Christmas: Part I-Cannot-Remember-Anymore
Tomorrow, we begin rehearsals for the Christmas play. It shouldn't be that difficult I think - I've been bitching about the lack of a person-in-charge for the longest time, but for the past week or so, I've been getting this feeling that it will all be okay, because God's in control.
It's a rather strange feeling, because I know I'm not handling things, or controlling how they function, I'm not chasing anyone for anything - and things seem to be just coasting along smoothly, and I'm not worried. In fact, I'm worried at how not-worried I seem to be! But I'm just getting this awesome that it's going to be okay, things are fine, just let God take control and it will all be just great.
It's a rather strange feeling to have, and I'm not really used to it - I always say "God's in control, so relax, don't worry, He's got it all covered," to people who are in charge of big events, but the thing about Christianity, and everything that you learn in it is that you never really KNOW until you experience it for yourself. God's provision in time of need, God's divine intervention when you desperately need a time-out, God's infinite love for you - all of us could talk till our throats were parched, our faces blue, (the cow jumped over the moon), but nobody will ever be as touched by words than by an experience with God.
So I guess this is my experience this Christmas: God doesn't need me. Who the * do I think I am?
Anyhow, if you're free, do come down to watch our little skit and videos - there are three altogether, plus a blooper reel (which may or may not materialise depending on my very efficient editor, Eddie - you should see the part which he edited - amazing! I was utterly blown away!)

Oh, and Michelle and Wei Lim got hitched today in Trinity Theological College! Great ceremony - short, and to the point, plus the homily was lovely - very personal, and very warm.
And another thing - a disappointment actually. You know the lovely nativity scene that they have down in Orchard Road? The ones with the solid paintings on them, with explanations beside them? It turns out that Jessie called me when I was in Thailand - I answered, but when she found out I was in Thailand, she just said "Enjoy yourself etc" and told me that we'd meet up when I came back. I spoke with her at the wedding today, and it turns out that she had wanted me to write the copy for the explanations! For Orchard Road! AND SHE DIDN'T ASK ME BECAUSE I WAS IN THAILAND! *shoots myself* I will not dwell on this.
