SUCH TIMES

        So I'm imagining going on this car ride where I'm obviously on the passenger seat and the driver driving.  Along the road past Nausori airport (I don't know why) we come across unexpected humps. (maybe this is why. ha.) Meanwhile there are ongoing conversations between the driver and I about life, likes and dislikes.    The first hump.  The first hump got me with both hands stretched out and clenching on whatever I could get it on - the left hand on the driver's shoulder, the right hand pressing on the glass window, plus a little agitated heavy sigh.  The driver calm as ever continues driving.   The ride was beautiful especially with the newly done roads and fancy street lights done and billboards on the side - super comfortable dot dot dot ..... until the second hump.  I started to complain.     " How did you not see that coming?" "Why is there a hump in the middle of nowhere?" "Wh...

It is summer! And it is BEAUTIFUL! The taste of mangoes this past few days has me lingering on Thankfulness.  It is soooo sweet and beautiful that there has to be a God that makes it all THAT good! My heart explodes at the taste of it.  I stand on the side of this L - shaped living room and look out to one end where the breeze makes the clothes on the line fly like its about to touch the sky and then to the other end where the branches of mango trees in the front yard sway to the music of nature.  A bliss. I can't help but give thanks!

  I don't know if I will write more about it but today this part of it is what I want to share here. Blessings!       “Here are the blueprints for the whole project as God gave me to understand it,” 1 Chronicles 28: 19 Just got done watching Heaven is for Real and thankful for the timing of it.   It’s quite amusing to me that I never got to watch it when it had come out until this week. Heaven is for real. A place like no other. I still feel the rush of it and pray it will never ever stop.   My heart was just heavy and straight after family devotion I rushed to the room, shut the door behind me and knelt and just let out a sudden (to my surprise) flow of unceasing tears like my heart was going to fall out! I just wanted it all out. Whatever it was. With life unfolding to new and different seasons, I cried for just a sense of peace and comfort to rest, to rest, to rest in my King as the seasons inevitably change.  ...
