God Is My Help

It is amazing how God has been great. The past few days, in fact the past 2 weeks, He has been sustaining me though I was down with flu, fever and cough. I am grateful to Him for that because I had to play the drums for service last Sunday and yesterday and I also had to coordinate my friends' wedding the past two days.

Now that everything is over, I am feeling physically weak - my cough is really bad (cannot seem to get rid of the phlegm), my throat is gone (sore basically and very ticklish); my stomach is little uncomfortable (I hope my ulcer is not acting up again) and got a slight fever (37.6 degrees Celsius).

Well, I guess I can afford to fall sick now. Not that I like to go through that but at least I do not have to worry about so many things at least for the next one week. I shall go see the doctor later when I am done with work.

I want to give glory to God for making my friends' wedding banquet a success. We started punctually at 8pm and everything went well. This morning I panicked a little as I was told of some major changes to the seating arrangements. Though I had already printed the list, I had to do some amendments to it and have them re-printed. I am glad God was there to help the couple and me.

The newly-wed shared about how they met and how they had to go through some rough patches during the courtship. What held them was not just the love God gave them but also how they learnt to adapt and persevere. Coupled that with God's guidance and blessing, they are now joined in union. Praise the Lord for that.

Well, this is the 17th wedding I have planned, 6 more this year. Looking forward to letting God continue to use me to bless my friends and I pray it would be a memorable one for them all. May God be my help.

Talking about playing the drums in my earlier paragraph, Yesterday I was unable to give my all as I was burdened for a few people. I tried as much as I could to not be distracted and I am glad I was able to do that to a certain extent.

Alright, I shall stop here. I can hardly keep my eyes open. Oh yah, my knee feels less painful yesterday. :)

God is good and His love endures forever!

"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song." Psalm 28:7
