the two collide


on the one hand, i am so full of joy and faith in God.

- after a phone call from a friend last week, i realised and learnt that God wanted me to just entrust all these things into his hands and commit it all to him. it's not my burden, it's HIS. i am just here to do his will and his work. and this morning, i simply worshipped him from the depths of my heart and i knew he listened. i have put my significance, security and worth in him - the one who will never fail me. he alone is my strength and my shield.

- before service today, i read psalm 37:


3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.

17 for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18 The days of the blameless are known to the LORD, and their inheritance will endure forever.
19 In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.

23 If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm;
24 though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

28 For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off;

34 Wait for the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD; he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
40 The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.


on the other hand, i am so paranoid about exams.

- my violin teacher was telling me off for not practicing my scales enough after i told her i only do 10 minutes of scale practice each day. so today, i did one hour of practice (just scales!) and i hope i'm ready for my exam on the 13th of november.

- year 11 exam (methods) in 4 weeks, year 10 exams in 5 weeks. i just want them to come and finish already so i can stop being so paranoid about it all.


and so i am so confused about what i actually feel at the moment, because i really feel a billion things at once.
