Post MFE..I'm leading a life free from lectures and textbooks. Currently only in 1st gear when it comes to sending out job applications. I admit life is pretty good in the absence of work- and school-related stresses, but at least I've embarked on a meaningful and enriching activity - weekly keyboard classes.
Meaningful because as far as memory lane takes me, I've always wanted to learn the piano/keyboard, but somehow always proscrastinated. So it means a lot to me that I am in the process of fulfilling one of my goals in life. Enriching because I believe music enriches one's mind and has the unique ability to touch one's soul.
Every week, there is a theme behind the songs we learn to play. Other than having to grasp with the challenges of playing the keyboard with my stiff fingers, I also learn more about God through the class.
Last week, I learnt that God often referred to Himself as Yahweh (Eternally Existing & Unchanging One). At first, it meant nothing to me. But as I sat there and pondered, it dawned upon me how awesome this name was. The name seemed to have an aura and authority that evokes both awe and fear in me.
This week, I learnt that the universe contains at least 1 billion galaxies, and I like the way my instructor puts it - we are individuals in Singapore, which is part of South East Asia, which is part of Asia, which is part of Earth, which is part of the Solar System, which is part of the Milky Way, which is part of 1 galaxy, which is part of 1 billion galaxies. And God only had to speak, and the universe was created.
To put that into perspective, we are infinitesimally small in comparison to the universe, but we are not insignificant to Him!
This morning I was awoken by tummyaches, and had to rush to the toilet a couple of times. After that I felt perfectly fine and went out. After being out for 8 hours, I felt slight twitches in my stomach on my train ride home, which were signs of impending tummyaches - and when that happens - resumption of mad rushes to the loo. To me, it was abit unusual how my tummyaches only resumed when I am back home. Psychological? Maybe it had to do with the teh-si I drank when I was out? Or maybe God was just reminding me He has full control of all situations, even this
When I sit to think, and put my heart and mind to remind myself that God really does exists, my perspective of life changes. He is in full control all the time, even though events do not always unfold the way I would like them to. I am not sure how my job interview went, but I know that He will give me a job with a firm of His choice in His own time, and I'll just have to do my best, work hard, contribute, and try to be a blessing to the colleagues around me.
