dream (ship)

Last night, i dreamt that i was on a ship which was out of control, headed towards shore, and threatening to destroy everything in its path. There was a growing momentum, increasing fear, spiralling to a climax.

Just as it was about to hit something (i don't know what - but it seemed like a building), and barely an inch away from impact, everything came to a standstill. There was such peace and calm.

This is certainly divine intervention. Timely help. In the nick of time.

I'm still reeling from the amazing grace of God.

I think it's more than just a dream.

this is for mum (on a day after her birthday, which happens to be mine)

Thanks for being such a wonderful and understanding mum. I enjoy talking to you as you provide different perspectives of situations and people.

I love sharing family birthday celebrations with you - makes our special days even more special. I love shopping for clothes together, and going for facials with you.

You taught me to serve the Lord from a tender age - i was holding up cards for scripture memory and songs when you taught sunday school. You encouraged me to keep learning and learning - piano, singing, typing, counseling skills, etc., even craft work and floral arrangements (but i was never very good with my hands and with careful work such as knitting).

I see how you encourage others so patiently, and are so loving to people from all walks of life, without expecting anything in return.

I cannot count the things i have learnt from you, more from how you do things and treat people, than what is actually spoken and taught.

I love you, mum. Thank you for giving me life, and also showing me how to live my life.
