“On Wednesday night is a concert, do you have time?”
“No, I have worship service to play.”
“On Saturday night we plan to cook together, are you in?”
“No, I have worship service to play.”
“Family call at 9.30 p.m. Malaysia time!”
“Sorry I cannot join, I have worship service to play.”
After worship service is before another worship service since last week. This is my current situation. Worship service as I stated in previous blog is very important to me. However, after a week, it is very tiring. Worship service with string ensemble, with choir, my own organ solo, with soloists. I almost exchanged the liturgy of yesterday afternoon with the liturgy for morning service. Still I am thankful that everything worked as planned. Also thankful for I was able to make time to listen to a good quality organ performance of Prelude and Fugue in E Minor BWV 548.
This Easter is very meaningful to me as I am embarking a new life journey after Easter. My visa is prolonged until the end of June. After Easter I will have to gather documents to apply for a freelancer visa. I will do what I can, but really, no forcing and no compromising. Nothing good coming by force and compromised.
If you have followed my blog for a while, you knew that how I love blackbird and his singing. In one book “From Field and Forest” by Anna Koska, she points out another important life lesson that one could learn from blackbird: remarkable persistence to make his voice heard each and every morning. I think of my blackbird, he started to sing when the tree still bare until the new leaves occurring. Just keep singing in all kind of circumstances.
