went to see Dhoby off this morning with Kel and a bunch of his church friends and well technically going-aways aren't good things and they don't often spell good starts...but this one is and does.lingered in the airport (no, not like in the Terminal. tho there were these men collecting and pushing the trolleys into the arrival hall which made me think of Tom Hanks. haha) and settled in a niiice plush sofa seat at Pacific Coffee :) had looovely music which drew me into a slightly pensive mood but good music nonetheless, and a yummy drink. anyway, took the rest of the morning off to have my personal retreat and it was a really good time of slowing down and taking time to be still and listen and seek and connect with God. i think the most amazing thing about it was how i was led to grab Ordering your Private World with me just before i left the house. (yes, i've said for awhile now abt how i shd get down to reading it but i haven't until today. in fact, i've had it in my drawer since Dhoby returned it like a mth ago? haha) anyway, so i got down to reading it and i hadn't even made it thru the Forward when i realized this book was exactly what i needed to be reading. then the PReface nailed it and now i'm hooked. there's just SO much truth in this book and it's SO relevant tho the pages are all yellow and brown at the edges. everything i've read spoke directly to things i've had questions about and been praying about and i felt my spirit quicken within me coz i knew this was one of those books tt u know will leave u changed when ur done. i really can't put it in words...but yah. i'm always left amazed and in awe when God speaks so clearly :) so i'm excited. and finally, what i know in my head about how being apart is good and all is slowing beginning to be internalized as God leads me on this journey. so yup...i'm off to a good start. Number one thing i've committed to memory: Beward of the barrenness of a busy life. hahaand on top of that, i'm part of a new club which well...consists of just kel and i for now. hahaha
