You made a way...

i wasnt feeling in the best of moods today when i got up. i put on a white inner-shirt, a black giordano collared tee and a nice pair of giordano jeans with my tan shoes and trudged to church. too many things happening all at once recently and i'm trying to get a grip on things.

in church, it was communion service and i had pretty much consciously told myself that i wouldn't take part in the service as i really felt down in the dumps. the music was great... the chamber choir sang and shimona, if you're reading this, you guys did a great job! i'm sorry i didn't say that to you in person; i know it would mean a lot more, but i'm just not feeling too upsy-daisy right now. anyways, pappu asked if i was gonna take part and i said no... i sat there for a bit and then suddenly david is behind and he goes like "hey nat, you gonna take part in the foot washing?"

"nope... not feeling too great. don't feel like taking part this time round"

"oh... um... okay... its just that i dont have a partner for the foot-washing" he replied after looking around a bit

i thought for a split-second and i dont know what came over me... "okay, tell you what, lets go. i'll wash your feet" i went.

i walked with him to the hall with the wash basins and i must say that i wasn't all too chirpy... i was doing it because i felt bad for him i guess? no one to wash his feet? oh well... what the heck, i'll do it... im a nice guy anyway, why ruin that "great self-image" that you want to portray?

so we're in the room and he gets his socks and shoes off... i kneel down and everything suddenly goes blank for a second. i'm wondering what's happening and what's going on... i take his hand and we pray. the prayer was a wonderful prayer and i felt my burdens lifted for that one moment... and the rest of the day has changed pretty much after that. one part of my prayer went like..." Lord, i didn't want to take part in this today, but You brought David over here and led me here. I don't know how and why You've done this... but i really appreciate it. I'm casting my cares, my burdens on you right now and I'm not gonna bug You about it because I know that You always hear and You never forget. I know that You'll answer me in Your own good time and I'm thankful enough for that promise..."

i'm back in my room resting before rehearsal in about an hour's time for the Festival of Faith. Just sharing what God can do for someone :)
