It’s confirmed. I have a wanderlust. And what’s the best thing is that God is giving me the desires of my heart and be able to travel to places I thought I could only visit in my dreams. I have a trip tomorrow for 3 weeks and what am I doing?
I haven’t been to Caribbean but I have seen a lot of beautiful photos of the place. Caribbean is one of the best place to go in scuba diving and snorkelling.
Anyways, Caribbean is one of those beautiful places in my wish-list-to-go.
Hubby is coming back tomorrow. He’s gone to Phuket for work. He’s taking a team from South Africa to visit the Sea Gypsies project in the south of Thailand. He’s been away for 5 days now. I am missing him like crazy. I just thank God for hi-tech communications nowadays. We can easily get in touch with people we love, even they’re far away.
I need to do a quick house cleaning. Our ceiling fans are dusty again. Sometimes, once a week cleaning is not enough. Good thing though that my parents are here. My mom is so good with house cleaning. It’s as if she doesn’t get tired of doing housework. I can never be like her. I can only try.
Anyways, I’m gonna see hubs for a few hours only tomorrow coz in the afternoon, I’m off to Hatyai for my parents’ visa extension. Now it’s my turn to be away.
My original plan was for my parents to stay here for one month. I thought it would be a good idea for them to be away from their normal routine. And of course, for them to enjoy their grandchildren. But I think I enjoy their stay more than I thought I would. So I asked them if they would like to extend their stay here. And they agreed since they don’t have anything to do in the Philippines.
So I am planning another trip out of the country. And no, we’re not going to one of those cruises although I so wish to do that. Instead, we’re taking a train to Hatyai, stay there for a few days and come back to Malaysia so that my parents will be given one more month to stay with us.
If everything goes according to the plan, that will be so.
“Trust in the LORD and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you your heart’s desires.
Commit everything you do to the LORD.
Trust him, and he will help you.”
—Psalm 37:3–5
view in context
Encouragement for Today
Isn’t this what we crave most—to live safely in the land and prosper? This verse tells how to effect that: trust in the Lord and do good. Delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord, and trust him. For what specific things do you need to trust God today? What good things can you do? Commit your “to do” list to God today, and trust him to help you. (And make a note of how he does, for future encouragement!)
—Diane Eble, author of Abundant Gifts: A Daybook of Grace-Filled Devotions
I am having a desire right now. But whatever it is, only God knows. I know He knows what’s deep in my heart right. The desire is so great but I can’t tell you what it is. I can only hope. I can only trust. It’s something to do with travel. It’s not one of those great Orlando vacations. It’s something more.
We all can just trust in God. But whatever the outcome, I know that He knows best. The answer might be yes and I would count it as a great blessing. The answer could be wait. Whatever. Only He knows.
I know I am still in Camerons mode. What to do… the place was just awesome. It’s a perfect place to go for retreat, family fun, and just pure holiday. So what do I love about Camerons?
1. cool weather
2. tea and scones in the middle of tea plantation
3. great view
4. beautiful people (must be the cool climate that makes them beautiful. LOL.)
5. water falls
6. historic hotels
7. steam boat
8. indian food at Kumar’s, especially the banana leaf food. super delicious!
I don’t mind going back there over and over again.
