Splendid Sunday

such a splendid Sunday i had today
so spiritual, so relaxing, so joyful
filled with encouragement, experience and knowledge

in the morning
i join a few friends in solitude
i was held at the beach early in the morning
i was hoping to see the sun rise though :p
but what i got instead is so much more

we splited up so that we can be alone
to concentrate and not distracted by anything or anyone
just being there to feel, listen or see to what the Lord have install for us
after a few moments of prayer i was ready to hear and see

at first it was nothing that come to mind
so i walk a bit more
changing view, changing location
this first significant sign i saw was a bigger bird attacking a smaller one
i see them struggling
and i feel for the smaller one
but in the end
the smaller one manage to escape from the bigger one
and the bigger didn't give chance and let it go
to me...
the massage that i got was
"there will be bigger dangers or challenge that we are going to face in life
it might come to us or we will find them
but if we have faith
no matter how big the problem is
we will make it and rise above"

then in a while
i didn't see anything
so i sat down looking at the waves
and i related the waves to myself
the waves were rough at first
just like my life was
then it became calm, slow
just like my life is peaceful now
but then... the waves gets rough before calming down again
and i thought
"the waves represents my life
i was so lost in the roughness of life
then it became calm after i accepted Christ
and i am his hands
and i am willing to face the roughness of life in His name
doing what he wants me to
according to what he has plans for me"

after that i was at peace for a while
when i open my eyes after that
the first thing i saw was a red ball thing
at the edge of my sight, far away in the sea
it came from a boat
and in a distance, there is another boat
the red ball thing begins to float away from the first boat
in the direction of the other boat
while away from the first boat
it disappears several times and reappeared again
at the same pace, i thought i will reach the other boat already
but it took such a longer time than i had imagined
the other boat also seemed to be distancing from the red ball
finally
nearly 6 times longer than i expect
the red ball reaches the other boat
the vision i got was
"my life with Christ had just begun
and i would inevitably start to leave my home, my family, my comfort zone
and the road will be rough, rocky
and on the way i,we will sway away from him
keep in mind that we do not sway away completely
and always keep ourselves on track
keep God in our hearts
at times, we might feel that we reach our goal or accomplish something
but it is not our final destination
when we arrive at out final destination
we WILL know we are there"
