Finally back in Adelaide.. yeah!!!
Internet connection up and running... double yeah!!!
Got a room with a view and bathroom AND air-con... triple yeah!!!

This of course means higher fees, and furthermore, I'm limited in my internet access... quite a long story, and quite technical and hence difficult to explain. Would have to cut down in internet usage, but I could live with that.

Begin to realise that I've taken lots of distractions along with me to Adelaide this time round.. like the games and anime... must really, really set aside time for the Lord.

In any case, settling in quite well here, thanks be to God.

Wow... time sure passes by quickly.

I'm already nearing the end of my summer break, and nearly the end of my "mission trip" here in Singapore. Soon, I'll be leaving for my other "mission trip" to Adelaide. This holiday has been really fulfilling; going back to Indonesia and spending time with Dad,Mum, Shintya and Shanny again, seeing my other relatives, and in Singapore, meeting my dear friends, attending J21 concerts, interning at Serve; that has to be the highlight of my holidays!

And it is with great reluctance that I return to Adelaide.

What is it that I am reluctant to leave? Friends? Family? Ministries? Comforts?

Yes, comforts...!

In Christ Alone, I place my trust...

LOVE: A PARAPHRASE OF 1 CORINTHIANS 13

If I talk a lot about God and the Bible and the Church, but I fail to
ask about your needs and then help you, I'm simply making a lot of empty
religious noise.

If I graduate from theological seminary and know all the answers to
questions you'll never even think of asking, and if I have all the degrees
to prove it and if I say I believe in God with all my heart, and soul
and strength, and claim to have incredible answers to my prayers to show
it, but I fail to take the time to find out where you're at and what
makes you laugh and why you cry, I'm nothing.

If I sell an extra car and some of my books to raise money for some
poor starving kids somewhere, and if I give my life for God's service and
burn out after pouring everything I have into the work, but do it all
without ever once thinking about the people, the real hurting people-the
moms and dads and sons and daughters and orphans and widows and the
lonely and hurting-if I pour my life into the Kingdom but forget to make
it relevant to those here on earth, my energy is wasted, and so is my
life.

Here is what love is like--genuine love. God's kind of love. It's
patient. It can wait. It helps others, even if they never find out who did
it. Love doesn't look for greener pastures or dream of how things could
be better if I just got rid of all my current commitments. Love doesn't
boast. It doesn't try to build itself up to be something it isn't. Love
doesn't act in a loose, immoral way. It doesn't seek to take, but it
willingly gives. Love doesn't lose its cool. It doesn't turn on and off.
Love doesn't think about how bad the other person is, and certainly
doesn't think of how it could get back at someone. Love is grieved deeply
(as God is) over the evil in this world, but it rejoices over truth.

Love comes and sits with you when you're feeling down and finds out
what is wrong. It empathizes with you and believes in you. Love knows
you'll come through just as God planned, and love sticks right beside you
all the way. Love doesn't give up, or quit, or diminish or go home. Love
keeps on keeping on, even when everything goes wrong and the feelings
leave and the other person doesn't seem as special anymore. Love
succeeds 100 percent of the time. That, my friend, is what real love is!
