Brook ElaineEmail:Matt5verse6@yahoo.com, Matt5verse6@gmail.comFaith Hope LoveChapter Six1I do not mind being alone, really. I do not feel there is anything wrong with oneeating unaccompanied, having a drink by oneself, watching a movie, reading abook, living, or even traveling solo. “One” is not always “the loneliest number”.I have yet to find anything quite as exhilarating and (in a sense) death defying as acab ride in New York City…though I feel traffic in Paris (and Italy at World Cuptime) is a close second. (I have gone skydiving but that is a different kind of thrilling and risky!) Aside from the Singapore subway (SMRT/ MRT) and the“Air Con”/ “No Air Con” buses, taxis were abundant (and the most common formof transportation I used).I suppose you never know what to expect when you climb into a taxicab for thefirst time in a new place. (I am certainly not brave enough to rent a vehicle anddrive myself around!) Though an adventure in itself, riding in a car-for-hire inSingapore is tame compared to the swerving, high-energy, heart-stopping, nearmiss, madness that is New York’s idea of public transportation. Sometimes, thedrivers would even practice their English on me.In the United States I can be found moseying around a bookstore and café bymyself but here in Singapore it is the floors and stores of Takashimaya or alongthe stretch of Orchard Road. I am especially fond of the small section thatcontains two American fast food joints. Now, I would not frequent these places inthe States but here is a different story.I order my value meal then sit outside in the warming sun. All of a sudden homeseems so much closer. I look around and admire the beauty that is Singapore.The skyline is breathtaking as the modernized buildings reach to the heights. Thedelicate, orchid looking flowers bob their heads in the humidity. Some havecenters painted by yellow and framed by pure white petals. Others boast of lavender with a sunshine middle. Their cheerful faces greet all who walk passed.December and January are upon me and with them come an invitation to aChristmas dinner with some members of my work family and a two week vacation (though admittedly I am still undecided on where I want to go). Beforemy relationship with my “boyfriend” was severed I was going to visit with him inEngland but now I am thinking somewhere a little more tropical might be the wayto go. With Stella still fresh on my mind, how can I resist?I am finding even though I make plans for myself, it is actually God who directsmy steps (Proverbs 16:9 & 19:21). And although I learned of God as I grew up inthe church, I do not truly know Him or his Son. But, God has started a good work
