travels to the sun

well on my travels again after a long break (other than to see the folks)...

its january and its hot and sticky... perfect.
had a fab day with my feet in a pool, drinking an iced drink and having really good conversations with friends i miss. was perfect.

Am really looking for purpose or something for 2005, but am currently being told just to chill and let Him find me, rather than do my western running, being busy thing. life takes on a different pace here. still not used to it.
I am finding it quite strange that god is quite so 'here', i.e. accessible without a push. it completely disarms me when i turn to find him. I am looking expecting to see him a bit of a way away, when actually he may be sitting there next to me.... good. but unnerving.

Just realised this is the first blog of 2005, so happy new year. I have no idea what it holds for me, at all. I have nothing in my calender (yet, famous last words) and it feels v fuzzy. But i am looking forward to a year of joy, grace and favour (the no 5 thing...) after last years push and tears.

Exciting news though, my parents are hoping to return from the middle east after about 10 years over there. Its sooo time for them to come back and do normal things, like the garden or something. But may be a little wierd, knowing they are just a train away, rather than 5 hours away.....

so, a year full of empty space, but lots of potential. maybe for now, i'm just going to take one step at a time. otherwise i might just get scared.
