Oh, this is so sweet!
I don't know how I managed to lump my research, interaction with readings and my thoughts together (although I hope that my paper is more than a Heffalump), but I finally did amidst all the craziness in the past few weeks. Not by strength, nor by power - but by the Spirit of the Lord, I believe. I wasn't sure, even up till today afternoon, which direction my paper was supposed to take. Not a case of indecisiveness - but I was really clueless. As evening approached, suddenly everything clicked and I realised that I did know how to write the final part of my paper!
Thank God.
Was I inspired by that the soft, fluffy and buttery croissant I ate at teatime?
Well then, after all the BREAD and croissants my paper has inspired me to eat recently (a major part of my paper was on Israel's manna in the wilderness), it had better be worth it. I actually feel.... fat. Rawrrrr.....
Am I ready to present my paper? Not really. But I am so glad that I will have two days for preparation. Critique my own paper. Get ready for some bullets to be fired at me, haha. I might want to make some sentences more succinct too.
Classes at the seminary were on today, albeit a public holiday - and everyone else was probably sleeping in. Thankful I went though. There was such freedom in playing the piano for chapel service. While I've often grumbled about the pianos at the seminary and nicknamed one "Goongkey" by virtue of the kind of sound it produces (moaned about some other things too), I will miss serving as a pianist at MBTS after I've graduated. It has been four magical years of learning and growing as a musician, beyond the four-walls of church. God has been so gracious to affirm, teach, prune and deepen within the context of participating in teams as well as playing solo. In fact, it has been fun! I wonder what and where next. I certainly still have lots of space for growth and improvement.
