One of the FireAC guys shared this on Tuesday morning, I think: “The night sky is darkest just before the sun rises.” It was used in the context of a message regarding prayer. This phrase spoke to me very clearly.

Before Tuesday’s late night rehearsals for Love/Retreat, I was utterly depressed. The lights were holding us back, the acting was shoddy, we were all at a loss of what would happen on Friday night. Prayers? We said them. I said them. But there were times when no blessing seemed sufficient, that God would not answer. These doubts were proved wrong. At the rehearsal on Tuesday night, which lasted close to 11, there was so much improvement in the acting. The next day, the preview went spectacularly. 

Whether or not it is scientifically correct that the sky is darkest just before the sun rises, I do not know. What I do know is that God brought the entire production out of the darkness, and delivered us greatly. It was in God’s grace alone that Love/ Retreat turned out the way it did. Glory to God!

… I have time to type this short post before leaving for school. 

Chinese New Year celebrations over the last few days in Malaysia were quite fun, even thought I spent lots of time trying to work. Family, is always important, and worth braving the 4 hour car ride for. I’m pretty sure I ate more that I had too on more than one occasion, and it was loads of fun. Its a comforting thought that I can start training after Love/ Retreat for the upcoming races.  

Okay printing’s done. Keep praying for me.
