A lot of things were on my mind.. causing me to have pretty bad short term memory lately. Alamak.. What to do?
Last night we had our first dance practice for the Easter Celebration. Well, I am dancing again.. but this time itz not hip hop dance. Hmm, I guess it'z a challenge to me. And there's a lot of new things for me to learn. =)
I watched a movie after that, together with the friends from CM. It was a good one..
"Why does life have to be full of tears? How to put up a smiley face in the midst of pain, sorrow...?"
"God is always walking beside you. He is the One who strengthens you as you go thru all the ups and downs. You don't need to do anything to prove your worth, to earn people's love, to earn people's approval. God loves you and He sees you as His precious child."
This is part of the conversation on the phone between a counsellor and a social worker. The social worker was contemplating suicide, at the edge of jumping down from a building. As a social worker, she has been helping people, handling different cases. She does all her tasks by her own strength, taking up more and more responsibility ...and finally.. falls into depression.
***
The counsellor -- what I learned from this character ~ Listen to God, listen to yourself(how you are responding to situations), and listen to the people around you. When we attune our ears to listen to God, He will show us how to help the people around us. For He will speak to us and speak thru' us.
***
Prior to this, I have been thinking and asking God what is the MOST practical way to help to improve the situations which I saw happening...
"PRAY."
"O Lord, yeah right~~~~! *kinda sarcastically* I want some 'active' ways which I can do to help them. Argh..."

After the movie, it hit me again...
"PRAY. And make time to listen to what I want to speak to you thru' the situations."
At this point of time, still I want to argue with God huh? Neh... no la.
SO..
Keep on praying.. pray unceasingly..! 1 Thes 5:16
