Identity journey

This dog was found on the streets near my house yesterday, unwanted and homeless. My landlord was generously embrace this dog to stay for a few days until he'll be send away to SPCC (Singapore Pets Care Centre).

While I was sleeping today, this dog was continuously crying aloud, right below the window of my room at 2nd floor. I felt this dog was so disturbing. I went down with my camera, was thinking to take a few shots of him. As I saw him, my heart melted and in tears. This dog has no friends, no family, no house, unwanted and alone. It reminded me of my past. And as I touched him gently, flatter him. I could see a strong sign of happiness shown from his body language. I've never been impressed with any dog before... but he impressed me amazingly. This dog with his big size body like a wolf, strong character outwardly but yet gentle inwardly towards touch and acceptance, open himself to be loved. Made me secure to be near him, taking picture and comforting him in the same time.

And I realize wrestling God on this identity journey will give you something unique -- your very own limp. It is a mark of the experiences you have been through as an individual on your journey. It is something that reminds you of the price you paid to bring the real 'you' to the surface. You can't copy the way someone limps after they have wrestled with God, because their style is individual to them. So I'm thanking God today for every limp in my life journey, has mold me uniquely, and I'm fearfully and wonderfully made.
