Understanding

Throughout my stay in Calgary, people kept asking me about my future, given I'm already done my master's degree. I told them I was going to pursue yet another certificate called the Diploma in Music Performance at UBC, which will take me another two years.

If I had told 100 people about my conditions, I dare to say up to 98 people responded with more questions, "Why do you still need to study? Haven't you already got a master's degree? (... deleting many more subsequent questions)" I then had to use even more breath to explain my career ambitions and what-not. Every time I had to explain my situation, I felt more and more insensitive and annoyed to what I say. What don't people just be cool with I'm about to do and stop asking demanding questions?

Two people understood. One night I was having dinner with my fellowship counsellors (in Calgary of course), and as I told them about my dreams, they said they totally understood why I had to study more. They could even detect my mentality towards my plans. Wow, I was so amazed and thankful since I could finally find someone who think in the same page (even though they are not musicians) as I do.

I realize God is truly an understanding God. Even though I always know He is an understanding God, as it shows in His Words, I never trust it wholeheartedly because I haven't got an extraordinary experience. But He knows I am weak, so through my endless sharing with people about my future plans, He shows me His wonderful attribute in a very obvious way.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, once again. I love You.
