Diving Deep

We started out fine,

like kids testing out waters.

dipping our toes

into the precarious pool ahead

then together, as it seemed

our friendship took the plunge

diving deep, destiny.

Before long the other person came along

I wished you happiness

couldn't have wanted more

for this friend who has shown

himself to be best

Slowly like wood upon the sea

we drifted,

Our friendship took the plunge

diving deep, drowned.

Before long you brushed me aside

It was alright until you came

and told me that I should stand one side

away from your life, and hers.

I still wish you happiness

and pray that the future

for us might exist

Not like wood upon the sea

unstable and drowned.

But once again as kids

in that once precarious pool

Diving deep but delight

in what I hope might be,

our Destiny.

Thank you Jesus!

Your love is deep, wide, great, high.

Your love is all we ever need.

ALL WE EVER NEED.

:D

Holding my HEART out to YOU

change is like an ocean wave

beautiful yet terrifying.

strength beyond its appearance

beauty in expectance.

not without fear

for it does not adhere

to rules of man

for with his hand

tries to resist its force

but with a toss

falls flat with failure

what we hold dear

stable and constant

might fall through in an instant

dreaded drum of life

upturns every constant

all but One

of love grace and mercy

the one who is so lovely

holds true, a wave

strength beyond appearance

beauty with expectance

different yet consistent

Exams are over.

It feels strange to be sitting in a cafe or the park or in my room with no agenda. Haven't had that feeling in a while now. today Jefferson left. Won't see him ever unless he comes back to London or I meet up with him in US. Couple other people leaving today but I'll still see them I guess.

It has been a great year in University. I felt like I have matured in some ways. New experiences, great friends, new found independence. God has been good. He has opened my eyes to many things. Some Good, some flaws that I still have to work on.

It's only a few days till I fly back to Singapore. I'm looking forward to it. yet I'm afraid of many things. I'm pretty aware of the fact of continuous change us humans undergo. and it is the same awareness that scares me. Because I expect so much change. I have undeniably changed as a person, in what I look out for in people, what I expect from my life, and relationships. And I know relationships between people back home have changed. It scares me but I know the only way is to face it and accept it. unlike Amy in Eliot's The Family Reunion, I don't want everything to stay the same, for static relationships. I need change and excitement. It gives fear but also this adrenaline from the expectation of things to come.

God has been good, and He will be. :D Thank You Jesus for this awesome year. :P

ha la la la la la life is wonderful

Studying for anthropology = non-existent

Other things have been going great though. Keep praying for housing because we have yet to sign the contract.

The dream God has given me is taking root. Waiting upon the Lord for now till I get back.

Excitement is brewing. :D

first, I'll need some excitement whilst I study for Anthro. I can't believe I thought this might be interesting. geez.

BREAK OUT

Break Out was last night.

To be honest, I felt really reluctant to go. mainly cause I was feeling lazy, and the other because I really didn't know what to expect. But I went in the end. We prayer walked from London Bridge, went round some of the clubs to pray, and towards Waterloo. At the end, Piete Jazz and Jonny spoke to this guy who was sitting alone. Hannah and I went to the big green couches to sit, and in the end, we went up 3 girls and prayed for them.

I really praise God for giving us that courage. I mean, being in a whole new country and all, I feel that I can do the same as I did back home. People are infact perhaps more open. We'll keep praying and asking God for the harvest from seeds that we have sown.

Thank You Lord.
