Jazz

The thing about Jazz is, I like jazz. I like jazz like espresso. I like jazz like vanilla latte. I like jazz with espresso, with vanilla latte. I like jazz at an age when people around me don't appreciate jazz, theBestie, calls me a weird kid. She always call me a weird kid. But I still like jazz. I still like jazz with espresso. I like the aroma of espresso, and the sound of jazz. I like people who like jazz, coz they can share with me their collection.

Yes, I like jazz, and tonight is a night of jazz.

Where my mind takes a break, where imaginations flutter...

The past few hours had been grueling, many agendas in my mind and work. I prayed admist working. Pray and pray. I am somewhat reminded of the prayer that I had made a few days ago... "Lord, humble me and use me". Of which I think he did, whatever that I am embarking on, will be humanly difficult, almost impossible, I need him and his anointing. So much wisdom required. Circumstances and situations, so tricky, way beyond me. I was once this emotional wreck who abandons everything and hide, embraced escapism as if that is the only way. When 2006 ended with many reconcilations and answered prayers, I expected new challenges to come, and yes they have arrived. Paradox, the somewhat even more challenging challenges, but Chantel is not hiding this time.

Before daybreaks and a crazy day starts I shall treat myself to some jazz, no espresso though, coz I would need to sleep.

I felt as if I had matured. A lil bit. The way words flow from my mind.

I've somewhat learnt to be, less harsh, on myself and people around me. I am learning too to slow down. Often times, I sprint through events, I seemed to neglect people and things around me. The thing about me is, I often look ahead, so focus ahead, I forget about my cheerleaders, or at times sprinted so fast, I crashed into huddles that I'm suppose to jump over. To have bruised and hurt myself, I've learnt to not run so fast. Slow down Chantel, slow down, remember, that this is a marathon, your one audience is watching, and he is patient.

Leading worship for CG this week, leading worship for Gideon's meeting, guitar lessons with Daniel Leow, I pray that all this will work out fine. This week, focus, worship must be sincere.

Jazz and Him =)
