A Colorful Start

Every time I am highly strung or on a sugar crash, I pull my hair alot. When it is messy, you'll know I'm down and out. So when I finally cannot deal with solving dead problems, I say, "It's time for a haircut!"

Over the weekend, I took an express bus together with Emma and Jinqi to attend church camp together. It was an enjoyable six-hour (not that express after all) journey to Melaka and the highlight had to be stopping over at Ayer Hitam for a simply bowl of delicious prawn noodles. If we turn mute one day, I think we would still be able to communicate because we can do so just be gesturing!

Though I only sat in for the last three teachings, I was thoroughly refreshed during the extended praise and worship. It was then I decided I need a fresh start all over.

So on Sunday, with the company of four kind souls who braved a tedious drive just so that I'd have transport back, I went for a haircut and allowed myself to be a specimen for the director stylist there who invented a new kind of coloring technology. In Davin's words, I've got "rainbow hair" now.

As we were driving on the North-south highway making our way home, I saw this car driving in front of us at one time that had a sticker on his window that read "When you're going the wrong direction, thank God for allowing U-turns." I looked around myself and thought, "but I'm on a highway with no U-turns!"

With that, Isaiah 35:8 came to mind and it assured me that since the day I decided to embark on a journey with God, there is no need for the existence of U-turns anymore. So long as I keep moving ahead and not make wrong, foolish exists, I will reach there. Maybe not anytime soon, but in time. Surely.
