今天是开学的errr, 3rd 天。大家还好吧？:)
upper secondary sure promises a whole new different kinda welcoming us back to school. no more do teachers focus on the "holidays were good, aye?" that makes everyone drifts back to the good o' vacation mood and stay that way till only a few weeks after. it's all about, "welcome back, honeymoon years in secondary school over, lesson plans for this year will be ..." teaching and lessons start now. now.
i've started feeling the stress and burden of all my commitments and responsiblities ytd. school was fine. however during co, it was like the whole co prac time, and well, we have just kinda started practicing on the syf songs, so yeahh. did the syf selected piece, which is really quite simple, but my section practised and played through it only slowly, so when my conductor went faster and faster we just couldnt catch up and worse still, she went on to make every section play once on their own.
the pipa section couldnt even play the whole part. the poor performance of my section reflected on the leading of its leader. i felt numb and downright paiseh right there and then. i mean, it wont ever feel nice. it did not felt good at all.
as i tried to numb myself from the sourness that started welling up my throat, my mind started reviewing all the commitments and all i have agreed to take on this year. in church, for school and my studies, in co. just slowly going under, load after load.
went off with a hole in my heart, bleeding, bleeding. hurt and demoralised. slept the earliest time i could. sleep can be a form of comfort sometimes.
so todaye, while flipping through my diary, i came across this devotion i jotted down sometime last year.
Learning to share the load"What you are doing is not good... The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone." (Exodus 18:17-18)
As we seek God for help, support and guidance, we can also turn to others who can help lighten our load at the same time!
- Find a prayer partner
-Look for a study buddy
- Confide in a close friend
- Pour out your heart to a parent
- Ask siblings to help in completing tough tasks
The body of Christ is there to help us, we just have to first ask for help. :)
"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2)
so! Let us turn to God, and one another for comfort and guidance at the same time during LIFE'S FUNNIEST VIDEOS! i mean, LIFE'S DOWN-EST MOMENTS! x)
you can find:
WEIIEN-- she have the KNOWLEGE most of the times, and she'll definitely CHEER YOU UP!
EUGENE-- he would patiently SIT there and LISTEN, even if you'll complaining, and he'll ENCOURAGE you POSITIVELY!
JINCHI-- he'll LISTEN and he'll give you his POINT OF VIEW, which helps to broaden your vision and perspective!
JINGWENN-- she'll give you SMILEYS and COMFORT you!
YUZII-- he never fails to MAKE YOU SMILE AND LAUGH again, he'll offer you practical ADVICE and he'll always offer to PRAY FOR YOU.
ME-- mmm, i try my best to empathise and help and cheer you up, if i can. ;)
so there you have it! there's always somebody, together with God, that loves you.
smile! jiayous for the rest of the week! x)
