Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.

...if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.
The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

| Isaiah 58:8, 10, 11 |

There you have it... God's called me to go Chiang Mai. No running from it. I wasn't the most enthusiastic about it. I think my sister was more excited about my decision than me. She was jumping around the choir room. Its funny how God needs to tell you something urgently... Just right in your face. Which isn't something to be proud of... In fact, I'm quite ashamed that it happened like this. I haven't been reading the bible much these few days.

Played drums for the last part of service today because Gerald had to leave at that time. Managed to play properly I think... Was a bit uncomfortable with Reverend George Ong shouting through the drum monitors. The volume was already turned up quite loud!!! Had to play with my head turned to one side... :P
Decided to pop down for practice after lunch. Band 2 needed a bassist but I can't play bass so I was supposed to play drums while Jeremy Wee played the bass... But in the end I decided that I would play guitar, Thomson would play the bass and Jeremy would stick with the drums. Seemed to be the best combination. Practice was quite lively and enjoyable. :D

Slacked around the musicians area for quite awhile before heading down to Blooie's with Jeremy Gan. Had wonderful 13 dollar burgers and a glass of beer. Then headed down to The Cheesecake Cafe to visit Rachelle. She was acting...... odd. Haha! Slakced there with Xiong and Dennis till 9:30pm.

In closing...
Sometimes you wish and you plead with chance to make things happen... But chance plays no part in the path God planned for you... And He reminds you that you are blameless in His sight. He chooses not to look at them and not to harp on them. But there will always be consequences and repercussions. You have to accept them for the mistakes you've made.
