It kinda hit me recently.
I love the simplicity of life...When I was younger, things used to be really simple.
In the world I once knew :
- I used to lie down in an open field, watching the night sky naming stars
- I used to tell the world how I admire living in a country side house with white picket fences
- I used to get all excited over rainbows after a rain and take pictures of them
- I used to sneak out to make phone calls in the middle of the night and get all happy just because I get to talk to my best friends
- I used to sit in an open car park chatting with my best friends and it feels amazing
- I used to hike up an empty hill and shout my discontent
- I used to “head bang” to some Linkin’ Park songs randomly with my friends and laugh about how silly we all looked
- I used to hug every single person like there’s no tomorrow
- I used to say “I love you” to all my friends because I treasure them very much
- I used to talk about anything under the sun, and it made my day so long as I was with the people I care about
All these are simple, but it made me really happy.
Some things I have lost as I grew up, being drowned with the busyness of life, work, being overwhelmed by the changes, trying to adapt, to cope, to grow, to excel....
Some things don’t seem to be all that significant anymore as I grew up.
In the era of science advancement, proofs and reasons are needed for every occurrence.
In the era where businesses are blooming, every connection, conversation, incident needs to be beneficial.
Even though some things do pass with maturity, but some things should be preserved. I miss the simplicity of life where I enjoy the simplest pleasure just by being with the people I am close with.
These few weeks I have been going back to the basics, and I kinda enjoy the simplicity of it all. Simple is good.
I love this new saying I learned from a friend. It is in Chinese: 简单就好
Sometimes, simplicity is all that we need to be happy.

Prayer Meeting 6th September 2011
This prayer meeting was a significant one for me. I was on stage singing as a vocalist..then a voice came...I was presuming that it was God. This was the conversation:
God: Get ready for a new season, a new anointing....GET READY to embrace that call...
*silence*
Hazel: God is that You? Please let me know if it is You. Give me a sign
God: Fire...
Hazel: You mean when I open my eyes now, I will see a ball of fire, then I will know it is You? (*shock and tries to peep*...this is too huge a faith! Please don't do this to me)
God: No, Keith will say the word "fire"
Wow....that's a very low likelihood too aye? (*thinking to self*)
Hazel: God...you mean anyone who pray with me use the word "fire" is it?
I was trying to bring up the probability so that I can be assured that God was speaking to me....
God: Have faith! Keith will say the word fire...
Lo, and behold...after praying so much, Keith has not even mentioned the word "fire" or anything that is close to that word.....So I thought....well, I must be thinking too much. Maybe its just me.
Then, the final passage that Keith read, was on the screen....as Keith read on and on and on....and my eyes screen through the projector screen....my heart beat faster and faster and faster....
1 Kings 19
11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
So, I SAW and I HEARD...
That sentence followed after the word "fire" pierced me like a double-edged sword...
And God spoke:
God: Hazel, do not look for a proof, do not look for a ball of fire....I am in that still small voice.
(*repent*)
And then, we prayed in tongues for 10 minutes....it felt like 1 minute. This was an amazing encounter. Thank You Lord.
God: Get ready for a new season, a new anointing....GET READY to embrace that call...
