Well its just 11 days away from my departure to Perth, Australia. So many people have been asking me why I’m actually going to Aussie. And of course, there’s been a series of guesses on my reasons for going to aussie. I’ve had guesses of an exchange trip, school attachment, mission trip, finding a girlfriend and the guesses and humor just keeps going on and on.
I am going to aussie to actually just really relax and do loads of reflections. The whole trip is basically for God alone and my desire to draw closer to him. And in many ways, its an investment in just giving 6 weeks of my time to God alone. This trip would also give me an opportunity to really experience that wholesome love of God even more. Its just like a holiday with God. And I think unknowingly, it underlines the importance of God to me.
So here’s the full details of my trip:
Venue: Perth, Australia
Duration: 5th March to 16 April (6 weeks)
Departure: 5th March – Budget Terminal @ 2.30pm
Arrival: 17th April - Budget Terminal @ 3.00am
Reason: GOD

The deep desire of Love
There lies in me a deep desire to search and execute the many beliefs and visions I have in my heart. And in many ways, these visions and beliefs are thoughts that we as people of God may have maybe just stopped believing in due to the attractions of the world & the pressures that life throws at you. I’m not sure if you may have felt this way before.
It could be that vision of infinite love that we would want to experience everyday. But then again, no one can ever give that sort of Love except God. And there have been a million instances when I question God if it’s possible for someone to exhibit that sort of love or even whether it can ever exist? But what then again, what is your perception of that infinite love.
Today, as I just have a look at where we are as children of God, an element of sadness dawns upon me, as everyday I encounter so many of us wearing mask or putting on fronts for the world so that we may not be judged for who we really are. And as there have been so many times when this reflection point comes to mind, I just start to wonder what a world of truth & love would be like. And every single time, the conclusion of how we are being resistant to our feelings, desires and visions. But have we become resistant because of the world and the need to conform to the ways of the world? Have we lost the desire to follow our hearts or have we conformed to the safer way to just follow what the world teaches & instructs us?
But quite amazingly, in this weekend’s gospel, Jesus himself becomes amazed at the faith & persistence of 4 guys to ensure their paralytic friend becomes healed by healer. The reflection of how the 4 guys just never gave in to their inability to enter the place through the front door. But instead went beyond all possibilities and climbed up to the roof to come into the building. This just brings my reflections how much we just lack faith and instead conform and give up after facing so many road blocks to execute our visions and beliefs. And the main vision for me is to bring to everyone the sort of love that God himself lavishes unto us freely.
So I praise God for these reflections because it’s taught me to strive to never give in to the ways of the world & pressures of this life. It becomes a crime unto God that we commit if we conform. I mean if God believes in us so much to be the best we can then, how can we not have faith in ourselves to be the best we can.
This weekend I have learnt once more that it takes effort to get what we truly belief in our hearts. So I pray that we will trust our hearts and be always guided by the Spirit of God! And may you portray the Love of God to one extra person as soon as you're read this post!
Praise God!
