oooo.. can u feel the the light coming soon.. i can and i am so awaiting. despite meaning my pockets will be burnt a super duper big hole. sobz. it is definitely one of the best time of the year becos:
1. no school. (woo hoo!!)
2. holidays - DUH!
3. Christams!! - the coming of our Lord... =)
4. presents!! wheee..
5. a new beginning for EVERYTHING
so peeps. dun you think this is like the BEST month.. heh. tmr is the ALLUME 2006.. so exciting. CSS christmas celebrations. being in charge for deco. wonder how will everything look like all together tmr. will they look ugly? corny? or just plain.. hmmz i guess i shall not really be so worried right. He will never give us what we cannot bear. so yupz. God will provide. i really thank God for this role. or say just the being around for the preparation cos that's where i made really nice friends and build this r/s i would say. the laughters we had while doing the decos, the craziness singing randomly in orchard. glad to have them all. =) so what are you guys waiting for? ready for allume 2006? it will rock!
oh oh.. today was also my first time going for CAROLLING! and i love it. the love part is not the singing and then no one clap lah. but the love part is the joy and thank you- the patients say to you after you sings regardless how off tune or terrible we may sound. it is just so heart warming. there was this ward that touched my heart. we went in and sang for this girl who i think was really really ill and prob had ops. her family was with her, surrounding her. and as we sing.. it can be sensed that the family was deep in thoughts. sad i would describe. as we ended the singing.. they thanked us and our conductor asked all of us to say a prayer together to pray with the family for her. oh yes her name is nancy. and so we prayed. to me i guess that is the true meaning of christmas. bringing God and his hope of coming again this advent. to be with us to grant us the hope we have in him. tear was welling up in the family members' eyes as we ended the prayer. and i can tell mine was also about to well up. it is just how contradictory that at one point we are singing so happily and yet the other we are afraid. afraid of not holding on enough to the hope of him coming. i guess this is also the beauty of Faith. but regardless. this has totally brought a whole new meaning of carolling for me. and i would say. i love carolling. to brighten up someone's day. to bring joy and cheer that Jesus is coming. and to remind his coming.
so before i end off my day to get my rest for a long day tmr.. i want to just ask everyone to take 5mins of your time. whether you are catholic or non catholic. just to remind ourselves of the people who are sick and not well during this advent. to pray for them to be strong this advent and hold that hope for Him to come.
Lord we are gathered together as children of yours. you give us your promise of coming. and this christmas we await for your son Jesus. for the hope that many have in you. for the blessings that we seek. We want to thank you for all that you have given us as well. the ability to even be singing carols to people who are not well. we thank you for that. we thank you for giving us the ability to spread your word and love. during this advent season lord, i offer up my days to you. to let you do your work through me and many others. if it is your will lord let it be done. teach me to accept myself. give me the courage for the things that i need to deal with in life. tonight i pray for Nancy who is holding on to the promise you made. the coming of Jesus. the coming of Hope. let her never fear and bless her, lord, with the strength that she needs for her everyday struggles. this i ask through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
