A quiet Friday

A quiet day.

Quiet ~ especially because I haven't been talking much due to my URTI (upper respiratory tract infection). Coughing, sputum, laryngitis and etc. Wanted to save some voice for worship rehearsal tonight. It would be also nice to have a voice on Sunday so that I can address the congregation if I need to. To my pleasant surprise, the whole worship team turned up at the church sanctuary within the first 5-10 minutes of our scheduled rehearsal time and were tuned in to work on our repertoire by 15. WOW! I truly appreciate all their hard work. I haven't worked with some of today's musicians in the previous times I was leading, so it was an interesting challenge blending things together. We finished rather early today - probably because I made this week's worship a little shorter than usual. Not sure how it will work out this Sunday. I'm gonna be praying hard. But I want to praise God for everything ~ He already knows how it will all fare, and He will make things work together for good as He has guided me in the song selection. (I just hope that I have been attentive enough!) Thanks for the prayers, to those who have been praying.

Quiet ~ also because Ben is away at a retreat and I have the whole house to myself. *Chuckles in my heart* Could create a ruckus in here for fun... and nobody would care... but nah. I miss him.

Felt so drugged and drowsy throughout the day - was feeling kinda sad and empty for some reason too - but there were the simplest joys that kept my mood from dipping too low. Seeing my friends in school... attending mentoring group at the Missions Hut... bumping into some lecturers before I left school for home... bumping into the hubby at the lifts of our flat just before he left for his retreat... crunching the addictive popcorn Rachel gave me the other day... listening to music on Youtube (especially Joe Hisaishi)... etcetera.

One more week left to go before Easter weekend. I pray for a fresh perspective of Christ's death for my sins this year.
