blessings in disguise

Today i'm too lazy to think and i just want to thank ms jo teo for ordering us to go to mass on friday. it was, needless to say, a good experience. first of all, going to the mass meant that i've visited the prayer room twice this year, which is quite a record. secondly, there was free food afterwards. (too bad i already had my lunch beforehand.) thirdly, going to mass on friday meant that i didn't have to go again today, so i could sleep in. :)

But most significantly, the sermon was really good. the priest basically said that when God gave humans free will, He no longer has any control over the decisions that we make. even when God wants to help, He is unable to intervene due to our free will. it is only when we give Him permission to change things that he will assist us in our troubles.

sometimes, we go around angrily wondering where God is when we need Him. but He's always there, and we're the ones who are blind.

sometimes, all you have to do, is ask.

i hope i never forget that.
