You are my hiding place.
You always fill my heart with songs of deliverance.
Whenever I am afraid,
I will trust in You.
I will trust in You.
Let the weak say "I am strong
In the strength of the Lord"
I will trust in you.
Rain..
Heavy rain..
So heavy that I thought the Game's Day would be a drag. But once again, God proves to His children how he reigns powerfully over the earth by stopping the rain. It really reminds me of the lyrics of a familiar hymn.
"Be still my soul, the waves and winds still know the voice who ruled them while He dwelt below."
Many times I get troubled over minor things in our lives, often leaving God out of the equation. Sometimes I feel that this is, in fact, Satan's way of trying to draw me away from God. I guess it is actually good to just sit down, and marvel at how God has changed my life.
Met into some difficulty today before going to Depot Walk. It got me so frustrated I took it out alot on my sister on the way there. Looking back, I feel so foolish. Why should these matters trouble me?
I guess my frustration did not wear off well enough. During the games, I felt as though everyone else was at fault. "Why can't she catch the ball properly?" "Why can't he concentrate on the game?" These thoughts ran through my mind as the game went on. Frustration became anger. And at a point in the game, I really felt like hitting someone.
Then, I remembered what the sharing was today. "Be a good witness for Christ, even in the assembly." Scolding or hitting anyone wouldn't solve my problem, but would further heighten it. So I decided to "Let Go and Let God." Preet! Preet! Preeeeeeeeet!! The whistle went. I didn't get the chance to be a Ronaldhino; not in terms of skills of course =P I'm always impressed with how he manages to play every game just to enjoy the fun of it and not as though his life rests on it.
On the way home, Amos and I had to sit through a long and boring ride in a taxi and the driver's long talk about how singaporeans should not buy so many cars and jam up the traffic. I kinda agree with him actually. If everyone on the road could just move at a constant pace and not slow down, everyone else behind would also move at a nice pace as well instead of being stuck in jams.
It's friday tomorrow. Better get some work going on. Rehearsals tomorrow too. Praying that friends will be able to make it to the gospel rally in July.
Let go, Let God.
