I thank God because...

I survived sight-reading tons of music from 10am till 5pm! Plus teaching L from 5.30pm till 7.00pm. But most of all, I thank God for such a wonderful dinner and relaxing time with H at Holland V. We went to our 老地方 for ramen, then walked about the shops. H also checked out the Vibram shoes and now both of us are keen to get them and do weekend early morning walks at Botanical Gardens (which is only 2 stops away on circle line from our place!).

I'm so glad. Thank you Lord.

I thank God because...

God has provided F & G with each other, for love and companionship, for support an encouragement as they live out their lives together, serving You in their respective ministries in church. Who would have thought? But You, oh Lord. You have everything in plan. You have everything in control. 

So thank you Lord for bringing them together. For holding them in your hands. For loving them, and filling their hearts with love so that they may love each other and everyone around them.

I was feeling so tired from teaching and my feet were blistering from my new shoes... and he sent Sihui my way. My BFF. She agreed to rent the holland v place with me for 9 months. I didn't even ask her, cos I thought the rent was way out of her budget. That takes a big deal of my anxiety off my mind. Thank you Lord. Please teach me not to worry about the future yet, but to trust in You for all things. You will provide accordingly. Might not be exactly what I want, but you know what I need and what is best, for your kingdom and glory first. Teach me to be obedient. Teach me to be joyful. Teach me to surrender all my desires & worries to you.

I had a day to rest which I didn't do much except to learn a few pages of my Brahms violin sonata! Rest is good, considering Thurs-Sun would be CRAAAAZY busy. Also thank God for a nice surprise bb has gotten me in HK. :) What will it look like? :)

I thank God because...

He has given me a last min but $100 paying accompaniment job today! Despite that the travel journey is long and time-consuming, but I was free to do it and the money certainly helps. 

Also thank God for P's flat at Holland Village, that she's willing to rent it to me below market rate. The flat is spacious enough and uncluttered (which I really like). I will do my best to take care of it while I live there. Praying that the papers can be signed properly, terms agreed happily on both sides, a suitable housemate can be found soon before Sep, and that God will continue to provide for the payment of the rent.

Despite so much music to learn in such a short time, God has given me a chance to do what I love for a living. Accompaniment, teaching, etc. All of this, I find tiring (and sometimes frustrating but very enjoyable. I need to remember that each lesson and each rehearsal, God presents me an opportunity to inspire a younger musician, to impart new skills and some life experience, to be a living testimony of His love. 

Lord, use me!
