glimpse of my journey

I guess it’s time to clean up the house after coming back from a long journey almost a month long. Some has been thinking whether I have abandoned my blog just like many other have done. Me being me, I’m still open for a business unless I completely remove the sign above the shop, like I have recently done with my facebook account.

Anyway here’s a glimpse of my journey so far since graduation.

Early December, my course in the Philippines is completed and I graduated. A degree was not what I was after. Uninterrupted time with God was. Being stored away while learning the hidden things of God was. Reconciliation with myself and God was.

I joined a ministry of evangelistic crusade in Manila, where healing and salvation were happening each night. I saw some amazing things I have never seen before. Feeding the poor and the less privileged to show the love of Jesus, sharing the Word and the testimony..life is so alive there.

Kids ‘attack’ to get more candy-with built in survival instinct everyone else becomes a competitor even in these little ones lives.

                                                      

Flied to South Korea, and visited DMZ at the border of South and North Korea. revisited the under ground tunnel the NK dug to attack the South, the history and the current situation led me to the prayer, looking down the NK land. That was the day that the leader of NK died, which has been announced couple of days later. (therefore when the above picture is taken, he was already no more)

                                                       

Since my brother is entering the army on February our family didn’t, in fact no one, welcome the sudden tension caused at this particular time. People are basically selfish beings, if a sacrifice is needed we hope it wouldn’t be ours. But it doesn’t work that way, as it’s been said, if we never ask “why me?” in time of blessing, we shouldn’t ask “why me?” in time of hardship.

Sudden change of scenery- flied to Boracay for a true graduation holiday. It was the most beautiful beach I have ever seen in my life. New year shouting and hugs and fireworks on the white sand beach would never be forgotten. And what happened in Boracay surely stays in Boracay, under that eye-hurting white sand.

Regenerating much needed VitD while hilling on the beach. For too many years, I never cried because of farewell..before my best friend from Japan, miss Nakagawa. In some way I am glad to get my tears back, I feel like a human again.

I flied to Shanghai to attend my ex-sheep’s wedding. There was, three of my ex-sheep serving China in a great measure. Things happened in this country has deeply touched my heart, I know that I have a family wherever I go because of the same Father we have.

For the extreme changes in temperature during the trip I was enjoying different tablets and medicines of each country. Korea was as cold as -20 degrees while Boracay almost 30 degrees, Shanghai was 3 degrees and Australia? whopping 36 degrees on the day of my arrival.

Couple of days ago I moved to a new city where I have not lived for a new start. My fb account is erased. For almost a month I lived on disposable goods and samples., and when I finally unpacked my luggage in my own room, I know that I’m finally home.

My name is Esther.
