No Substitute

I am embarking on a new phase of my life.. and this couple of weeks is really just the transition time.. before the rest of it takes wing!

It's a season of relationships.. have been and will be meeting up with my old friends from secondary school and uni etc.. surreal.. how far we've come. With yinwei's first child.. i am awakened once again at how we are no longer school girls.. but women with responsibilities.

Despite the fact that we are all grown with responsibilities of our own in different ways, there is still a freedom in me.. that doesn't have these responsibilities weighing me down, but rather allowing them to be a part of me and shaping me and even lifting me.

i am excited for this new season of life.. but also apprehensive!! I am afraid, but i cling on to the One i trust most. Moments i feel like I am shutting my eyes and grabbing hold of the arms of Jesus and i dare not open my eyes! The only thing i want to know is that He is there with me and that's all I want and care about. I only want to know that He is there where I am.. I don't ever want to be anywhere else. Not that i don't want adventure.. I do, I love it! But only with Him by my side. I want rest and quietness. But only if He is also there. I want not only to live for Him.. but with Him. THAT alone , is abundant life. No Substitute.
