First destination was Indonesia - my hometown - well, didnt do much at home cos preparing for the trip to Thailand with my sisters...really excited about this....but it was so interesting...at the airport from Brisbane, my ticket was not re-issued using my new name, so basically I didnt have any ticket for the flight!!! cant you imagine that??? I had to wait for more than hour for them to sort it out. Well, at least I managed to get on the plane! :)
Then..this afternoon, after I got on the plane to Bangkok, suddenly I realised..I didnt bring the most important thing!!!it's my bible.....also I left my MP3 player, filled with great sermons!! which I'm so wanting to listen during the trip! Man!!!!!!! I even forgotten my camera!!! that's just great, Vanessa!! I was just not so happy about it...without the bible, felt like really not complete heyy. Felt uneasy the whole time I was on the plane...
But then, I just stopped and think about it....hang on! the Holy Spirit is living within me....and it's God Himself being with me....He's there to guide me and teach me...and I dont have to feel that something is missing, while that something is actually always there.
Then I thought about people who dont have the access to bible, those who never heard or rarely heard about God's word being preached to them....when there's no option for them. And here I am feeling very frustrated not having my bible for 2 weeks!!! So pathetic!!!
Having thought of the bigger picture, I dont have to worry so much. God's peace was in my heart, and will always be...knowing the author of the bible is living in my heart...and I need to turn in to listen.
I see this perhaps like an adventure with God, just me and God....in everyday life, trying to hear, learn, and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit within me....no bible, no songs, life groups...in the midst of distractions and noise...it's where I'm learning to depend on the Holy Spirit presence in my heart....
Anyway, I think it's getting late now...so maybe I'll get some rest. But yeahh....hope to share what God is doing in the next few days ...
Do pray for me, the family...the battle is real and nearer than ever.
