The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..
Was at Changi Airport last night to send our dear friend Susan who's migrating to Sydney. Susan has been a friend we really got to know when we were in the Johanesburg Church where she was serving 4 years ago. Since then they have been various chances to met and exchange ideas, encouragement and blessings. Although we don't meet often but when we do it, she will always laugh!
It was a farewell without much fan fare. No banners, no songs, nothing fancy, just good friends and a special time with a good sister.
Farewell Susan! May God help you share your love to others and may He multiple blessings onto your life. Grow to be strong and yet tender, powerful and yet responsible. Grow to be like Jesus having convictions that puts many to shame, following God in your destiny.
Grow in childlikeness ... for the Kingdom of God belong to such as these.
Thanks for the countless blessings to us. We'll miss you around...I realise i don't have a photo of Susan, so i found this free image to sum her up .. In the few years we have known her she has lived in 4 continents of the world.. and I for one am still in my monastic desert.
But don't feel sorry for me cos there's a big world around where I am which I have yet seen, that I'm strangely curious about. Until its my time to move, i'll have my eyes open and will keep looking.
