Ties that Bind

We've been back in Sydney for a week now. It was a bit strange to enter our Sydney apartment again after being away for 2 months. It was familiar, yet foreign.

Roger's Greek and Hebrew intensives started this week and will end on Monday. Lectures will soon follow. A friend moved in with us, and will be staying with us for a fortnight. Another close friend, has delievered her second baby two nites ago. It has been a flurry of activities since we got back. Some have been predictable, some have been 'shocking', like having to take part in an 'Iron Chef' competition when I was expecting a harmless gathering at a church friend's house. =P

Still, we fondly reminicise the blessed vacation we had in Singapore. Celebrating and giving thanks for the ties that bind.

Roger's parents and us.

Fun with Chinese poetry (May Hsin's mother was reading a verse from the painting on the wall)

We are truly thankful for the love and care showered upon us while we were in Singapore. Thank you so much for your generousity in terms of time and gifts (Charis had more clothes then we did on our trip back).

And with endearing thoughts of family, friends and food from Singapore. We look ahead, praying that we'll be faithful in what we have to do. Thank you for being with us in this journey.
