who'z this ewe?

Thats me!!

Am this sheep wandering in the pasture that is this world. The pasture is not necessarily always green, due to the ewe's, hopefully, infrequent waywardness and stubborness...sometimes missing out on the shepherd's voice. Thankfully the shepherd's rod and staff always finds it, even if its at the last minute, guiding it away from the cliffs and up from the valleys, back to the pasture that had been prepared for its homecoming. =)

For those of you who share a relationship with God and Jesus, you would be familiar with the above scenario. Yes, the ewe could have been you too! But in this blog, thats me. You see, I have never been able to empathise more with the ewe than before.

Since graduating from postgrad school just a month or so ago, I have decided, by choice, that i will not attempt to find a job here in London, given various considerations.

Some background: Calling Singapore my home, I've been based in London for the past two years with hubby YL, and we've got one more year to go, before he finishes his PhD studies. I've been a lady of leisure in the first six months here, worked in the next six months, and then did fulltime postgrad studies in the next one year, till last september'04. Now, its time for a "break", again! Given that we'll be going home to Singapore at least twice next year (for personal reasons) before returning there for good, there isn't much sense in getting a proper job in view of the various interruptions.

So, this ewe has never been more "relaxed" and having nothing "proper" to do than in the past. I really feel like the sheeps that i see as we drive past the English countryside, just grazing and resting!!

I have therefore decided to set up this blog to chart my year ahead. Not necessary of the activities that I/we do, but sometimes just putting down my thoughts...on anything! Hopefully, it gives me an outlet to think aloud. And, as I re-read my thoughts later, i pray that God would shine His light onto it and show me how I should inch on in my life...

Song currently playing [Jesus, Be the Centre, by Michael Frye, Copyright 1999 Vineyard Songs]:

"Jesus, be the centre,
Be my source,
be my light, Jesus.

Jesus, be the centre,
Be my hope, be my song,
Jesus.

Be the fire in my heart,
Be the wind in these sails;
Be the reason that I live,
Jesus, Jesus.

Jesus, be my vision,
Be my path,
be my guide, Jesus."

Dear Jesus, I dedicate this song as a prayer unto you, as I begin this morning and launch this blog...may my ewe'z thoughts and walk be guided by You each day. Help me to hear from You.
i love You.
