When days are long and work is dreary...

Hot hot days in the classroom, losing my voice big time..think i developed larygnitis, my voice really cracked lei...oh gosh, please heal me Lord!!..These days I have been jamming quite a few worship CDs ...just seeking that peace that I so long desired, noises built up all around me, my kids in class, the war that is going on in my head....seeking that peace....

On days like these, I really "soak" myself in worship unto the Lord...its when down times I know i should hold on all the more to Adonai. hahah the other side of my character is seeping out....and according to my shep hahah ..this has affected some people in my group...I look so scary ah? wahahah i chuckle to myself..no la not the evil twin Rac...just slightly more contemplative, not wanting to be a joker all the time, shouldn't I?

Pride? A battle of not wanting to let my defences down? Protection against myself? I am not sure...but one thing I am very certain....I hope I have not hurt anyone, cos I just want some quiet moments...not that I am against anyone wor...
Bear with me guys...

Bought two albums recently, Paul Baloche "A Greater Song" and Philips, Criag and Dean "The Ultimate Collection" ..very good buys....think one of the songs which I learnt last Wed when I attended Paul Baloche's workshop is this "I will Boast" very catchy and nice tune...that stucks in my head...Indeed, I will boast of the Lord my God alone...from Psalms...
Something that Paul shared that touched me was his simple humility towards just wanting to serve God and for His people to come to worship God. I was so touched by that workshop, really lifted my spirits up many many notches...Reading from the book of Psalms, the words of the song just flowed from his mouth as exhibited a lifestyle of worship unto the Lord....okay la..back to my marking...:P
