reason to smile
You know what, looking back on all that I have, all that i've been blessed with and looking into the future, I realise that there are so many things to thank God for. Sure, sometimes shit happens, but at the end of the tunnel there's always a light, you just need the faith and the patience to get there.
Well, I should have blogged about this a long time ago, but my car's been out for almost a month now! The engine overheated and as a result damaged other parts of it. But hey, praise God i'm alive! Praise Him that the car didn't explode on my face and scar me for life. And well, I suppose not having my car means that I have to take public transport and walk more. I guess there are perks to that, such as getting healthy, plus saving about $200 on petrol! Sweet...
And it's just amazing that even though places are now less accessible for me, i've come to realise i've never lost out at all. I've had friends offer to fetch me, even offered me their car to use! It's just awesome to know that I have friends who actually care to remember me, and care to literally go the "extra mile" for me. I really thank God for them.
But anyway, so i'm finally near the end of the tunnel. I got a call just now from the workshop telling me I can collect my car tomorrow. A hefty bill of A$2205 is in stall for me, but again looking at the bright side, i'm currently blessed with a part-time job twice a week, plus an extra day of work somewhere else soon, so that I can work my a$$ of and pay off for the repairs. I suppose I could just grab the money off my parents, but it just feels more satisfying that way.
I'm also glad that Angel, Dom and Mich are back from Myanmar! I'm glad they had a safe, well mostly anyway, 2 months away, and I certainly hope that they've been touched just as much as they have touched lives.
And i'm leading worship tomorrow (Friday) for the first time here in Perth!! Woots! It's for cell group, just guitar and singing so starting from scratch again I should think? But yeah, just recalling the joy and the satisfaction of doing it at Calvary, i'm seriously looking forward to this and serving more often.
Was flipping thru my Bible just now and glancing at all the verses I had underlined from the many sermons or what not, and I feel really blessed. I guess today must be a good day for me? But seriously, everyday can be Sunday if you allow it. Just hang on to God, and He will open your eyes to see.
Btw, I really like the song "Hosanna" in the latest United Live "All of the Above" album. Hmmm... any updates from the YF worship scene? What's the latest song there and all? Fill me in aiite?
Cheers.
