As much as I tend to dismiss coincidental occurrence of certain verses being used over a day, repeated learnings and such. Maybe today's isnt something that I should dismiss as something of pure coincidence.
Neither can I dismiss the fact that some random song title came into my mind. A praise song that I only heard a couple of times. Yet on the black polaroid, I just wrote what came into my mind and it was the song title. Googled for the lyrics and thought that's that.
And the story today, the lyrics yesterday just forms a message that probably God needs to me to know.
Call time's at 0645 at city plaza tomorrow~ It's the beginning of crossroad and a great time of learning! Bless the shoot and weather for the week Lord!
"Once we have faith, it will be tested. Unproven faith is no faith at all. We need no faith for what we can see and what we can do. We need faith for what we cannot see; we need faith for what we cannot do. Doubt is part of the process of faith. When we encounter doubts, we have reached the boundaries of our faith. We lay hold of the promises of God, and faith grows." - from jerlyn's blog
Thanks to all that have expressed your concerns. Other than the fact that i am overseas previously at hills conference, I have never missed a single service over the past i dont know how many years.
I caught the flue bug from mom and it finally developed into the usual stuff over the week. Thank God exams had ended for me and I only suffered a block nose on the last paper.
Other than WFLs and El Talento auditions, I met up with charn for FYP prep and talked about the future of DSLRs. It's so exciting to be caught in the phenomena of the DSLR vs VCAM war. Ah 7D, when will you be mine~? There was an impromptu lunch with jiaying! Glad that you're doing fine, and I know you'll continue to do well :) And kat's bday celebration with alliance~ Too bad we didnt kick cai down the stairs, but whatever happened at cartel was worth a good laugh! Then I did my first freelancing as a VM for AIA rebranding launch. It was only for a 2 camera mixing, but it's a really really really good experience of the real world and I really see a potential of the church expanding out in the area of handling events. And lastly before I reported to the doctor, I met up with silly stalker. And we spend alot of time at muji and laughing at her total gibberish that afternoon! Thanks for being such a joy in my life :)
I spent the saturday and today at home with workaholic me settling stuff here and there getting bottle after bottle of water. Ah failing body, please get well, you'll be heavily needed for the next 3 weeks!
Wednesday, December 02, 2009 Break my heart for what breaks yours
That is the heading for today's devotions. And just when I headed out for dinner with dad, we witnessed 3 police cars parked along the road beside the big drain opposite my house. Well, the adults used to say 壞蛋，等一下警察來抓你 As we turned the bent, 6 policemen held on to 3 kids, about lower sec, and led them to the cars. What have they committed to even warrant an arrest? And I thought, it must have been something bad and it just feels as if I hadnt done enough as a Christian to bring God to them. They must have been afraid, terrified, regretful...
Today, when shirls ended off WFL, she made this statement of whether God even need us to do anything for Him? Does God need fanciful videos? No Does God need wonderful and flawless productions? No Does He need anything BOOMZ? No Well, He doesnt need us to do anything for Him. He's God, Almighty, Powerful. And if He doesnt need all these, then why are we doing all these? Not for Him, as in God himself, but for people that He loves. Not for any sake, but for His glory's sake. Not to mean anything for ourselves, but as an act of service and love to God and to His people.
As much as the fundamental beliefs and source of motivation and drive for passion is concern, I find it a need to always ask myself why am I doing what I am doing What is my source of fulfillment, where is joy etc... Cause it's honestly getting a little heavy (and yea, God will make it light right?) And when it's time that I need help, I should ask for help isnt it?
Isaiah 43:6-8 (New International Version)
6 I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth-
7 everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made."
8 Lead out those who have eyes but are blind, who have ears but are deaf.
Though I am afraid to list out in my schedular things that are going to happen, rehearsals after rehearsals, production deadlines, camp preparation and execution, SMF portraits that I owe them... The sheer thought of the beginning of next week creeps me up~brrr Ok la, to put it bluntly, I asked for it- and so God will work it, alright! And to meet up some of the most awesome people ever this week, YOOHOO~~
Exams have ended and like what luannie and me talked about yesterday, it didnt end with great excitement. Because this sem is too unpredictable and well, considerably shiong I guess. And yes, I am glad I made it through. You know the idea that if you can get through this sem, you can get through anything.
Well, first we have the worst module/paper in the entire 4 years in CS as the seniors would put it. Core module + heaps of readings which i religiously do + hell lot of names and theories + application Yea...
And to add on, I've got ISP. Silent 1-min video completed in 3 weeks. 5-min script and storyboard in 3 weeks. 5-min narrative video with sound design in 3 weeks. 3 weeks from beginning to end of each assignment. Maybe church has trained me well.
I am glad I spent my UE wisely on GV17, on something fun!
Other modules like 206 and TCM and all... Well, they've got equal share of joy and pain of assignments and hard to swallow lectures but still manageable.
Ahh, ok. I have indeed survived but I wonder if my grades did.
I bid van and juls goodbye with 'see you in...erm...year3?' when we left the exam hall early. wow, the cohort will be all around the world. I hope facebook is not banned in china!
So I ended exams on a note that hmmz...I've got so much other things to prepare for. But God, your glory will outshine all my worries right? And I will find joy, I will find time out of the doing.
