When I say that this is my final term and I really got to fully enjoy and treasure my time in TTC, never in my wildest imagination that I will get to fly kites! YES!!! KITES!!!! It was sooo super fun and funny!!!! Hahhahhaha ..... Li's msn status : "scream like xiao cha bo .. how to be gentle ... but very good feeling leh ...erm... xiao cha bo?gentle?.... K .... choose xiao cha bo .... waahhhaaa" So, u can imagine the fun and noise we had yesterday ..... It's still ringing in my ear "Run Li, run .... run Li ..... "LOL .. yes ... 2 hock-chew ladies like xiao cha bo running and screaming in the plains .... I echo Li's words --- "but very good feeling leh"
Anyway, the gang of us headed out for the Quarry Grass-Land after quick dinner ..... Tu - Dr Kite (the organizer & initiator), Li - the "gentle"one, Jeng - the "smart" one -- dont want to go at first but when hear the names of those going ....quick2 "jump"into our boat, Ah Yi - the one hail from Yale ... (any fellowship time, fun time, makan time, play time ... all want to join), Cep .. the cool one ... (steady bro ... the one who resurrected the dead bird, bring down the arrogant eagle and can fly the kite and talk on the fon at the same time" ... Candy .... the happy one (always happy when go play, shopping and eating... n off cos super happy w new camera ... one show off ... hehehe ... then left cable in Kuching ... now pix all stuck inside the camera...LOL) .... and Andreas ... the big guy (last minute join us ... but no regret right? .. n of cos .. our best photographer)
Thank God it was windy yesterday .... so, we really could fly our kite (at least one of our kites) high2 ... the feeling is AWESOME ... just to hold the string of the kite and letting it "freely" fly where the wind is blowing ... and when the wind direction change or slows down, we have to pull back the string or run to "catch" the wind (off course Tu will also come to rescue us -- "blow" some wind to us).
This is the metaphor of our lives - we are "free" to live our lives ...go to any direction where we the Spirit of the Lord is leading us ... and how do we know where the Spirit of the Lord is leading us .... we sense and discern it like how we sense the direction the wind is blowing. Like the wind, there will be evidences where it is blowing .. we can feel it, our hair will follow the direction where the wind is blowing .... But the most important thing to remember in our journey is that our life, our heart, we must be attached to God and the string must to be held and controlled by God. Then, when there is danger (where the kite may get caught among the branches) ... God will direct us to a safe place ... when the direction of wind is changing - the season of our life is change ... God draw us back closer to Him .... and re-direct us again ... when we are steady .... He will release us to soar high again .... and when our injured or hurt in our journey or when we get tangled up in living .... He will bring us to the ground to untangle us, repair, heal and restore us. Lastly, if we carry too much weight (our past, our worries, our anxieties etc) we cannot soar high, enjoy the view from high above and let our spirit soar as well.
At the end of the day .. like the kite, our Maker will draw is into Him.... draw us back ... it is then we will need to face our Maker .... and make an account of the things that we have seen, places that we have "soared" .. things that we have done ... It will be time then to completely end the season of our journey here .... and cross over to another adventure that our Maker will lead us to eternally .....
Li, this is the lesson I draw from kite flying day ...
Ah Yi said kite flying is like a relationship ..... sometimes we need to let go, sometimes we need to draw close, sometimes we need to change direction .....
"We cant repeat the time God has given us" - this is from the Big Wise Guy.
What is the lesson that you can draw from the adventure of a kite?
