Bring my broken pieces to Him

Today i have been reflecting on broken relationships. Yes, actually i have been reflecting for a long time already. only today it's more objective rather than subjective.
I visited a friend who just had an operation. We had lunch with her and her husband and the topic of divorce came up. Apparently during their courtship, they had broken up for a month. During which period of time she had been unable to accept it and kept calling him and was told "i don't love u anymore" (sounds familiar??) He says, " you can still remember it after so long?" (they have been married for 5 years) She says " it hurt so bad that i can't forget it. "
which struck me cos even though they are happily married with 2 kids now, she still can't forget the hurt so how much more the hurt when a relationship with someone you love is broken.
i sometimes feel the hurt too much to bear, but when i think about it logically, i have replaced that relationship with the love of many friends; so many people who have supported and loved me and were just with me through this difficult time. Giving up 1 person for some many people - sounds mathematically better. Cos this is after going thro a long heartache.
to my friends .... thank you. you know who you are.
Another thought. Suffering the broken relationship reminds me of our broken relationship with God and even more i want to mend this relationship.

My prayer today is that God will heal and help open my eyes to the blessings around me.

I spent the weekend with friends. It is amazing that when one is away and alone, we form new bonds with friends whom you may not be with otherwise when back home. The sense of bonding together when you are away from family and friends is just great. Saturday was spent in hunter's valley. There is a festival there called lovedale long lunch. 7 vineyards come together to organise a day of wine and dine. You buy a wineglass and then you can taste wine at all 7 vineyards and $20 for a main meal and $8 for dessert. You can hop from one vineyard to another either eating a main or desert or just tasting wine. There are bands outside playing and a whole group of people sitting under the sun eating and dancing. The atmospher is just great. I went with a friend from singapore and her 2 friends from college. After that we proceeded home where we had laksa and bah ku teh, all done by ourselves! And we ate with relish. Sunday was newcomers lunch at a elders' house. It was a great time of fe

What i didn't do this weekend and what i did

This was a long weekend and like many sydneysiders, i was planning a trip out to Dubbo with friends. However, there was torrential rainfall and storms in NSW this weekend too, destroying many people's plans to go out of town. It was quite scary - as we speak, the death toll is up to 9 and there are still floodings going on in parts of NSW. There was a section of highway that collapsed and sent a family of 5 down into the river and they all died. Watch this video. Someone said that this showed the wrath of God. http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/scp_v3/viewer/index.php?pid=16471&rn=248153&cl=2957725&ch=885604 So what did i do in the end? We had hotpot at April and Kenneth's place. with a little alcohol - or a lot depending on who you were. Just the right food for the weather.

Woman of the world unite!

Just came back from the Woman's Katoomba Convention. It was great, a weekend of worship and learning and just people getting together. 2000 women together and totally committed to God. I think it's great. It's great that we can still get great teaching when a group of women come together. Many times, when women come together, it's to learn to cook or knit or watch crazy videos or even worse - to gossip. So it's refreshing that we can learn from God's word together effectively without the men! Relaxing in the lovely blue mountain air and sunshine and enjoying His creation.
