The Amazing Thing about Church
Church has this uncanny way of calming me down and making me feel joyous, peaceful and carefree again. Somehow, upon entering church, I just feel this aura of peace. Through the praise and worship and prayer all the anxieties and disgruntlements that I have with life just quietly fade into oblivion and then I can't help but think myself silly for being caught up in things so small, so insignificant.
On another note, we had some rain today! Yay! It's been so dry in Victoria the past few years, the farmers have had to stand by helpless watching their crops wither and die. And it looks like we're heading into a dry summer as well with only 8 mm of rain recorded last month! So any rain, despite it being an inconvenience is truly welcome. It's such a novel feeling, this excitement about the rain. Back in tropical Singapore, rain's an absolute nuisance. Your clothes don't dry, you can't travel from point A to point B and if you do you'll have to bear the discomfort of slopping around in soaked squelching socks and shoes. But over here, things are so different, every single drop is eagerly anticipated and appreciated.
