Knock.
So my last entry was 13 Sep 2013. Almost 2 years ago. Days pass fast. In a flash, while waiting for no one. The world moves regardless of what happens to anyone. This can feel tragic to people who are pausing and not moving ahead. But it can also bring hope to those who are suffering at one point, to know that the suffering is not permanent and there would be an end.
And so, I was inspired to write today because my best friend in Melbourne, found the parcel that went missing for more than 6 weeks. Her birthday was in the first week of April and I was 2 weeks late in delivering her present. Still, by the end of May, I did not hear a thing from her. The dear dame went to the post office twice and did not recover anything.
Aha, a miracle happened and it still landed at her doorstep somehow. After almost 2 months. This is exhilarating considering that we had thought it was lost permanently. And it is extra special because I also recently found a watch that my bro bought from Germany for me. I thought it was lost forever but I found it after a prayer.
I thought that God must be wanting to speak to me either regarding lost & found or simply, prayer.
Prayer is important to me these days with the setbacks that some of my friends are experiencing. I have been praying for healing from mental health, miscarriages, closed wombs, grief and wisdom. Prayer is the key to opening the gate of hope. To know that someone bigger is watching over everything happening in this mortal space and willing to listen to us.
With regards to lost & found, I realised that the owners to losses in the bible, look frantically. It does not seem to describe me because I seldom commit much time and effort to searching for the lost. Maybe I never lost something that meant the world to me before. Or maybe I just learned that if it is lost so easily, maybe it was not worth the keep afterall.
Be a good keeper, I pray.
