treading softly through the wild tangles strewn at your feet,
you sidestep gingerly,
avoiding the prominent pitfalls that threaten to snag your every step
coming to a clearing,
the path ahead look innocuous enough

cautiously, you take a step
then another
before long, a chorus of footsteps blithely rings out

you careen down the fairway
anticipating the takeoff,
transiting from motion to flight

elevation affords you a new vantage point
and your eyes scour the path you've just streaked through

nettles and thorns
brambles and bushes
dot the seemingly clear ground
your limbs are scratched,
thorns embedded within your skin
and your heart leaks out through your gaping openness

plummeting
freefalling
innocence lost in a fleeting instance

faith camp

faith camp was a really inspirational, refreshing time and it felt like I have been far away from God. There's this pledge that I found in one of the workshop notes which was really beautiful. yes beautiful is the only word i can use to describe it, it's well beautiful.

"I will be with you, no matter what happens to us and between us. If you should become blind tomorrow, I will be there. If you achieve no success and attain no status in our society, I will be there. When we argue and are angry, as we inevitably will, I will work to bring us together. When we seem totally at angry, as we inevitably will, I will work to bring us together. When we seem totally at odds and neither of us is having needs fulfilled, I will persist in trying to understand and in trying to restore our relationship. When our marriage seems utterly sterile and going nowhere at all, I will believe that it can work and I will do my part to make it work. And when all is wonderful and we are happy, I will rejoice over our life together, and continue to strive to keep our relationship growing and strong."

I hope I can live up to such a commitment :)

i've really got to thank God for Faith camp. for all the immense amounts of insights and revelations, for just reaching deep inside of me and knowing all my thoughts, fears, hopes, dreams, hurts and joys even before i even knew them. and for just answering me in ways that i've never thought about, given me an assurance and confirmation of my place in His kingdom.

to be thought higher by the Most High King than what you yourself have ever felt, is just whoaa to the max.

and really thank God for all the wonderful friendships strengthened, especially on the last night. where the total lack of sleep except 1 hour was totally, totally worth it. talking to so many more mature individuals at various stages of their lifes, being in the same boat as me or already had the experience to advice me, was really very enriching. jamming away with weixiong and later david. singing all our sparklight songs with actions, sharing with cell, talking nonsense with tiffy, taking our 5am too outta yr brain photos, alvin the antm photographer, just talking and sharing with joanna weixiong rachel lionel and sososo much more.

God is an awesome awesome God; truly the only One deserving of all praise. even in moments when i've felt so insignificant and inadequate, He truly is the author and perfecter of our faith. :)
