0958.

I grew up reading Enid Blyton's Famous Five and Faraway Tree series... where ordinary children and an ordinary forest became exordinary for those who kept their eyes and heart open and went where impetus led.

One after another, they had adventures, meeting people and things and situations so excitingly unreal adults would scoff if they only knew or for that matter, listen.

My life is an adventure.

I have not busted criminals or seen fairy beings but Omnipotence has peeled back the stuff that lined my heart and eyes which prevented me from seeing and feeling like I am meant to do so.

I have not travelled to all that many places or ate the delicacies of non-human communities but Omnipresence has kept me under the shadow of His wings, in His heart and as the apple of His eye and I have ate and drank at the table of mercy and great rejoicing, the truest movable feast available for those who seek.

I'm not in the headlines nor do I live a child's tasks-free life but Omniscience has guided me through this adult's weaved world and kept me totally in His plan, hemming me in and out, left and right, top and bottom with the knowledge that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His promise.

When I was young, I loved sitting at, with legs poking out of, the metal gate of our HDB flat. There was a peace that came with sitting there staring at the skies and being quiet or talking or singing to myself.

There's always a peace when I sit with You, when I am with You and how thankful I am that my impetus is not my own folly but that it is You, You who help me be still when I should and move like the wind into my destiny when it's time.

Lots of things have been happening the last two weeks. At my first Msian PlanetShakers conference, I learnt things new to me and had matters learnt reaffirmed in my spirit. And many matters God has revealed and spoken to me over the last two months especially geared up for a curve I didn't see coming but which made all the sense now.

The light on the narrow path is purposefully only ever big enough for just the next step, not two km ahead but as you keep walking on, there is a step when you move into something different, something bigger and you see the tapestry of the lessons you took every step before.

Last night, the man who is going to be my pastor said, "It's an adventure."

And it is. This. wave. is. big. And I can't wait to ride it.

Blessed Christmas, everyone. Live big.

He came and died and lived again for you so you can live too.
