Island Life... Love it!

Sentosa... Here we come!


Surf... Sand... Sun...

Nothing quite like a day at the beach with great friends.


The day may begin with a downpour, but Abba Father sure turned the sun back on with a vengeance! Shiok ah! Got the burns to prove it too... hahaha


Went to Sentosa on Saturday with brothers & sisters from St Joseph's Church Kanektas.. (Connectors.. get it?) to celebrate the success of the confirmation camp last weekend. The greatest joy in ministry is to see lives transformed by the love of Christ and the power of His Spirit.


Really had a blast... just wasting the day away; lazing around in the waters, tossing a ball around or a frisbee, laughing and making merry all the way. There's a certain liberation to know you're wasting time on the beach, and loving every minute of it! Indeed in the hectic Singapore lifestyle there's always something to do next. We finish something, there's always another thing waiting and we hop to it, no time to be taking it easy... Easy to forget that life's about the journey, not the destination.


Even more true for those of us who are in Christ Jesus...




Because He made a stand on the Cross, our final destination is certain... One way ticket to Heaven. What God likes is to enjoy the journey with us, walking with us on this earth one day at a time.
Picture this... How are you gonna answer when you come face to face with God one day and He asks you..


"So, did you enjoy My Creation? I made it especially for you..."

=)

Yupp... Would like to have days like this in the future. A day off, just to savour the beauty of God's handiwork in the company of people He has blessed my life with...


One of those days where I truly thank God I'm alive...


The feeling that, whatever it is I have to do next, it can wait...

Now, THAT's heaven on earth...
