Sunday, December 16, 2007 Hey dearly beloveds! This is a very very belated post... Charity sent us a postcard quite some time ago but I didn't get a chance to meet all of you together, so I'll type her message here: To: JC West A (and to everyone who knows me well enough ^^) Hello! To all you beloved brothers & sisters in Christ =) I was thinking of you guys during my trip to Scotland and Lake District so I decided to send ya all a postcard =) I miss you guys! The fun, insanity, weirdness... though a portion of insanity was present in the group I travelled with. Miss the unique anointed sharing and random fun moments. Lake District was just so awe-inspiring. Taking the bus to get around from town to town it's all just fields - in different colours 'cos it's autumn now - like an artist's palate... and sheep and sheep and more sheep (insert sheep picture here: charity drew one on the postcard but it's not possible to put it here haha) meh? that really looked like those cottonwool projects we did in kindergarten - balls of fluff. What was just so awesome was spending time in the Word with that kind of surroundings. Looking at sheep - having no cares and just feeding and feeding and feeding beside streams - imagining myself as one... carefree and satisfied. Psalms 23 goes 'The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want'. I am to be like those sheep... He will take care of everything. 'He makes me to lie down in green pastures' I can't begin to describe what green pastures look like up close... nothing like the grass in Singapore and God makes you lie down - causes you to rest... and sheep lie on their side... leaving the flank completely exposed - complete trust in the shepherd. I challenge myself. do I trust God completely? Am I aware of how much He has done for me and is doing for me? [this goes especially for the exam people] All the little white balls of fluff looked pretty much the same to me... I thought 'oh. look. sheep' but it's so awesome that God doesn't think the same way. John 10:3 "To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out" John 10:11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep." I'd say nvm la, lose one sheep only, still got so many more... all the same one. But God thinks differently and treasures each and every individual. So cool. And a friend brought another one to light. We saw this random black sheep in the flock - like completely black - and thinking about black sheep set me thinking about sheep gone astray (Luke 15:4-7) and the heart of God. To know that He loves you as an individual, He's your protector, your saviour. Beautiful. And that's just the sheep bit. There were autumn lanes... with orange and gold trees overhanging paths covered in leaves... like korean dramas lol. But it was so so beautiful, even more so knowing that God made them for me to look at =) Know that Jesus loves you so so much [and you are so blessed to have Pastor tell you that every week.] God bless! -sending my love & prayers from London- Charity.
