Phew...

It has been a really busy weekend. We had service on Friday night (a talk by Dr. Simon Chan) after a very heavy day at work... then almost the whole of Saturday was spent in church... choir training the whole afternoon... and service again on Saturday night...then today (Sunday) - it's the usual stuff..

I've been going home every night with heavy eye-lids. And I've been having really strange headaches (again). Both Pig and I had a headache after Saturday's choir training. Mine felt like a pulsating, painful, crushing band around my head...so intense, that I nearly missed the Saturday night service. I couldn't even look upward without feeling dizzy and nauseous. But I'm glad I didn't miss Dr. Simon Chan's sermon. It was very good and convicting.

I'm just afraid - that I've been taking too much Panadol of late. Which is bad. Coz I heard that the chemical compounds stay in your body for at least 4 years...long after the headache's gone! But how do you treat headaches that are too unbearable not to pop the Paracetamol?:P

Just taking a break in the middle of Sunday's routine...

Confession... Yesterday, I was having one of those moments... Wishing my hair was nicer, that I could afford to spend more on make-up like many people I know, clothes, etc, etc... (I know it sounds a little shallow:P - but it's natural for a girl to feel that way sometimes, ok) Was sharing that with my boyfriend, and he bounced back a question to me: "So, if you were given a chance to be somebody else, who would you want to be?" Thoughts of all the rich and pretty people I know crossed my mind - then somehow, I suddenly thought of my loved ones and friends so amazing and beautiful that I'd never trade them for anything else in the world, the many blessings I've been so undeserving to receive, and yet God by His grace gently placed in my lap, etc... I realized something more than anything - if I were given the chance to choose all over again who I'd like to be, I would still choose to be Grace. Thank God for my portion and my cup! Felt so contented after that.

God, thank You that You've made my lines fall in pleasant places.
