Yes! Finally! The New Apartment!

Not exactly how I envisioned spending my weekend. I would have rather slept in late and laze around the whole day but we had to move everything to our new apartment in one day. Now we're at the 11th floor with a marvelous view of the city and the hillside forest (there's a huge graveyard there too).

We were previously staying on the 1st floor and we had to pack and lug everything up to the 11th floor. Thank God for lifts. Speaking of lifts, when we were staying on the first floor (we never had to use the lifts) everyone were practically strangers and we would rarely bump into any of the other residents. Needless to say, chatting with neighbours was non-existent. But interestingly enough, while we were moving, we came into contact with a whole lot of the other residents and talked as if we were old buddies. One even had a dog named 'Rufus', a huge 11-month old puppy that was very friendly and tried to hump my leg. Needless to say, the owner was embarrassed but we had a good laugh about it. All that contact from using the lift. It was as if there was an unsaid 'the fellowship of the lifts' thingee going on.

It has been awhile since my last update. I have been busy with organizing and going for surveys. Met this interesting agent, Stephen. Accompanied me for one of the surveys, a biomedicine graduate. Used to work in the hospital, ran his own business and now he's a full-time general and life insurance agent.

Time was also spent with my dad as well. He's now back in Nigeria though. He said he would be returning for good in December.

Had an amazing week at church too. David Oh preached. Pastor Kevin was away. I was really ministered by his sermon. It really brought me back to the basics. If it's one thing I will remember it would be 'you cannot continue giving unless you're being filled, unable to love without receiving the love of Christ'. That opened my eyes to the reason behind all my frustrations up to this point. I have not been receiving. I was a lump of a cynical mass that refused to accept that God, and his people can love because they simply want to and not because they're hungering for your offering or want to indoctrinate you with their teachings so as to manipulate you. Is this the beginning of the uprooting of that bitter root? I sure hope so.

My limbs feel like they're going to fall apart anytime soon. It's back to work.

p/s: Should I get a brand new desktop or that flashy new acoustic guitar? hmmm
