The moment the plane took flight, my heart was so filled with excitement. Cos I felt so disconnected with the world that i am living in. Disconnected from phones, work and family (oops! *wink) burdens, tiredness and laptop! haa etc and simply getting ready to be connected with GOD once again in this retreat. Its just an awesome feeling and indescribable anticipation.
One of the most exciting moments as I woke up each morning is to look through the sliding door and stare a little further at the serene river that is just outside Dorcas' house. Its beautiful. Its such a luxury to be able to admire this gorgeous creation of GOd's as I spent time reading His word and connecting with Him. Then again, the very priviledge of being to spend time with God everywhere that I go since He is an omnipresence God, in itself is a luxury. Cos in His presence there is fullness of joy and pleasures evermore. hmm.... :)

Talking about disconnection, I am still experiencing it now. When I came back, my television was down. Wonder what really happened but anyway its down at the RIGHT time. The very Saturday when i got back, i brought my parents and ah ma for the parents' night dinner organised by my church. There was this guy called Su Zhi Ming who shared his life testimony. He was an ex-drug addict for 20 over years and who eventually had a transformed life after he gave his life to Jesus. My dad was listening attentively to him cos his life resembled a little of my brother's i guessed. He enjoyed the hokkien songs which Bro Su performed. So i bought the CD home.
The disconnection with the television brought so much boredom to my dad. But I helped him get connected with what he has really been missing out in Life - Jesus. *grins* Without the TV, there was a great silence back home but it was so filled with my sharings during dinner time and since i yakked so much, the dinner time lengthened. Haa.. not a bad thing after all cos dad and mum gets to hear about my day and i get to find out more about theirs. After dinner, i simply put in Bro Su's CD and played it loud enough for them to hear. Dad walked into my room and started meddling with the bass sound. He then sat on my bed and started listening to the gospel music!!! Afterwhich, i was trying to sing it aloud but being so lousy in my chinese reading, dad had to help me and guess what? Unknowingly he was verbalising the name of Jesus and humming along. I thank God for such a breakthrough, such an opportunity!! Dad sat was seriously listening and I was glad. :)
Today, the television was still down. I had the chance to take dad and mum out after dinner for a stroll. It was good. They talked, we talked, everyone was happy. Without the television, we have so much more healthier 'connections'. Hmm.. I so think that the TV don't have to be back home. haaa...
Ever wonder why i am so beautiful? Just look at dad and mum... how far can i get right? *wink Thank God for them.
