Soon and very soon

Went for a stroll 2 days ago and this time to an unfamiliar neighbourhood. People here, sometimes, are so friendly that they nod even when they are on their bikes passing, or walking the dog opposite the road!

Went to city library to study yesterday and got offered biscuits by a lady. Either the lady digs me or people here are friendly. I would like to think the latter. =)

A note to disclaim, of course today all of us know we can no longer generalise or prejudge people. Not everyone here in Palmy is friendly and you can tell me that. Well I think being friendly is a choice they and we can have. And to you world readers, not every Kiwi is nice and friendly as well. Just saw on the news again police is hunting for a gunman in wellington. There has got to be the 5-6th case I hear in recent 2 months or so.

To generalise everyone here is friendly, is some sort of... discriminating? =)

Anyway, I saw this globe in the city lib and gave it a little spin to see if home is still there on earth.

Phew, it's still there..=) And this comes to the point to say that I'm coming home early next year! =)

I am staying over the summer and only would be home for a short spell this time. I love this little town that I have resided for 3 years now. I believe God has chosen this place for me to be here. At least 4 years of my entire life. So far it's looking like: Kch (17)-KL (2)-Palmy(4). I wonder where's next.... and when's next. Might not able to find out easily, but rest assured God has got it in His hands.

Indeed, my journey in palmy has been challenging, and blessed. So much aspects of life that I have learnt and seen. I know full well He has got His hands on me and is molding my character and it's on-going till I meet Him.

The song posted below is by Brooke Fraser titled 'soon' is one of my fav and it reminds me that God is God, and puts the short and temporal life in to perspective to God's eternity.

Soon and very soon
My King is coming
Robed in righteousness
And crowned with love
When I see Him, I
shall be made like Him
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon
I'll be going
To the place He has prepared for me
There my sin erased
My shame forgotten
Soon and very soon

I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I'll see
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon
See the procession
The angels and the elders
'round the throne
At His feet I'll lay my crown, my worship
Soon and very soon

Though I have not seen Him
My heart knows Him well
Jesus Christ the Lamb
The Lord of Heaven
