boiling eggs

I boiled eggs in the microwave
They exploded 'BOOM' like a bomb
Stunned, speechless, startled
I swallowed my saliva 'Uc'
My face smelled eggs
The microwave smelled eggs
The pantry smelled eggs
A 'potential' cook I am!!!

Choir Christmas Party

I had a Christmas party in Eleanor's house yesterday after all the trouble of searching for the place. The taxi driver was partially lost and drove me to Gallop road instead of Gallop Park road. Thank God that I still had enough money to pay him after all the turning-round-and-about. Eleanor's house was an ideal place to hold the party - a private house with a swimming pool, 5 cars, 5 maids and 2 dogs. Yet, her parents and grand parents were so simple and sincere. I enjoyed the homely, warm and embracing atmosphere in her house that is so blessed by the Lord. I had a good time eating the salad my group made the previous day. The salad was commendable i must say though it was not the most popular dish of the meal.
To sum up, a meaningful time of gathering with my fellow choir mates and not to forget, teachers...

I have stopped asking God what His will is for me because I think it is a very useless thing to do without me doing anything specific about it.

I want to know what I can do as I am now to please Him and follow His plan which I havent known yet. I dont know why I have been involved and exposed so much to the musical field recently. No matter what, I am thankful for the gift that comes from above. Sometimes, it s not about how good we are but about how willing we are to humble ourselves to learn and listen to be used by God.

" Dont be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly light, who doesnot change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits in all he created"

I have had moments when the feelings of inferior complexity reign over me. I feel inadequate to rise up to the challenge. Nevertheless, in the end, it is not about us. It is not me who is the centre of the picture.
It is God.
It is about us letting Him empower us to fulfil His will onto our surrounding people so that on the day of judgement we can answer Him : What have you done to your life that I have traded with my blood and flesh?

So my brothers and sisters,
"Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert" - Hebrew 4:8

The faster we learn, the earlier He can use us.
