Love
never gives up,
never loses faith,
is always hopeful,
and,
of course,
endures through
every circumstance.

I'm quite tired now actually. God has been great to me for the past week, or should I say past few days. By that I mean Especially great. No words to express how I feel. I'm not good with words, you see.
I was feeling a little low, down and out, plus lonely. In my head, I thought I have no friends. I almost went into a self-pity cycle again. Then the Holy Spirit told me to look around me carefully with much observation. On Sunday, I bought this book call "The treasure of a friend" by John C.Maxwell. I have revelations and am so blessed by this book. God opened my eyes to see the friends around me. On Sunday, one of my friends chatted with me over msn. He's a fellow Christian, a brother. We shared quite a lot of things that had happened in our lives. A real friend is a treasure. I do hope this friendship is a fruitful one!
Lately band stuff has been quite a headache. I was quite discouraged when I saw only 3 people came for practice and they are guests players! Mind you... They're people I know who were in band. It's just that they graduated and another came back to help out. I had totally no mood to conduct sectionals and I do not know how to conduct a good one. Thank God Huibao is willing to conduct sectional, taking ownership of everything. I, too, learnt a lot from her. So the thing now is to put them into practice. Actually I did thought about the kind of sectional I want to lead. I want to be a leader who believe in my members. My section is going to be a section who will put in the best effort they can into their respective parts and are a people who is willing to learn and sacrifice. The most important thing is effort and willingness. I'm watching out for that. I don't really care about the most talented person around. I've always believed that talent makes up 1% and the rest of the 99% is hard work, sweat and blood. Yupz... Sounds like I've got some attitude there. Well, this is also good news. Talent doesn't make up everything. The most important thing is character. Our attitude determines out altitude. Attitude can bring us beyond what we can imagine at times. There's band practice again tomorrow. There're 4 practices in a week now. On top of this, I've got a 1-year long project, guitar lesson twice a week, work and of cos, church and ministry. And tell you something, this is just the beginning of birth pangs! It's time for me to be stretched further. At the most, I'll cry my heart out, complain till the cows go home, play more arcade to release stress and exercise to shed off the fats. Not to forget the all time weapon, the presence of God. Yupz... I gotta go make some dinner. Chow!
