FEVER

I'm going to this!
Can't wait. Like, I'm feverish bout it. Haha!

Will you go too?

Words in the night

There was a line from one of the judges that was touched and wept on SYTYCD that went like this;

"Sometimes we are so focus on the steps that we forget about dance"

and he went on to praise the dancer for doing both very well.



The words struck a chord, and all I could think of was;

"Sometimes we are so focus on the chords that we forget about worship"

Sharing...

It bothers me that I haven't shared anything for years.
So here's a quickie.

I occasionally 'give up' spots to play the piano/keyboard when I'm doing the roster.
Not that I don't want to play, but it comes down to giving others that chance to play because there isn't enough to go around. Besides there's always next month to plan.
Like for June, since there was camp it came down to only 6 spots.
And since there was a wedding on another weekend, there was only 2 weekends I could make it.
So I just assigned one spot for myself and distributed the rest.
But God is good.
This month it is because one of the others had to have surgery and recovery time.
So I'm playing more than once and it delights me a lot, despite it being due to another's difficulty.

And this wasn't the first time it has happened.
Just when I think it's okay to let go and not play, something comes up and I get to play!

It's at times like this I'm reminded that God sees right into my heart and delights in giving me the desires of my heart.

As little as I think of myself, the more He thought of me.

I found this gospel singing of 'How can I keep from singing'.
It matches where I am in this reminder today.

My life goes on in endless song

above earth's lamentations,

I hear the real, though far-off hymn

that hails a new creation.

Through all the tumult and the strife

I hear it's music ringing,

It sounds an echo in my soul.

How can I keep from singing?

Oh though the tempest loudly roars,

I hear the truth, it liveth.

Oh though the darkness 'round me close,

Songs in the night it giveth.

No storm can shake my inmost calm,

While to that rock I'm clinging.

Since love is lord of heaven and earth

How can I keep from singing?

When tyrants tremble in their fear

And hear their death knell ringing,

When friends rejoice both far and near

How can I keep from singing?

No storm can shake my inmost calm,

While to that rock I'm clinging.

Since love is lord of heaven and earth

How can I keep from singing?

My life goes on in endless song

Above earth's lamentations,

I hear the real, though far-off hymn

How can I keep from singing?

Lord, how can I keep from singing?

Oh, how can I keep from singing?

Best weekend of 2011 so far....

Been having a wonderful week starting from last Saturday.

Weekend highlight
Bitter gourd noodles.
Debating English statements with brother.
Stayed up til 4am on Saturday night since there was no morning service (all were away at camp).
Read recaps of kdramas.

Was so caught up in it like I was in my own world.
Slept in til 2pm Sunday afternoon.
Was in denial when someone mentioned they were already back from camp.
Stayed up late again for the same reasons as Monday was PH replacement.

It felt like I had escaped from everything for just that one weekend.
No drills, no worries, no forcing myself to wake up on time....
Was just awesomely splendid.

I'm so thankful to be able to find rest at home.




Weekday highlight
Marathoned X-Men and KF Panda 2 on Wednesday.
Watched Taekwondo tournament. It brought back goosebumps.
Had Boost.
Played Mozart on the Google logo, it transformed into guitar strings on Thursday in honor of Les Paul.
Stayed up til 2am on Thursday night to urm...finish kdramas.
Manicured.

And here I am. Finally.

A mani...gone bad.

Bloody pinky.

Among other bloody fingers.
