Redemption.

Nike - US$300; Flight Prep - abt S$1900 (incl air ticket, health cert, vaccinations, microchip insert, quarantine etc); Relationship - Priceless. There is something money can't buy, for everything else there's mastercard.

It's tedious having to prepare Nike's flight back to Singapore. He was due to depart on 15Oct by Korean Air. All necessary preparations(above-mentioned) have been arranged prior to my departure and had my room-mate to look after him for a week before Nike departed.

I was browsing through my mails one night after arriving back. I was shocked when I came across an email by my room-mate that Nike has been sent to an Animal Shelter(SPCA) and it can never be redeemed back. I was furiously mad for the fact that he acted in his own accord without consulting me. After which, I called him at that very moment and teared while confronting him. I remembered clearly saying this to him; No matter what it takes to redeem Nike back, do it. I pursued and demanded the contact no. of the Animal Shelter he had sent it into. I called to ask if i can still have Nike redeemed back for the simple fact that the person who brought it in, impersonated me to be it's owner? That fellow agreed after having discussed with the supervisor. *phew* a huge sign of relief. I had someone else to redeem on my behalf and took care for the remainder of days before it's departure. Nike is now in the quarantine station and releasing on the 17Nov.

The reason for sharing this is because the moment that fellow agreed to have Nike redeemed back; there was such joy that i can hardy express. The Lord revealed at the very instance that that was the very reason why He chose the cross, even to death on the cross. Its for us to connect/draw back to Him, having that personal relationship with Him in which He desires.
