On the Day of Freedom!

1 week back and finally a day off for rest on 4th July.

Despite having more than 8 hours of sleep I still find myself tired, I don't suppose that it is due to jet lag. I decided to do some shopping today for some groceries and suddenly found myself thinking of home again. It's getting hot here in New York and the weather reminds me of home, which in a way left me fuzzy over reality of my trip home as if I did not traveled between countries.

I am sort of happy being back in New York to an extent. It is almost being back into something familiar and in control. But memories of home keeps coming back to me for the past few days, finding myself readjusting back to a different lifestyle. I kept thinking about my parents, especially my mom. Then I thought about the whole family and what brought us back together in a bond that is rather hard to explain. Then I thought about the friends that I met up again and the new things that are happening in their lives. I truly believed that God had me fulfilled what He wanted me to do there. Even in regards to church, and my calling.

I really have moved on to something really different. This whole journey not just the recent few years but with all that is building up, including the short trip back to Wichita, everything is pointing me towards a life that is threaded on a winding path and narrow gate. I used to think that being a Christian has brought me to the track of going through the winding path and narrow gate but, not as much as what I see today that it becomes more and more like what it is described in the bible.

I love my family, I would not be here without the sacrifice of my family. Even as I see some of my peers who are straying away from their faith, and God with His unfathomable grace has led me closer to Him, I cannot help but to be awe by His sovereignty and His blessings through the obedience of my parents.

God is a forgiving God, God is one that lavishes His children more than we could ever expect and ask for. God brings people into our lives that edify and blesses us and God is ever faithful even when we are unfaithful to Him. To you who is ever faithful and special, I thank God for bringing you into my life.
