Visa, VISA, Tweety, and Moving

Yesterday I received the news that my visa is sorted. Hurra! :) Received all my documents back today. I was told it would take 12 weeks. We pulled strings and pray that it would be sorted quicker. Amazingly it only took 2 weeks instead. Thank God for that! I don't fancy waiting around doing "nothing" here for longer than necessary...

On the subject of Visa, last Christmas I received a pre-paid VISA card with the Tweety picture on it. Though I've spent the $$ at KIT, I'm keeping the card as it's so cute.

Years ago my cousin gave me a bag in the shape of Tweety's head. I loved it and carried it everywhere until a pickpocket took my wallet on the bus in Singapore. I lost my bankcards and student pass amongst other things. You see, the bag didn't have a zip. Since then I don't carry bag that doesn't have a zip on it.

Back to the subject of moving. We've decided to go up to the Southern hemisphere again for a few years. Don't know exactly where we're going to settle yet, it all depends on where hubby gets a job. In a way not knowing what lies ahead makes life more exciting. Can be scary at times...

Nevertheless, God has proven time and time again that He's faithful. He provides all our needs. With the benefit of hindsight I could see His hands in everything that happens in my life. I can even say that my relationship with hubby started with God as the matchmaker. But that's another story.

I hope I don't come across as a religious freak. I believe in God and I'm not ashamed to say it. I do feel ashamed with some brands of "Christianity" that do stupid things using God's name. I guess every religions has it's bad points...

So that's my various thoughts of the day. Now I've got to go back to sorting stuffs ready for the move. One thing to look forward to: I'm meeting a very special person next week. I'm very excited about it. Stay in tune for more news! :)

Vicky Beeching

I haven't listened to my music collections for a while. The other day I listened to "Painting the Invisible" album by Vicky Beeching, my favourite singer/songwriter.

Whenever I sing this song I change the words "twenty-six" into whatever age I'm at. Yeah, I'm not twenty six anymore... :)

"I don't know what the future holds
All that lies beyond my horizon
The years ahead are just out of sight
Well I think sometimes that You hide them
So that I'll walk by faith and not sight
So I'll take Your hand holding tight

Through twenty-six summers and twenty-six winters
I've laughed in the spring time
I've cried in the rain
Though I've questioned the meaning
Of some of life's seasons
It's true that they've left me holding on tighter to You

My one desire for the road ahead
Is that we would walk it together
Friend and King, You're my everything
May I stay by Your side forever
For when my heart's afraid, You're near
Whispering to my soul, "don't fear"

And I will trust in You alone
For You're the hand leading me home...

I've spent twenty-six summers and twenty-six winters with You
Through all of the seasons
And my search for reasons
You've carried me through
I will keep holding on to You."

(Twenty-Six Summers, Vicky Beeching, 2007)

Yes, God, I'll keep holding on to You! :)
