Hello... Spent about 2 hours in my room with God before I slept last night. I was supposed to be thanking him but I ended up pouring all my frustrations and worries to Him again... I feel that with year 2 out of the way, I've reached another waypoint and I need to re-coordinate and get my directions right. I'm beginning to see the direction that I'm going but I can't help but feel that I've plateaued in my life again... Why is it that I always settle for what I have now? When God has promised so much more? Is it wrong to accept what I have now and make myself comfortable in my present situation? Or should I struggle and fight and work towards something that only God knows? It seems that you would put your hope and trust in something thats constant. Being the only constant in this sick, disgusting and deranged world, it seems that God is getting far too little of that.

I've been inspired more and more by bands like 'coldplay' and 'something corporate' to start learning how to play the piano again... I tried playing last night and the sounds that came from the piano were so beautiful... Felt like I was being carried away by the sounds. Not that I'm any good at playing... Just that the piano is such a wonderful intrument.

I'll be going to zouk tonight... It'll be my first time there. Melvin will be having his school's graduation show there... Thank God for the free tickets. Don't think I'll stay too late though... I'm playing for service tomorrow...

Haha... See what I meant? This was what I was talking about...

::: Verse of the Day :::
"Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ." | Galatians 1:10 |
