He remembers your dreams. Every child-like, seemingly insignificant dream, He holds them steady in the palms of His hands, and keeps them ever before Him. He never forgets, even when we do. Such is the Father who wants our best, more than we want our best. — This was a full circle moment for me. When I was a young Christian, I remember sweatily baring my heart out in small room in the dusk of many a night. I had many dreams, many of which are coming back to life for me this season. This is one of them. Waking up on the morn before this portion of the trip, I remember that as a 18/19 y.o kid sharing that one day I wanted to praise and worship God on a mountain (no not Bukit Timah)(but yes I’ve done that), and I remember that it was also because of this song. “Did you feel the mountains tremble? Did you hear the oceans roar?” Back then, this song bore no remarkable significance other than me being a kid wanting to sing to God a song having the word mountain in it while on an actual mountain. I’m not kidding on this 😂 So as I stood there and sang over His chosen people and land, overlooking such a vast expanse of open space that brings such sweet release to a Singaporean’s soul, these many years of adventures dawned on me, some of passioned destiny, and many of joyful exuberance born out of child-like desires to simply enjoy this life He has given the way He intends it. This was a full circle moment. This was the culmination of a dream and the seed for many more. You are who You are, and You are so faithful. You’ve been so and You won’t stop now 🏔 — #levisrael #keiwview #thankkeiw https://www.instagram.com/p/Bokd3tqlQUlNTv2UoQc8kqoZgPUmeaEYbDSR4M0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1teque34veys5

k e i t h L E V I w o n g — Levi (Hebrew) - Joined/Attached (English) — “Keith, the tribe of Levi was not given an allotment of land, because their lot was with Me. . They were given access to My presence anywhere and everywhere in a time when My presence only resided in the tent, the cloud, the temple. . Likewise, no land I have given to you, except that My presence is always with you, wherever you go.” — Deut 10:9 “Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, just as the LORD your God promises him.” — The story of how this name came is a Long one, so I’ll just share this: In your name is His identity for you, and identity is linked to His destiny in you, all of which have been written and planned since before the foundation of time. To me, this name made sense of my entire life in ways I never knew until this trip. — What’s your name? — #levisrael https://www.instagram.com/p/BobVtcLnIFHWUdNmXdsgAisuxF_iTkm2VrxzNg0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sdijixzko64i

If this adventure doesn’t leave you at a loss of words... then I ask for an even grander adventure for each of you. And then I ask just as a kindred spirit shared, that these are the kind of experiences that stay with you forever, that when we go back home, this is what we sing of and this is what we speak of, and asked that God give us language that we may relive this experience again and again and let this revelation evolve, so that when we share, people immediately catch the spirit and the heart behind it (@electropopsicles, Israel, 2018/5778). — Abba, blow us away, sweep us off our feet, leave us breathless and wordless as we gaze upon the awe and majesty in child-like wonder of You. And then, give us Your Language, to tell Your Story, and build Your Kingdom here. — I half-joked that I was going home to the Fatherland. So why was I so surprised when God took me seriously and showed me how Kingdom Family looked like? . He calls His Prodigal Children to come home, He is calling for fathers and mothers to receive them. He is calling for families to reconcile. He is calling for generations to unite unto Him. . He is calling the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers (Malachi 4:5-6). — Even as we touched down from the airport yesterday, I commented to @carmewawa, “It feels like this Israel trip hasn’t ended yet,” and she just laughed. . What a familiar emotion in us all. #levisrael https://www.instagram.com/p/BniVQOzBvtY1eptuJjwj2SSt1UhzChz35baTLI0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d4nh2xsf184a

~Where all the streams flow as one river~ ~To wash away our brokenness~ Israel, oh Israel, Come home, sweet child Come back from the wild You’ve been fighting on your own for too long Come home, sweet child — So surreal that it’s hard to believe it’s all real, but fortunately it’s Israel so it’s most definitely real. — Where do we go from here? Only Abba knows And it is beautiful. #Levisrael https://www.instagram.com/p/Bndtq2QnHQ5DCl0TJbNRD28itDlLeff9kqaNOc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1otgtrskelnak

That I've also encountered, but in this case I could actually see the fireworks from where I was.
