Reflections on the storm

Storm passes over,
ships pummeled, broken, scattered
desolate scene-destruction,
from depths,
Dark Creatures rise...

God alone knows how i hate submission due times...that terrible last minute rush no matter how early one starts..whether u're a work perfectionist like mi or simpli bochup in life (also like mi)...even though i started my design right from the beginning and settled all concptual issues long before my due date which was more fortunate than some frens who were trying to figure out where goes where and what does what at literally the eleventh hour the night before submissions...n though i started everything for actual presentation drafting one week before..and it usually takes 3 days to draft and 3 to 3.5 days for model making which should have seen mi finish by 12 midnight thursday..stilli took longer than expected and finished at 5 pm yesterday..good thing lecturer gives grace period for those who travel far to get to uni...if not sure late liao...dis year work is worse man than last year's..

and when one looks at other people's submisions, one alwaez sees e amazing presentations they've done compared to one's own...and the great limitations, flaws and inadequacies in my own work...why does my work suck so much even after so much effort...my design really looks so shabby inspite of my placing of external verandahs, indoor courtyards, use of open plan design and lots of glass internally...i'm screwed dis time i feel...gonna get hammered..

n of course, the dudes i work with at studio all non-christian...when together workin they super ungodly one...they better not see dis man...great frens but different lifestyle i guess..n no time to pray n read bible...it realli feels awful man...n had 2 miss weekly mon nite Focus group and tues bible study...sianz..dats architecture for u...no life, no galfren, no money(we are usually poor pple n definitely the poorest professionals aroun), no time, no end...praise God i can say i still have Jesus n He's everything 2 mi n for mi..

when the going gets tough, all the more we should turn to Him. and well it's not really ok to miss bible study and all that but in such cases, i guess we don't have to be guilty or upset abt it cos ultimately it's whether God is in our hearts that matters right!!

N share w u Rom 14:10 heehee hope it helps. don't judge ur non christians frenz w contempt but to correct em with love. n truly out of God's love. cos we're all sinnners saved by the same blood right? =)
