Homecoming

I never understood what Homecoming actually was in the American High School calender. I mean it's a big thing right... but until recently, had no idea what took place. (For those of you like me, Homecoming is basically an event, usually in the Fall, where Alumni will return to their High school, watch a football game and attend a dance afterward.)

Anyway, I'm going home...innnnn...FOUR DAYS?! OMG I haven't packed yet!! Heh. Well yes, I'm actually not stressed about it, M took back some stuff for me, and I still have 2 suitcases that will probably only be half full. I have to leave behind my VCDs and DVDs incase the Australian customs thinks they are illegal...(they aren't) and so yeah. I think I'll also leave all my other potentially contraband items too.

I leave HK with a mix of sadness and expectation... which I suppose is normal. On one hand, I really want to stay, on the other, I know that God's plan for me is always beyond awesome... and so I choose to follow the plan, even if it's taking me away. Although I know there are a few people praying for me to come back! LOL.

I wonder what Melbourne will be like for me now... especially considering the wave of "coupleness" that I hear has spread throughout the churches... ahh summer... it's coming around again... but I seriously dislike the summer =D.

The next 3 days will be memorable... I can foresee this...

a long silence

So... I haven't really felt that I've had anything really of note to blog in the past few weeks... indeed it's been 21 days since my last post... a full 3 weeks... and even my mum started to worry. She was most relieved when I responded to her e-mail, even if it was 3 days later than my usual instant response.

Nothing earth-shattering, or even interesting to talk about really... I suppose as I move closer to that "leaving" date, things start to slow down and even my relationships with people start to change. Once again I'll be moving on from one place... and it makes me wonder if I'll really be doing this my whole life. In this latest move, my last earthly point of reference, family, was gone... and really, truly, the only constant in my life... is God...

(I mean seriously, the water tastes different, the food is WAY not the same... and the air is so much dirtier here...)

I suppose being human, I need more than that... and God has very graciously provided for me, especially over the last few years, despite all my mistakes... but one of my friends here said I think about marriage too much, even at my young age, and after thinking about it... for almost a week now... I'd have to disagree. Marriage is the single biggest decision of your life, after choosing to love Jesus, and that's more of a response than a choice... relationships and stuff takes more self-prep, self-understanding, wisdom, and of course a miracle from God (cause honestly why would any amazing girl would go for a guy like me? Yes that was a joke ;).

Marriage/relationships/girls don't consume my thoughts, or my life, or even my actions for that matter (though they do take up a large number of my conversations) ... and I think it's important to be searching... For "A wife of noble character who can FIND? She is worth far more than rubies" (Prov 31:10)

Cause I'm sure any girl would agree with me, it is not good for man to be alone... often guys left to their own devices do stupid and silly things...
