Durians Week 1

We've just begun our durian season once more here in Glory Place. Although we had estimated that it would begin the first week of July, instead the fruits have begun to fall earlier than we had expected and now it seems that by the end of July we will finish the season indefinitely. 

You know, although I never told anyone I had thoughts that the number of durians falling would severely outweigh the number of personnel that we have to go and collect them but that is not the case, praise Yahweh! As many as were helping were as many as the number of trees that were ripening and falling at the same time. Meaning each person had to look after one tree. Of course we are just in the first week of the season so many more will begin to fall from now on, however I am assured that somehow some way Yahweh will cause all things to work together for good. Praise Yahweh. 

During the first day, it was especially tiring for me to have to go up the hill three times in a row but as the days went on my body immediately got used to it at a brisk pace. Now, I can easily go up three times everyday. Once in the morning at 8am, second time at 11am and once more at 1pm before I can be dismissed to prepare for my watch at 4pm. I had expected for myself the days to be long and arduous but they aren't. Instead I found that they're moving at a really fast pace. The days are filled with niceties and pleasantries. I am enjoying myself thoroughly.

25 Years

Yesterday was my 25th birthday, I'm 25 now. There isn't much to write home about that particular day now. Back then I used to put so much emphasis on celebrating my birthday, that we should have a party, some food and games and all that usual stuff. But as I got older or more specifically as I continued to stay here in Glory Place I didn't see the great need to celebrate it as I used to. But I'd much rather now to just have a quiet meal with my family and loved ones and I would consider that to be a birthday well spent. 

Honestly, that day passed by quite briskly and perhaps the highlight of it was when I was prayed for by Pastor Jean and she released the anointing to me. I could sense the fire coming down upon me even as she was still praying and I was beginning to sweat even though it was a cool night I felt hot. That night for the Friday overnight worship it felt real easy to worship and just to let the Holy Spirit take over. In fact, that was what happened last night so I didn't feel drained or tired out but rather I was refreshed in the presence of Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, another birthday has come and gone and now I'm 25. One step closer...
