Hiatus

Realised I haven't blogged for a long time! Well I have good reason... went for wisdom tooth surgery mid-April and survived a bad infection through a whole month's worth of antibiotics and God's grace. Right after that it was off to Australia for my long awaited holiday.

Speaking about the Australia trip, besides the usual bumming around at beaches which I love, and the wonderful dry and cool weather, spending time with Bob and Nola always refreshes me and reminds me of the love of God. In particular, Bob's just such a wonderful representation of Father God, and a fatherly figure which I had lacked for most of my life. His gentleness, wisdom, humour and love always feels to me as if God Himself was interacting with me. Well I guess Bob really has securely experienced the Father's love for him, and therefore he is able to extend it to others, even non-family like me.

Tonight I ministered to someone with SOZO for the first time. I was initially quite tired but also excited because I was looking forward to what God will do in this person, even though I don't know who she is. True enough, God really ministered to her and I walked out of the session feeling refreshed and encouraged too. The presence of God really does that. That's why it's so important to minister FROM His presence rather than FOR His presence. Serving from a position of rest always beats striving. I must remember that.
