The road less traveled...

Have you ever been haunted The way I've been by you? And have you ever felt The measure of the days That I've spent waiting Pining for you? I can't see the sun for the daylight I can't feel Your breath for the wind I don't want to step from these shadows Till You're comin' back again I've dammed these emotions To keep my lanterns lit Shaken by this longing Coursing through my veins In my mind, I can't make sense of it Can't see the sun for the daylight I can't feel Your breath for the wind I get so used to these shadows Are You comin' back again?

A year ago, my mom shared with me that God impressed upon her heart that I have found my ‘ terebinth tree’ – a place where I belong, a place where God is, a place where I have met with God, a place where I would not have found if I had remained in Malaysia, and it’s my hiding place in Him. In line with this, I did some study on the ‘ terebinth tree’ as mentioned in the Bible. Here’s what I got: Of all the trees God could have chosen to represent Israel in Isaiah 61:3, why did He choose the oak? Maybe the best–known oaks in the Bible are the “oaks of Mamre ,” where Abraham settled in Hebron (Gen. 13:18). Today there is an oak referred to as Abram’s Oak near Hebron . It is 23 feet (7 meters) around, and its foliage reaches a diameter of around 90 feet (27 meters). A few, however, have reached a girth of 70 to 90 feet (21 to 27 meters). The slow-growing tree produces a hard, tough wood that is almost indestructible. After checking 11 different translations of Isaiah 61:3, I found...
