in my head a rhythm rings
in my heart a small voice sings

driving me on each day
drawing me closer to the upward call

my body feels weak
frustrated with the little hours of sleep
often i find myself consumed by fatigue

nevertheless the spirit reigns over the flesh
overcoming the lethargy
taking control over uncontrollable emotions

Victory prevails

Been really stretched and overstretched and toostretched and stretched.

I need more time... more time with my friends, more time with my family, more time for myself, more time more more more....

Many of us who are stretched often wished we had more than 24 hours. In fact, some even feel unjust for the lack of time and the numerous tasks at hand. Years ago, my senior pastor actually commented that "24 hours was not enough" for him to a foreign pastor. As a pastor and founder of a church, it was understandable he would say that because he not just had to handle the pioneering work(aka "Sai Gahng"), he also had to preach, to disciple, to shepherd the many many members in the church.
At the point when he mentioned "24 hours was not enough" to a foreign pastor, he got rebuked!
The foreign pastor said something like, "God is fair, He gave everybody 24 hours. If 24 hours is not enough, it means you don't know how to manage your time!"

When I heard this story, I felt convicted. As much as I wished there were more than 24 hours a day, I also know that I had to manage my time better.

Yup.. I need to manage my time well, so that in the midst of drumming practices and perfomances, I would not neglect my studies. And in the midst of drumming and academic work, I would continue to build and maintain relationships with friends and family members.
