As a result, I took dinner today. On mom's tab! Thank God for that!
Bear with me today, my topics are going to jump from one to another pretty rapidly so for easy of read, I shall number them.
Point 1
I checked my NSF payslip today. I've finally gotten my promotion back pay! :D
+$60 *Ka Ching!* I'm overjoyed!
Point 2
Which brings me to the next topic. I'm actually quite blessed to be in a clerk vocation in NS. I realise my time is really freed up to serve and do other very beneficial things in life. No doubt, the finances are extremely tight. But stretching my dollar is also a life skill I have to learn!
Point 3
Just yesterday, while I was on my Mp3 player, God prompted me that my next breakthrough in vocals will be something awesome! And I really am excited for that because each time I grow as a vocalist, the excitement lasts but for a day or two. After that, reality sets in and I realise I have so much more to learn and improve!
Point 4
And as I was about to put myself down today, I was suddenly reminded of positive speaking. We humans tend to gravitate to people who can understand our situations and lament along with us. However, if we want to get out of our situation and the vicious cycle of hurt, we have got to speak with people who can encourage us! Speak to people who can point out the positives and magnify your strengths. That way, you can learn to build on them and improve!
Point 5
But of course, there are two parts. One is hearing the good word. That's like 5%, and is pretty easy, you just got to have your ears open (and who's ears can be closed anyway?) The other 95% is actually believing, proclaiming, doing and waiting. I call this proactive waiting. :)
Point 6
And on the serving side, after being super hyper excited that I'm going for all 5 days of Asia Conference, my rational mind finally kicked in. I'm not doubting; I still believe that going and serving for all 5 would be awesome. But I believe that the greatest challenge lies one day after Asia Conference. 31st May. It's a Monday, a work day. And after all the excitement, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be somewhere near exhaustion. So I've already started to pray, that I'll be prepared physically and spiritually for the growth spurt and physical marathon!
Point 7
You know what's bogging my mind now? One word, Balance. Because it's so hard to achieve; It's like trying to be an air-conditioner, when you set the temperature at 25 degree Celsius, it cools the room to that temperature and maintains the temperature via a thermostat.
An internal thermostat. That's what I should be praying for right, God?
Point 8 Almost there!
So today as I was flipping my pages, I saw a verse about going 2 miles for someone when he asks for 1 mile, and so on and so forth. I think it was in one of the 4 Gospels.
You know what that reminded me? The Spirit of Excellence. *Awed*
What's that? Can eat or not? Joking.
I want that. I want that so much. I want to do things to the best and not half-past-six. I want to be more than a conqueror. Pretty please?
And that's the end. Pretty much.
Though I do have a song that's stuck in my head. It's a magical song. I believe it's even older than me. So without much further ado, I bring you (lyrics only!):
Hello by Lionel Richie
I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Or is someone love you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying... I love you
Rides off into the sunset, anime-style.
