A few moments my departure...

Dear God,

Someone once said that writing a novel is like driving at night with your headlights on - you can only see a few feet ahead, but you can make the entire trip that way.

Living a life is like that, too, I think. Certainly a life of faith.

Give me the grace, O God, to live such a life... and to realize that though the light given me is never as much as I would like, it is enough. It is enough.

(beautiful prayer by Ken Gire)



In an hour's time, I shut down my laptop, am disconnected from all online connections, rush to shop for gifts in Oxford Street for friends back home, board a plane, respire mid-air for 13 hours, touch down in a tropical island-country... and start a new chapter of my life.

Thank You, Lord. Your light for me shall be enough. Shall be enough.

Sandra,
what a beautiful and inspirational prayer you've listed by Ken Gire. I've been blessed so much by this, coz it sheds light on my current situation too. The light that God gives will always be more than enough, although I really, really wish I had more to see my future with. That's why it's called a life of faith, coz Father - All Is in Thy Hands! Have a safe trip to Singapore. ~ Martin

Ps: Cool blog! Keep it up!
