Blessed. Content.

I was traveling on the train today, plugged to my music. I was praying and people watching. I realised how noisy and busy life is - people are on their phones, playing games, talking to friends, listening to music. Nobody seems to be at peace or anything along that line. I began to yearn to be still and be at peace. But amidst this noisy and busy life, is it possible? Is is possible to hear God's voice amidst busy-ness?

I started to think about my life. I started to think of all the negatives - grades aren't good enough, people aren't as supportive as i thought they were, unsure of what i live for and the list goes on. It's funny how we always focus on the negatives of life. It's so easy to list down ALL the negatives in our lives, everything bad just flows out. But it's just so hard to be content with what we're blessed with. And here i am, finally understanding that God is trying to teach me to be content with what He's blessed me with.

1. Being able to wake up every morning.
2. Have a loving family - daddy, mummy, ling, lap, jing - thank you for loving me unconditionally.
3. Ben - thank you for trying your bestest to make me happy.
4. Friends - who care and encourage me.
5. Friends who serve with me - church and SO.
6. Having a bed to sleep in.

Actually, it is very easy to be happy in life - be content with what you're blessed with.
THANK YOU LORD!
