Apparently there's going to be a super moon tonight. The moon is especially close to earth today, and at about 12am tonight the moon would appear as its largest. I guess I'll be gazing out of my window a lot tonight. The cosmos are so amazing. its just so intriguing.
These last few days have been so hectic, things have been starting to weigh down and i feel increasingly unable to control everything around me... So many things have just been breaking down, but I guess I've been handling it all pretty well so far. Nah, its not so serious, but its just that it feels like its all happening at once. But yet I constantly see God's grace amidst all this craziness. I need to glorify him, because he's really saved me so many times whenever i hit panic mode. i'll get to that soon.
Today was a good day to hit the pause button and troubleshoot all the things that have been going wrong. It was hard to hit pause. It stopped me from going to soccer and dinner, but I guess I reaaaaally needed to do so. SIGH. but oh wells. i managed to1) get some rest, for my lethargy 2) repair the U shaped pipe under my sink that's a bit loose. I need some of that stretchy tape from S, 3) clear out the burnt smell from my failed chocolate pudding from yesterday and 4) clear out all the laundry that needed to be done (because i couldn't do it midweek as the builders came in and out of the apartment.. to rectify problem 5) sigh. 5) clear out the damp musky doggy kind of smell that was due to a wet carpet (now dried)- there was a leak in the shower floor/wall that seeped into the carpet last monday and the builders took all week last week to help me rectify that.
So back to glorifying God amidst all this mess. When I discovered the soggy carpet on monday evening, I was so lucky to have had all the right people at the right time then and there. coincidence? yes. but man, they were all the right people that I needed. Managed to call Ian to come help me out and source out the problem, to check and see if there was anything I could do first. I then found the building manager, who quickly then passed me on to the manager for zen's building works who was just at the lift lobby there and then. (seriously, they should've been headed home already, its was 6pm+). The guys gave me advice and quickly had a plan, which was seriously so reassuring. Honestly I wouldn't have discovered the soggy carpet if I had not been trying to look for a scarf and thankfully the day before (ie last sunday) i took a sweet short 5 min nap at that corner (just because i can, yes don't judge me, i slept in front of the wardrobe cause i was dead tired before heading to soccer) and so i knew that it was definitely dry the day before. Otherwise I wouldn't have noticed it at all. (its a corner that I hardly 'go to'.) haha!
It may all be coincidences, but seriously, it was too good an 'accident' in my own opinion to have happened as such. I thank God, for keeping me calm enough through the whole thing, and bringing the right people in.. even though in my head i was thinking "oh shit oh shit oh shit". hahahaha God's grace was just there throughout the whole thing, even in the midst of my panic yesterday too.. when my chocolate pudding failed TTM at the last minute and smoked up the apartment real bad. (doesn't help that it was dark chocolate- i really don't like that smell. maybe i should've burnt milk chocolate instead. hur hur hur.) Joong Ki came to the rescue its nice to have a man in the house lol- managed to fan the smoke out and stop the smoke alarm from going off for really long, and kel was just so gracious to wait patiently in the car while i handled the crazy upstairs.
His grace has kept me from flooding knee deep in water, getting burned down by my failed chocolate pudding and kept great people around me who have really given me advice, supported and were really patient with me- even putting up with my constant complaints and whining over the past week. I know, I do it a lot- sometimes I even irritate myself. sigh. but hey- to god be the glory! its a simple story, but i think i needed to just share it.
