Hazey day..

Today the haze was especially bad.. due to some fire in Sepang.

But life went on as usual. Manage to get myself out of shot putt and javelin, don't want to dislocate my hand yet again, especially not before MSSD.

Don't expect to do well in MSSD this year, since I dislocated my arm and won't train for a while yet. Sigh.

Oh well, I know now that badminton isn't that important.. there are much much more important things out there in the world. And no, I'm not talking about studies. ;-)

Took LRT to my mum's school today..

My life is pretty much settled now, take LRT home or to mum's school. :-) I'm getting used to this routine after 2 years of being spoilt. Lol! In form 1 and 2 I had a transporter to fetch me home. In standard 1-6 I walked home. Of course.. that was a mere 7 minute walk compared to the 25 minutes I take to reach home now(only spend about 5 minutes at the LRT station/on the LRT). So actually I'm walking 20 minutes. I don't mind though. :-)

Read the lyrics of a song by Don Moen:

Lord You seem so far away
A million miles or more, it feels today.
And though I haven't lost my faith
I must confess right now,
That it's hard for me to pray.

But I don't know what to say
And I don't know where to start
But as you give the grace
With all that's in my heart;

I will sing, I will praise,
Even in my darkest hour
Through the sorrow and the pain,
I will sing, I will praise,
Lift my hands to honor You,
Because Your Word is true,
I will sing!

I'm sure many of us have felt this way before(if you haven't, it's likely you don't have a relationship with God). Some days we just feel down, and ask God "Why?".

Quoting Don Moen:

[quote="Don Moen"]After playing this for a few people, including my wife, Laura, I decided to put this song on the project. In fact, it is the title cut! Everyone who heard it seemed to identify with the lyrics. Everyone has had a day when it seemed like God was far away. During those times, He is always close by our side but it is hard for us to believe it. I think an honest lyric like this can be an important step in helping us through any difficult circumstance.

As I mentioned earlier, David wrote many of these "honest" songs, yet he was called "a man after God's own heart." (Acts 13:22) He was also called the "apple of God's eye." (Psalm 17:8) What does this mean? How can this be? How can a man who is called the "apple of God's eye" write something like Psalm 109? Could it be that God loves honesty? I think the answer to that is obvious. Open up your heart to Him today and be honest about the way you feel about a situation. Perhaps God will give you a Psalm like He gave David. As you begin to be totally honest and vulnerable with God in worship, (and I'm not talking about singing the blues) I believe He will help you become the kind of worshiper He is looking for- one who worships Him in Spirit and in Truth.[/quote]

In Spirit and in Truth. =)

God bless
