Because I have been MIA for far too long.

Ok, Ok. I know it's late but it's here.

I don't really know what I'm going to write about. I just know I'm going to write.So be forewarned.

I was thinking about writing about that last chapter in the 'Pray Big' book but I can't for the life of me remember what it was on. And it doesn't help that I left it on my shelf back in Melbourne.

"Payper lama, tut tut tut tut tut tut, sao tao po chi. Ow nus-payper, payper lama..."

Sorry, I couldn't resist. The truck that collects old newspapers just wheezed-by my area and all the dogs in the neighborhood started howling. I realise that I haven't heard that in a while.

Well, on to more significant things.

It has always amazed me how God is with you anywhere you are. Whether you are stuck in K.L. traffic, wanting to artfully murder the person in front of you, or at some H.K. cafe at Glen Waverley paying for an overpriced bowl of hor fan (kuew teow or the white flat noodles); He is there.

And just knowing that, even when I don't feel it, is enough. It makes me pray when I am aware that God is here-wherever that here maybe. And I don't always hear something. I don't always feel something. But believing that he's around makes all the difference.

Something about his omnipresence makes me want to smile. It's like I can feel comfortable with him around. We can just be quiet and not feel obligated to do or say a certain something.

So yes, today, I will choose to enjoy, treasure, and just bask in God's presence. :)


p.s. I miss you guys! And I will pay for overpriced hor fan in Melbourne just to spend time with you! :D
