November/December 2009 - It's been quite a
while since I've found the time to write a
personal update to those interested in my
runnings. In that time, my life has settled
more and even though I'm not there yet: it's
time for an update!
In my previous update I shared a bit
about the fact that it is absolutely
necessary to trust in the Most High at all
times, and not in our own sight (or sound).
After having been kind of homeless
(not: houseless) for two years in which I
had to travel up and down to another
continent as my home basically was scattered
over two continents, my house is my home
again.
To the fullness!
It's not just, that I'm really grateful
to not have to go to Amsterdam Airport again
to fly away for a month or so, only to come
back in order to prepare for my next flight.
That reason in itself is causing a lot of
joy and relief in my soul, obviously, as
it's really not desirable to be a dread
"from Amsterdam" and deal with
customs and immigration officers all the
time. On top of that, saying goodbye to your
loved ones all the time, as they're kind of
scattered over two continents and therefore
you'll always leave somebody behind, does
take a toll on your soul.
Not anymore, though!
The last time I went to Amsterdam Airport
wasn't to take the plane anymore, I went
straight to arrivals and took the car back
to where I live, if you know what I mean
here... Of course, a lot of things needed to
be done after that which also took a lot of
energy, but it was definitely not as
energy-taking as the period before that.
In the meantime, I've definitely landed
in what the 23rd Psalm describes as
"Green Pastures". There's
something to say about these pastures,
though. For it is so, that indeed Jah is my
Shepherd, I Shall Not Want, for He Makes
Me To Lay Down in the green pastures. In
the abundance of food, there is no need for
me to use that food. This is how Jah
satisfies my soul at this moment.
In August I was blessed to acquire access
to a very large collection of free and legal
MP3 files which I can link to straight from
the Dubroom. It was clear, that Jah had
provided this, also to make me lay down in
the green pastures. At this moment I've
written all the MP3 reviews for December,
wrote most of the columns for the same month
too, and as it looks now this will give me a
time in which I can really lay my head and
rest for a while.
I thank the Lord God Jah for everything
He does in my life, I did nothing to deserve
it but still He is my Shepherd and I shall
not want, because I have.
One Love, Give Thanks,
Messian Dread
