Summer nights

Friday 1 January 2010 - Filed under Personal + Revelations

So on New Year’s day (the quietest one in 7 years if I may add), I went to my window and breathed in the cold air. It’s 17 degrees outside right now, rather characteristic of summer nights apparently. That smell was exactly like what I smelt the first night I was in Perth – the smell of the cold and the grass. And the first album I’ve put on this year is an artist group I listened to in year 2000 (it’s a Chinese worship band).

It’s so reflective of how it feels like I’ve come around a full circle. I graduate this year, I’m spending my 3rd year in Perth. I’m 23 this year, but I’m listening to what I listen to at 13, and I’m here on a summer night again.

But everything’s so different now. I like to believe that I’ve changed. I met God for real, on an everyday basis, I fell in love with Him. And I’ve met people who challenge my walk, who appreciate me and loves me for who I am and who I can be. I’ve come to realisations and revelations of God’s love and the boundless limit of His love and grace.

I looked back with Him on this past decade, and it’s been life-changing. And I’m sure that being on the ride with a dangerous God can only be more exciting, challenging, life-changing. I look forward to 2010, the next decade. (Of which I kinda do wish to graduate, find a job, fall in love, get married and have kids, and do what He had specifically called me to do. But hey, it’s all up to Him. He writes the story after all.)

We’re indeed in for the ride of our lives.

Happy 2010.
