Culture and Identity

Blessed by the speaker's sermon on Majoring in major things.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33

Seychelles

The very delayed honeymoon entry:

Marcus did a lot of research prior to the trip as there isn't a direct flight from Singapore to Seychelles. We boarded Sri Lankan airlines and transited at Colombo. The journey time was about 10 hours (Seychelles is 4 hours behind local time).

We were swiftly introduced to our hill view pool villa upon check in at Banyan Tree Seychelles. Impressive property!!

Drank their locally produced still water the 5 days we were on the island. Great hospitality, exotic fruits (coco de mer), clear waters. We were on half board so we normally have a hearty breakfast in the morning followed by dinner at 7pm.

In between pockets of free time in the afternoon, we chilled by our private pool and also opted for day tours around the island.

We tried to catch the gorgeous sunrise and sunset every other day. Romantic (: Treasured each moment so much!

I have more photos uploaded on Facebook.
The food we ate, the places we visited.

As this stay was part of the honeymoon package, we received gifts, fruit basket, wine, champagne and romantic setups in the villa every other day. This villa stay is by far the most extravagent holiday of my life, ever. But it was worth every bit of our money.. I am super thankful to have shared this special memory with you (:

Beyond

You promised the lost will return to You 
You said that all will bow down to You 
Lord I believe 

I give my heart and my soul to You 
I lay my life down for You to use 
I trust in You 


Lord let me see 
Beyond all I believe 
Use my hands and feet 
Use me for Your glory 


Open my eyes to see Your plan 
Place within me this dream where the lost return to You 
I want to see beyond all I ever knew 
To see the lost come back to You 


I will go I will go 
Send me to the nations of the world 
Break my heart for the lost 
Send me to bring this dying world Your love
