A breath of fresh air

I attended a vocal training course recently. And all this while, I realised that I've been singing without breathing properly. I needed to take in a bigger breath to support my diaphragm and let it out slowly to be able to hit my notes with greater intensity and duration.

It's something like that. I've found a deeper, more lasting breath. I can breathe easy, I can smile longer, I can look ahead with so much more confidence. This recent breath of fresh air...it comes from a familiar place: the loving hand of God. Whenever I heard the term "He makes all things beautiful, in His time...", I used to roll my eyes...but WHEN??? i used to scream in side me.

But how true that is. God in His infinite wisdom, is really the giver of all things good, precious, beautiful and of such perfection even in apparent flaws. And it really does come, in His time. There had to be a lot of preparation though... I had to become the person that would be ready to handle such a precious and rare diamond.

Reading my previous entry...i realised 2010 was such a year of breaking and moulding and making me into the person that He wanted me to be. And so much has happened since then. I pray that I have been forged into the man and servant that he wants me to be. And the man and servant worthy of such a gift.

Although in getting this gift, there are uncertainties and questions, yet there is an amazing amount of calmness and peace that I've never felt before. Divine provision no doubt. The journey with this precious gift seems to be paved with shaping, moulding, patience building, respect and a mutual understanding that before this seemed completely incomprehensible and utterly unattainable, yet what an exciting journey it is!

With confidence, boldness and courage, I can truly say, "He makes all things beautiful, in His time!". How great is our God! :)

Jesus, continue to be the centre of it all.
