While reading a book, I came across this:
If finding God’s ways in the suddenness of storms makes our faith grow broad – then trusting God’s wisdom in the “dailyness” of living makes it grow deep. And strong. Whatever may be your circumstances – however long it may have lasted – wherever you maybe today, I bring you this reminder: The stronger the winds, the deeper the roots, and the longer the winds… the more beautiful the tree.
And I’m supposed to believe it…
Hmmm… what can I write to update…
Am almost bored to the core with recent events such as my friends’ enlistment 3 weeks ago. So what am I trying to do to make the best of my free time?
Read, read and read. Still very much engrossed in fiction and reading discriminately which doesn’t bode well for ‘general reading’. Oh well, let me complete reading the series first. I would strongly recommend everyone to pickup or continue reading, be it for passing time, knowledge or entertainment. I believe it will still help somehow in sentences as well as vocabulary. Personally, I prefer reading something while on the train to staring into blank space or even playing with my handphone. For one, time passes much faster than I would realize and two I benefit somehow, be it one stop or 12 stops. Now that’s a good habit to keep.
Vocabulary exercises, yes, vital to expanding one’s vocabulary of course and more significantly, to prepare for the SAT. In a way, doing badly in my final semester and pulling my overall gpa down is an incentive to bucking up for the future. Therefore, I am serious about getting a place in the university. To exacerbate the situation, both my applications to the local universities failed. The key to ensuring that the words remain active in the mind is to constantly and repeatedly remind and review the words in my daily conversations as well as to engage in slightly more ‘intelligent’ conversations. What I mean by that is to put more thought into speaking and not say things for the sake of saying, which I am very fond of.
Cti garage just ended last Friday. What a big relief as it was my first time in charge of logistics in the area of food. Thankfully there weren’t any problems and the food was equally distributed. A big thanks to the helpers from church who helped to barbecue. A round table was rendered useless when I filled in ice into a dispenser which was laid at the edge of it. Whole table came crashing down, unfortunately onto my lower leg as I tried to save the drink from spilling. Sigh… There will be a post-evaluation where I guess I’m going to comment a lot. Heh.
Work, work. Thanks to a friend in yfc, I managed to be a facilitator for her during the workshops conducted at secondary schools. Now it seems, I’m needed as a trainer, double the pay, double the prestige, double the responsibility… double the stress… no doubt. But it could be fun, taking charge of these delinquent upstarts and seeing a reflection of my past, being oblivious to consequences and what the future holds. Kicking off this Thursday as an excursion around the old Singapore.
I’m glad for my good friend who at least has a chance to interact with his special someone in mind though whether his actions are requited or not is another issue. I would very much like to say unfortunately for me but oh well. Oh I just said it. Heh.
A big reminder in today’s sermon that God is still in control. A nail hitting part is about the unanswered prayers where we think that we want God to act when He has already done so in other ways. Perhaps I’ll just have to attune my eyes and ears to see what is in front of me. Finally I understand that Trust is not an easy thing to do.
Whew… I wrote so much, and still thought that there would be nothing to write..
