Having the occassional blues today even though I have the day off... I guess I have been too busy to really have time to sit down and reflect on my inner thoughts.
Well, I have been working since school holidays began about 2 weeks ago, and life as a waiter was much tougher than I thought! I work after everybody ends work, and go home after everybody else was sleeping... and I go home exhausted... oh well, its F&B mah... But one thing I must say is, because of this job, I learnt how to become a better usher in church! So I can't help but think that God had a hand in this, a divine intervention of some sort... unfathomable by many, but I know that God is with me all the way... maybe he thinks that I can be a much better usher... so I never complained and faced every customer with a wiiidddeeeeee smile even when I'm completely drained... I used to think that being an usher is simple & not requiring any skills whatsoever, but now I know... and to whoever who thinks this way, I suggest that you try being an usher for one day and get exposed to all the different situations that might occur... then maybe you will change your mind.. it realli ain't easy being an usher ya know...
That being said, It's also tough to balance work, schoolwork, floorball, church and my girlfriend. Work being my job now... and though classes have ended, I'm still worrying about my results (it'll be out on Dec 19 by the way)... I've still got to attend floorball trainings... and I also have to be a cell member, which in itself, encompasses many roles such as a mentor, a friend, a guide.... and last but DEFINITELY not least, is my girlfriend Tee Liwen (I love you! hehe) because I know that I have to take care of her and to lead her... But now, the more pressing issue to me is church, I feel that a lot more can be done to improve things but of course, it'll will take time & effort... but if SeTT can improve, then all the hardwork is worthwhile! The most common 'thing' I have faced in SeTT is the term called 'rejection'... and I must say that it has toughened me for challenges in the future!
'When we treat man as he is, we make him worse than he is: When we treat him as if he already were what he potentially could be, we make him what he should be..." Johann Wolfgang van Goethe
After all that's being said, I still love my life now! I'm facing issues that are preparing me for bigger things in life in the future, and I know my God is watching over me, I don't exactly know where he is, but I know when I need him, he will be there for me, because he loves me...
Sorry for the rambling.. this entry does not have a main focus, a theme or whatsoever. I just felt like writing down some thoughts. It's pretty therapeutic I must say!!
Enjoy this beautiful day my friends!!
