I've been wanting to write this entry for the longest time but i didn't have the chance to because I'm too busy and caught up with my final year project that finally ended yesterday! :)
Anyway, here's how the story goes...one fine day, i decided to shoot my tv commercial and i needed a break dancer. Initially i got my classmate to help me out but he told me that he knows how to break dance a bit only and that he could only be available on a Monday. Initially, I was fine with it but the more I think about it, I realise I do not have much time left and Monday was too late for me. I prayed to God and believed that he will provide because I truly believe that he has a great plan for me. Then, I started talking to Cheryl on msn. It was so random and I didn't know what exactly prompted me to ask her this question,"Do you happen to know of anyone who can break dance?" Apparently her reply was," Yes I know...but it's an indirect friend." And she manage to help me find a break dancer! (Thank you so much!)
The very next day I started msging the break dancer. Wow! He was actually very nice and was willing to help me out with my tv commercial!! At that instance, it just felt as though Jesus had shown himself to me in the form of this stranger. I never expected a stranger to help me out for free or ask anything back in return. On the day of the shoot, I've arranged to bring him to school. Unfortunately, it was a Sunday and the school's technicians weren't around to switch on the air con. The classroom was like a sauna room yet he still wore over his hoodie jacket and did all the break dancing moves for me. Although he said that he wasn't a professional break dancer but i do think he is very professional in his acting and dancing. With that, I secretly gave him a nickname called "Little Pro". On a side note, I was very lucky too because Little Pro has exactly the kind of look and built that I was looking for. With his specs on, he just looks average but the moment he took them off and dressed in that hoodie jacket outfit...I found out that he was actually damn good looking! Absolutely perfect for my tv commercial!! To further add on, I was thankful that Addi is able to lend me his video cam and he has also helped me out a great deal with the file conversion! Then, there's the voice over part too. Wow I never expected tm to do the recording perfectly in the tone of voice that I wanted! Everything just falls into place unknowingly. God has provided everything that I needed. I just can't thank him enough.
Yesterday being the day of assessment, I had to set up my work in an exhibition mode and do a presentation after that. Everything was set up so nicely until I experience some technical difficulties. My laptop just had to black out exactly at that time and day when I needed to display my work. Before I left the house and head for church, it was still working fine because I switched it on to retrieve Andrena's files. It's funny too because when I found out that the laptop wasn't working, I didn't really panic terribly or was even stressed out greatly by it. My mind just went like...O Lord, this can't be happening right??? I don't believe you've given me so much blessing just for this disaster to happen. Thankfully there was Travis who was willing to share his mac with me. (It's really funny because Travis somehow resembles Adam and it's always that particular kind of people who set up their work beside mine. I remembered last time when Adam set up his work beside mine, he shared his super long black cloth with me. I was thankful because when I whip out my black cloth, I realised it wasn't even long enough to cover the entire table.) The Lord just pours out his blessing over me. Anyway back to the story, so I loaded my stuff into Travis's laptop and I got a shock because the micro site files were not in there! Worst still, the night before I even deleted the files from my thumb drive, thinking I won't need them anymore. But luckily I was smart enough to upload the micro site to some free web host because I wanted to use it for testing. So I manage to retrieve it online and use it for display. Was pretty lucky after all.
Actually I'm thankful to God that the laptop black out. Through that incident, he broke my pride and taught me to be humble. I just had the mentality that I could go to him directly in prayer and I do not need anybody else to pray on my behalf. That's when I realise I was too proud of myself and I needed to rely on the prayer of others too. Thanks to the bunch of people who prayed for me. For the later part of the day when the presentation took place, my mind was just at peace. I said one hail mary before I walked into the room to present my work to a panel of 6 lecturers with confidence. Actually it can be quite intimidating but I didn't have such feeling at all because all I had in mind was...these lecturers are on my side too. They just need to know what exactly is my project about. I manage to cover everything that I had in mind with clarity. For that, I only need to answer 2 questions which wasn't tough at all. Deep within I just know I fared well for it.
At night, decided to drop by udders for ice cream with Joy. Finally for once, there's something that went into my mouth and it tasted so good. Earlier on in the day, lunch was terrible. I don't know why. Ordering my favourite longan freeze didn't help at all because it just tasted bad on that day. Dinner was just so-so. The ice cream was by far the best!! It makes me happy too! While we eat, we're still talking about the presentation. Joy was worried about it because she was very affected by some of the questions posed by the lecturers and she didn't know how she fared. I didn't know how to console her and all i did was to ask if she has done her best? She said yes and I told her...then let God do the rest. Thank God she's a christian who shares a common belief as I do and we have a common topic on God! Indeed, God did worked a miracle for her too! When I came home and check the school's portal, I found something positive in there for her.
Besides that, I'm thankful that God answered my prayer for Andrena too. She was sooo stressed up because she simply had too much to do and can't finish her work. This morning she even called and asked if she should go and see the lecturers because one of her digital files was messed up. Luckily the 2 lecturers that assessed her were our very own lecturers who were rather understanding.
The way God works is really amazing and one new discovery is that God actually answers all our prayers. He really does, for every single one of them! The only thing is...sometimes his answer is no or wait. O my Lord and my God, who is so full of love that in him, there's complete joy.
Lastly, thank you dear friends who have helped me in one way or another for my project. I'm so grateful and touched to have you people as my friends. May God shower his blessings upon you abundantly!
