Giving Thanks

Psalms 107: 1
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

Some of you might know that Messenger took part in a band competition in NUS this week but didn't get past the semi-finals. Even in this disappointment, as i seeked God for His wisdom, His word for me is to give thanks. And I give thanks to Him in all circumstances!

During the course of preparing for this competition, the almost original cast of the band finally got together again since mid-last year. With Angus, myself, Charlie, Christopher and Edward playing together again. God revealed to me that there are many plans He has for us that we do not see or may not comprehend. And just to be able to come back together in this line up to worship and play songs together again is indeed a blessing in itself and we should all thank God for it! We managed to achieve a certain standard in the songs we were preparing for... we know it, God knows it, that's all that matters. Furthermore, as i put further thought into it, Chris managed to make it on time for his encounter weekend starting friday because we didn't make it to the finals. Angus, Charles and myself managed to make it for a wonderful family dinner in chinatown as well. I believe this is all God's plan! And it all falls into place...

Alright brothers, it's actually 5:50am now.. and we just got back from sending our dear brother Eric off to San Francisco. Excuse me while I go and thank God for the wonderful gift that He has blessed mankind with. SLEEP.
