Focus
In dance; though you may have experience in certain fields of dance, it does not mean that once you become professional in what you do, you do not need to spend time warming up or remembering your basic steps since they are all part of your strong foundation. When I was thinking of learning more new steps in class, my teacher stopped us since one of my classmates was using the wrong technique since his foundation is not built yet. My teacher was saying that,
“You will be surprised what going back to the basics may teach you and at the same time it strengthens your foundation…so as you move on to more ‘vocab’, you can do it with some ease because your basic technique is strong.” -Ms. Tan (my ballet teacher from ASWARA)
Immediately I was taken back and I thought of how I am searching more and more about Christ but is my foundation strong? Am I losing my focus to learn more about Him to serve Him with love and faith or am I just doing it to look smart?
Few weeks later, I was doing this devotion from ODJ(Our Daily Journey with God) and the tittle is ‘come!’. Reading John 1:35-42, what struck me was that Andrew after spending time with Jesus, told Simon ( who was later called Peter) about Christ and I just wanted to cry. How many friends have I talked to about Christ? I have been really busy in college and I just can’t find the right time to talk to them about Christ (majority of them are Malay).
Psalms 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him is his temple.
Dear God,
I pray You will help me have the stamina to continue to seek You and tell others of You.
Keep me focus on You and not to lose my way.
Thank You, Lord for being there for me all the time and I WANT to be there for You too.
Keep my candle burning bright for You.
In Jesus name, Amen.
