Dear all,

Thank you for coming by every so often to check out my blog:) it was especially exciting for me when I saw 25 views yesterday after being silent for so long! I apologize for the wait, and please let me explain why—

1. I've been quite busy. Adding on top of this week’s crazy workload and the usual schoolwork, I'm getting a little bit anxious as I feel like I’m behind in my observation hours and reports for my music education classes.

2. I've been feeling like a hypocrite. I’ve been catching myself with ungodly attitudes often these days that I feel like I shouldn’t and couldn’t write anything.

3. I've been spiritually down. I don’t know why, and I wonder whether other people also experience this, but sometimes I’m more depressed than other times. I understand the concept of always taking joy in God, but somehow I haven’t been able to put it into practice yet. Please pray for me.

This week in T252, we studied a little bit on the 4th movement of the magnificent work of Brahms’ Requiem. I was touched deeply by the lyrics—

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
Psalms 84:1,2 &4

I wonder when I can truly dwell in the presence of the Almighty one and be fully content in Him alone. When I’m strong in spirit, I praise and worship Him. When I’m weak in spirit, I want to continue to praise and worship Him. I pray that the Holy Spirit may overflow me as I continue to learn to be fully content in God and by God alone.

I hope all is well with everyone:) May God's will be done on this earth.

Love,
Anna
