Getting There
Welcome to Singapore
Singapore City
Telunas
If I had a dollar for every time one of us has said "Wow," or "This is so incredible," or the like, we could probably afford to come back next summer. I mean, it doesn't get better than this. This is our chalet:
And this is the view from our balcony:
Each morning, we are served our hot beverage of choice (coffee for Husband, tea for me):
And a glorious array of breakfast foods. During the day, we have hiked in the jungle, kayaked, and walked along the beach, but mostly we have enjoyed the sun and scenery. One morning we got up, went to breakfast, and then took naps in the hammocks until lunch time.
Husband also read a book! Whoohoo! And one night, a guest caught what they thought was a sea snake, but ended up being an eel. They were able to free it and return it to the ocean, but what excitement!
Best of all, though, I have gotten to spend some good, quality time with my dear cousin, who has been overseas for the last 14 years. She was still working during our visit, but we were able to snatch some moments talking and praying together. She is one of the people I admire most on the planet.
And my favorite night was when they brought out the guitar and we sat in the midst of one of the most beautiful displays of God's creation. Under the stars with our faces to the sea, we praised His Name together, and I was again reminded, as I am every time I leave the US, of the passage in Revelation chapter 7:
I looked again. I saw a huge crowd, too huge to count. Everyone was there—all nations and tribes, all races and languages. And they were standing, dressed in white robes and waving palm branches, standing before the Throne and the Lamb and heartily singing: Salvation to our God on his Throne! Salvation to the Lamb!
What an incredible way to close out our trip.
We hope to come back some day!
