Psalm 42:11 Monday, October 15, 2007 Plugging into: ji lang ji pua from 881 soundtrack Man.. maybe I should have taken Chinese more seriously. I was looking at the lyrics of 881 soundtrack [Mum borrowed from her friend and I happily burned it :) ] I know my chinese is not that impressive and I do sound weird speaking it sometimes, but I definitely can read it. They just convey so much meaning.. especially the selection of the very words themselves. Not one word is wasted. That's what makes language beautiful :) Sometimes I wonder.. Can I ever write like that? I know I write pretty decent, but that calibre is like.. WOW. How do you make one single sentence so powerful? It's so precise and concise - it's incredible manz. Last Saturday, our church band sang for a wedding. It was fantastic. I liked how we prayed and how we really worked hard for this. Hopefully, things will become even better =) I received an email from my friend Alison. [thanks Ali-san ;)] It had a powerpoint slide and was titled "be like coffee". I read this before, but this email elaborated a little bit more - it had carrots and eggs. It made me think a bit.. When carrots are boiled, they become soft. Just like carrots, we are strong at the beginning, but are later dragged down by troubles of life. We become tired, fatigued and drained. When eggs are boiled, they are soft at the beginning and hard at the end. Just like eggs, we are soft-hearted and kind at the start, but life's troubles hardens our hearts. We become unhappy and distrusting. After much reflecting.. I think I probably was both. I guess that realisation helped, in the sense that maybe my stress and unhappiness is due to the fact that I let life control me, rather than the other way round. It is encouraging to know that I can be like coffee powder - I can change it and be the master of my life. In this manner.. I feel much lighter, less burdened and more hopeful. "Lord, I choose not to be downcast, I choose not to be disturbed, I choose to put my hope in You" - Psalm 42:11 I love this Psalm :) Sylvia, glad you enjoyed Saturday+Sunday! :D Happy Birthday Sylvia, 6 days in advance! :) | |
