i can't but give thanks. for the much that God has blessed me with, over the summer, and into the school term. i guess i have been rather myopic, choosing to focus on what seems to be important, what i want, rather than on things above, and that is where things just start to go terribly wrong, or just even feel to become terribly wrong. not that i regret what had happened, life's a journey never long enough to harbour regrets, only lessons learnt.
its back to the same old 4 people living in the house, brother, parents and i, and already its beginning to feel a little quiet. i miss the sister randomly bumming around the house playing the wii, and having fantastic dinners on the weekends with the family, because so-and-so is going back really soon, or so-and-so will be here only for a short time. celebrations require a season for sure, but there is no reason needed for family time. -nods. its just mandatory. one of the many gifts that God has given, which i have overlooked.
there are many other things to be thankful for, Cambodia, friends and such.
but at a time such as this, when my sister and grandma have just flown north and south respectively for another year at least, its time to pay tribute, and give thanks for, family.
pondering about: how to make the gospel real.
praying about: purposing in my heart not to defile myself. (Daniel1:8). may i have the same resolve, God-willing.
