Build up

i'm listening to soulful music. and it's making me feel soulful, watever that means.

My dad has been listening to sermons in the car lately. Most of the time, when he picks me up, he's already halfway through it. Moreover, we still try to maintain a conversation. So, it ends up that i only manage to catch a few words. My dad may seem like he can multi-task. However, i later found out that he has been listening to the same sermon maybe for the fifth time? Anyway, all i'm tryin to say is that i may be getting thing out of context.

'build character'

this ties in with mybelief that no matter wat one goes through, at the end of it, one must be made a better person.

and this 'build up' theme was reiterated when E told the touch team to help one another play better. And i thought, yea, when i help others play better, chances are that i can play better too.

Just in case u r wondering how this 'build up' thing came about in the sermon. The speaker was talking about healing. And how some people are healed almost immediately after praying and there are also those who have persist, go through the pain of the disease and finally, be healed. He said that it is easy to think that the one who was healed immediately appears to be more blessed. However, it is the character of the one who had to endure that is built up. And in the end, he benefits more from the healing process.




So, if u think u r goin through something that doesn't look like it's goin to end soon, remember not to neglect praying and building up. And press on.
