Time really flies. It has been 2 months since my last entry. I have been really busy, and so many things have happened within 2 short months. To cut a long story short, I was a 'guest star' hawker for 2 months, helping Mr. Caveman. This experience has really given me a deeper understanding of his work, thus enabling me to understand him better, and gave me a higher tolerance level for his occasional moodiness. Through this stint, we have not only become closer, but I actually get to know his mother better as well. There is also a death in my extended family which I have to deal with, as well as coping with my own stress and frustrations. To help me relax and exercise, Mr. Caveman has taken me hiking a couple of times this month. And to top it all, I gave my first ever testimony in church last month. Before I realise it, 2 months zipped by without a single blog entry.
But I digress. My entry today is to share the way God moves things.
4 months ago, I planned for my choir group to have a year end concert. But we sorely lack the funds to hold a proper concert. My choir group consists of very rich ladies, but unfortunately our choir funds were very low. There was only RM400 to start with, and to hold a concert, we'll have to rent an auditorium, rent the sound system, and rent a piano to begin with. The sum we have is only enough to cover the piano rental! So I prayed. I asked God to make this concert possible for us, then I left it in His very capable hands.
Fast forward to 4 months later, God has gotten us a beach hotel to sponsor our concert, and we'll be holding it in their ballroom, complete with sound system, seating arrangements, as well as refreshments for the audience. All for free! I have roped in a UK-trained fashion designer friend to design my choir's outfit, and he didn't charge us a single cent. A student of mine has agreed to be my second pianist for free, and another volunteered to be our photographer. And best of all, Brother Dominic, our church's resident professional guitarist, has agreed to play for the concert as well. As for the piano, 2 of my choir members decided to bear the rental cost. We also save the cost of designing the invitation and the concert programme, as I did it myself.
And the RM400 is still sitting snugly in our choir cash box, untouched so far!
God is moving everything smoothly towards the concert. With every move, this concert has been tested and confirmed that it has God's blessings. 24 days to go. I'll do my best to play my role and make this concert a success. The rest I'll leave in God's capable hands.
