Was ill, and now i'm fine!
i started my day early, with exams, exams and exams. A place so familiar, once again i felt like one of them! Students didn't play too well, not too impressive, so i rule out a merit or distinction. For the clarinet girl, i pray for a miracle, a greater amt of God's grace!
Enjoyed my lunch, food was nice, (yay my fav jap food!) but company was nicer. Soon enough, i was carrying a sleepy face and started feeling tired and i've been sniffing and sneezing all morning. Yesterday's weather was just pure unfriendly, i even had to wear a jacket in my house.
I headed to Greenridge Secondary for choir, and i didn't make it through man. After 1.5 hrs of lesson, i couldn't take it anymore. I just informed the teacher-in-charge i was not feeling well, and i wanted to leave. In the end, she also dismissed the students early. They must have loved me lots man. At that juncture, i just needed somewhere to recover. Called Dallas, was too much of a hassle to drag him home early. I decided to choose somewhere more familiar, was showered with natural warmth, no need to have heater or anything.
Headed to boon keng for dinner. Someone said today that laughter is a gd medicine. i agree, it beats all vit C pills hands down! Haha. And not everyone is capable of making me laugh ok! You have to be willing to be a fool-for-elena. (just kidding) *Muacks* Anyway, i quote Dallas..."The Power of Love"!
Today 1 Samuel 1 got me thinking of many things that i can identify with very easily in this season of my life. It just hit right on the nail!
Some points of reflection:
1) Love of God doesn't depend on our works, it depends on the grace of God.
2) Do we cherish accomplishments, abilities, things, pple more than God?
3) Lack of Fruitfulness - Purposely allowed by God to teach us that there are alot of things beyond our capacity.
4) Give thanks for EVERYTHING that we have and don't have. Only God can bestow, only God can give.
5) Prayer is not just opening our mouths to pray sweet words, it also involves engaging deeply in the spirit, pouring out our heart and soul to the Lord.
6) God can give and take away, our lives are in His hands.
7) "Count your blessings name them one by one..." =)
8) Are we appreciating God enough for what He has done for us?
9) When we pray, many times God will not answer immediately. Over time, finally when He has given us what we asked for, we forget that we have prayed and asked for it. Our challenge is for us to give back to God whatever He has given us - acknowledge the giver, not only the gift.
10) We have no lack, we are so blessed because God provides for our every need.
Technical Abilities to do things VS Foundational character of a person
Many a times, we strive to improve in our technical abilities to do things, but what is really impt?
