drawn map

on the back of a business card,

and drag albert with me at 10AM on a sunday morning

in my first week of university

to find this small church.

and i wouldn't have found the peace i've been looking for for the past month.

i'm dedicating today to christian music only.

today my heart, my head, my thoughts,

will be solely for God.

its funny the way God designs your life..

and when you stumble upon what He intended,

shaped entirely with his love, and your mistakes..

time and time again i thought i'd never get past the walls in me...

but the voice of truth tells me a different story

- Casting Crowns

walking down the sidewalk 12:00noon.

i feel strangely liberated from my worries,

from my stress.

i have a God.

and He loves me.

and His love will carry me through.

i am ready for my encounter,

with all of God.

the God who reveals,

who saves..

and who sends.
