Don't sweat the small stuff

It hasn't been the best of weeks.....

I've been so flat out...still am. I'm groggily typing this because my mind is not ready to take up another bout of arranging. I'll need to start after lunch though. Arrangement and production is heavy heavy work. No wonder John the Ongstar used to look grumpy and edgy all the time. I can empathize now. And he wasn't paid properly most of the time. At least I'll be paid quite ok I think. The artist I'm working for has a budget. 

But yea, lots of little things have been getting on my nerves. Like waiting for taxis for 10 minutes instead of getting one in 1-2 minutes. Like housemate eating up my beloved pineapple bun I was saving in the fridge. Like needing to walk up the hill in hot sun back and forth from the MRT. Like turning up for a lesson and realizing that they've changed the time and they didn't inform me....and i've wasted 3 hours by traveling back and forth. Like burning the pot ...coz I didn't know it heats up SO fast...in 30 secs it literally turned black. Like needing to miss 'One Thing' conference because traveling would take up too much time.  Like my fan suddenly conking out.

But yea. I keep telling myself, I won't remember all of this in a few days time....or a few weeks. And I need to focus. On work, on the vision, and on the things I can be very thankful about. I'm safe, I'm breathing, I'm healthy, I'm blessed, I have work, I have a calling, I have a family. 

Don't sweat the small stuff. It's really hard right now, because every small thing niggles at me and I feel like I'm going nuts.

Love Alicia...but....

I've loved Alicia Keys since I was a teenager. She's gorgeous, talented, with an impeccable image of ghetto funkiness plus classy elegance. Love her voice and love her ideas. But....the lyrics....have more often than not been ...disappointing. I do think this article provides accurate critique of her work.

More Faith....in a GOOD GOD

Today, Miss '爆炸头' - a.k.a Winnie, a chick with a HUGE afro-ish Scary Spice hair-do prayed for me. She doesn't know me, but turned around after service and offered to pray for me. A few things came up during the prayer. She didn't specifically prophesy. But the way she was praying, she was getting stuff from the Spirit. She prayed Prov 4:18 ( The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day)  over me, for some time, stating that God would lead me, and the path would become brighter and brighter, clearer and clearer. I was to have faith. More faith that God would lead me safely and surely. She also stated the need to seek God even more through prayer for his presence and guidance (guilty. It's been difficult to be disciplined about prayer). She prayed and declared that my work would be the platform for many good things God wanted to do through me. The work and the position I had in my work was important, she...
