Random Thoughts after quite a day

The moment I awoke ... it's been non-stop since with some special moments here and there.

anxious - calm - wondering - prayerful - assured - jittery - bored - happy - peaceful - a whole range of emotions and moods flowed through me the whole day.

DB's Post Trust and Obey captures in a way .. our time with the Rumah Hope Kids. There was one moment where I felt hey ... we prepared the games for them but we are not playing with them so I dashed in and played with them (ok ... I can start theologizing here but I shall refrain). At another point it was wonderful just to play "volleyball" in a circle and try to keep the ball up 20times ... as an initial goal. There were too many little moments captured in my digital camera.

One special one was a short conversation with a Father who was walking with his son with learning disabilities and they kind of shared in the joy we had while playing.

Managed to rush home for a short rest before I headed for a wedding (which started late). happy to find a parking next to the hotel (that was before even uttering a prayer request for a parking lot *grin*)

Missed another friends wedding, skipped the dinner tonight and will have one tomorrow and another one next week ... it's "getting married season"!

The wedding ceremony was one of the longer ones I had lately :-) there was a pretty long sermon (with translation of course) and 4 presentations (mine was the last). I must admit my rendeirng of the hymn "Here is Love" to my opinion was not that professional but I did sing it honestly and with genuineness ... Interesting comments after the service on my guitar playing too (I wasn't too used to the loud monitors).

Enjoyed feeding Elysia today ... had some time with her while May Chin did some shopping, got dinner for me and pick up Gareth.

Centering a little while I'm doing this post. Listening to a Ultima Thule ambient music download. It's been helpful for me lately.

Watching a special suprise gift - Classic Albums - U2: The Joshua Tree DVD yesterday was a needed cushion for a stressful moment.

Will be off to Sacred Gateway to get to be in a place of encounter

Lots of blog if I want to ... but there's sunday worship tomorrow where I'll be preaching and conducting holy communion for another Lutheran church. An evening wedding dinner, final preparations for a weeklong camp next week, then return hopefully to catch a spirituality seminar if possible, and another dinner and then Sunday preach and conduct communion at a different Lutheran Church then it's all plunge into BLC's Christmas plans ... phew!

It's been quite a day today ... a day which I'm thankful .. I know there will be more to come.
