Food for Soul //

[my chickensoup]

Had the privilege to visit KL over last weekend.
My trip was so fruitful & fulfilling, my heart is so full. (but never enough)
Thinking back, I catch myself smiling hehe.

Started off with a quiet Thursday night - albeit quiet, but so precious. God knows how much the luxury of alone time without any obligations for one night alone means to me! Then escalated to a CRAZY weekend filled with back-to-back meetups. I loved every bit of it! Also met up with some Reading peeps which I didn't manage to take photo with.

Joycelyn's 20th birthday in AM/PM! :) SO happy to meet HOMIES!
Acts London-ers in Acts Subang :)

Also was extremely privileged to meet Aunty Evelynn & her mum-in-law, a meeting planned out of nowhere, courtesy of Ps Yoong. Her zeal for the Lord is crazily bubbling over every cell of her being, you can't miss it not a chance! She gifted me her book that I just finished today. Heart is full from catching a glimpse of her full onz drama life, as she relays endless stories of her walk with God that's caused her life to be SO FULL. I have so much I can learn from her.

KL has been made the home of my heart over the last year of my 3.5years there. It's uncanny how I can enter KL hating it, yet leave loving it to the extent of being heartbroken :( I miss it everyday, I miss the people, I miss church, I miss the generous opportunities Taylor's actually offers. As dreadful and angry as I was to uproot and leave, I knew I couldn't stay - Eccles 3:1 For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. - Being able to visit KL truly felt like coming home. It's uncanny because everything'd feel so familiar, yet 1 year has changed, some things remain the same, some things have drastically changed - e.g. I saw a lady I met last year, she looks the same yet now she has a baby at home!!!! :O

It feels quite surreal that the short weekend has come and gone, but I'm ever so thankful for everything. For the friendships which were strengthened and lasted, for new ones that's been forged, for glimpses of faces I've caught, for lessons to be learned. Also, uber thankful for Amanda for granting me the ideal (if not best!) accommodation to complement my plans seamlessly. :D

*God I don't know what's in it for me in the next year, but I pray that You're with me in my every single step, that You never ever leave me & forsake me, that only Your will be accomplished, that Your grace is sufficient always, that your peace guide me unceasingly, that I will be courageous like Joshua, that your perfect love casts out ALL fear & anxieties & worries, that You will use me in furtherance of your kingdom.

*Ending this post with a mission - how to love my mama more hmmm. Toodles~!
