Hugh Palmer said today (not verbatim):

"We must be very careful not to neglect the bible out of carelessness. The scripture is God speaking sufficiently and supremely."

Travel log- Norway

Norway was awesome! But I'm getting a little confused with the whole traveling idea. It's so easy to fall in believing that traveling is a journey of self discovery- planning your trip, hitting the road, meeting strangers who then become your friends, living out of a ruck sack, sleeping anywhere that'll take you, abandoning your plans and going to anywhere and everywhere you want to. Such a compelling idea no? Kinda similar to the Age of Aquarius and the hippie movement.

Very romantic, but it also reeks of self-sufficiency I'd say. In all honesty, I'm a sucker for these sort of things. Which makes it extra dangerous for me in my travels (and I say this in a very honest way). Please pray for me as I travel that I won't make my travels about discovering myself, but instead discovering God- to see the wonders of his creation, to see the creativity of the maker of heaven and earth and to praise and seek Him that made all these things.

Meanwhile, here are some pictures of Norway that testifies of His glory!


The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament
sheweth his handywork- Ps 19:1

It begins!!

I'll be headed to Oslo tomorrow. From Oslo, I'll head to Stavanger where I'm hoping to visit kjeragbolten, a boulder wedged between two cliffs. I'm really praying that the weather will hold! The rain would probably spoil the trip as well as some potentially great photos. =)

Finally the traveling has started, yet I think I'm a little distracted =/.

Dear friends and family, please do pray for me that my period of traveling won't be wasted, but instead be a time of preparation for me before I head back home, both mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It's going to be a big change. Pray for journey mercies too!
