le.rocher

the rock!

you went back to monaco again. not to monte carlo but first to fontvieille, a reclaimed land and housing estate with plenty of posh yachts.  you had a glimpse of  le rocher from here and finally decided to chance the short hike up to the palace, the journey  was quite pleasant.

 you took in the view of monte carlo and the yatch haven, and watching the sun setting down

psalm 119: 105 "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and  a light unto my path"... strolling up the fortress of le rocher, the verse just surface in your spirit. you know this is an assurance from God that if you keep His word dear to your heart, He is a lamp and He will brighten your path...

 looking at the fortress, you know Jesus is your fortress too!

 another view before the sun set completely, the view is quite magnificent

 cross the fortress gate, you are at the rock, it's not very big. there're a few alleys for you to stroll and the feeling is like in any old city, only the time you arrived is already quite late (past the tourist rush hour) so the alleys are a bit deserted but safe nonetheless

you walked to the other side of the rock where you finally encounter the cathedral that you see from a distance from fontvieille  (see first photo)

Jesus is your rock, He is your fortress and your firm foundation, with this finally view of monte carlo and the yacht haven in complete dawn, you have a smile on your face, your vacation may be ending soon, but the rock will remain in your heart forever and ever and you will never be shaken. amen. thank you Jesus for a wonderful stroll with you in le rocher.

feeling a little sick again @_@. i guess i have a stomach flu but mild one :(, nevertheless, i made it to church and we had a fantastic renowned worship leader from indonesia leading the worship for us. it's amazing where many people have to pay for at least 30 euro month ahead to get to his praise concert in indonesia, while you enjoyed an up-close and personal sunday worship led by him completely free...
