God of the small things

CMW this year was done on alot smaller scale
hmm
well
i mean at least the j1s didnt have to run around and get burnt out just as they step up

haha

but really
i thank God for the work He does,
and yeah sometimes we need to do less and let Him do more

as much as we should try and own the events and make the tbest that we can manage,
at least from our standing
sometimes
well less is more
after a fashion
especially when our meddling gets us no where


i was really encouraged by the willingness of the J1s, to take the menial tasks,
to stay back late just to finish door gifts...
as much as it seems like trivial tasks

sometimes i think those are the activities we look back most fondly at
the late nights spent painting,
the late practices
the cutting pasting painting and glueing
Samuel Sim once told me once while we laboured to paint photo framse
that the times he was fond of was the times spent labouring together
and i guess there is a truth in the statement,
that the best bond is sometimes forged through the mundane...

i would really like to commend the j1s for their excellent spirit and willingness
haha
repeating myself
well
reminds me of a time a year ago
CMW rehersals
and all the log ppl who were supposed to turn up bailed on me
i still thank God and really my heart still goes out to the j2s who sacrificed their study time to help me move potted plants and clear the stage and set stuff up

they really taught me what being a senior means
and well
even though im the unsentimental and unfeeling one,
i guess i have to try my best to emulate their example...

and so i guess its true, that contentment is found in the now, in living life,
not vicariously
but fully
doing what we can, the mundane the menial

ambition is important
yes
but i guess
ive never really aimed that high

i guess sometimes we must try to excel in the little things first....

may we all learn to live and look back
and be in astounded by the fact that as much as we havent done,
we have no regrets
