gloria is lost in her third dimensional world

Day 2.
Woke up to the knockings and drillings from my neighbour’s renovators. It is really getting on my nerves because whenever I wake up to that noise, I get a headache. Ok, maybe it was because I slept late. :’(
Was having such a bad headache during lecture so I made this big plan to go home after this until I recall that home is out of bounds. *sigh * Ben said that I looked like I was traveling in the third world dimension. HAHA. Thinking back, it is really funny how he phrased it. Skipped lunch and my meeting and went to the library to do my own work. Felt good. Finally some time alone!! Amazing thing was that it was one of my most productive sessions! Thank God!!
Suddenly I am feeling the pressure from myself that MIMBY is one month away and time is running out. I dreamt about MIMBY twice!! Thank God for the many people in my life who have been messaging me words of encouragement, being an encouragement through their attitudes and diligence, and the letters. ☺
I like a particular part that I read during my QT.
“We have a tendency to look for wonder in our experience, and we mistake heroic actions for real heroes. It’s one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us…”
I must remember that the success of MIMBY is not measured by how smoothly things run for MIMBY, but my DAILY attitude as I serve. The amount of things I have to consider as I plan for try to coordinate the various committees is no easy feat! Yesterday I had to make a decision whether to change the theme for MIMBY. Changing it at this point in time is very scary. When I gave the nod to change the theme, my heart felt like it was going to burst through my ribcage! This have absolutely nothing to do with being dramatic, I mean it.
Let’s just continue to pray and trust.
That night I listened to my itunes library in search for MIMBY songs and I came across my favourite OST and this song ‘Sometimes’ by Gabrielle. I think I shall add this to my list that I was telling the Ang sisters and Ranald about ;)
We’ve come too far we
can’t turn back
Have our good days, have our bad
When I’m feeling blue
You say that I’m hurting you
We try so hard not to fight
But sometimes we cross the line
And I wanna leave
But you
Won’t let me
We have our highs and lows
Just like everybody else
Doesn’t mean that we walk away
We work through our mistakes
Chorus:
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes I don’t
But I never ever
Never want to let you go
The road’s not easy
But the feeling’s strong

It’s the little things that
keep me holding on
We’re both guilty of mistakes
Though you rarely take the blame
Are you coming through
Sometimes
I hate you
But it’s not mistakes
in life you make
It’s the good you do along the way
The dues you pay
We have our highs and lows
Something everybody knows
Doesn’t mean that we run away
We work through our mistakes
Chorus
Ohhh
Of all the crazy things in
life there’s pain
It’s you and me
We’ve come so far
sometimes I can’t believe
That I wouldn’t change a thing
Chorus x 3
