HIS Creation

TIME: 9:30 PM

Just watched american idol. The good news, Jordin aint out, Melinda aint out, Blake aint out, Lakisha aint out, Chris aint out and Phil aint out. Therefore, no elimination this week becuase of "Idol Gives Back". However, next week there's gonna be elimination of the bottom 2. Oh well. They have to fit into the schedule somehow.

Anyway, watching Idol gives back made me quite emotional just now. The many stories about so many different kids around the world(well, actually more towards America and Africa) suffering from lack of food, education, healthcare and protection from bad influences, just got to me. Especially the stories about this african boy and his sister. Both of them lost their parents at a very young age, and so they lived together in a "house" that's probably not much bigger than my room. Every day, they get themselves to school, clean what they have, cook what they have(which probably isnt much). And about 14 children, 3 of which HIV positive, living in a room thats about the size of a tent, sleeping on a mat. Then there are stories about children who die from starvation or HIV or malaria, simply cause they dun have enough or they cant get to the hospital in time.

Then I think about what I have now, I got food, shelter, security. I got air-con, lights, computers. And then I think about some of the things I've done. Like not consuming some of the anti-malaria pills army gave me for post bmt. Complaints about school. Whining about this and that. So I think, sian, God it's time for me to repent for like hours and hours le.

I don't expect my life will drastically change to show more compassion for the needy than what I have now. I don't expect to leave everything behind and go off to Africa on missions trips to help them. Cause it's not something that I can just decide and do it. I'm just not that ready for it yet. It probably sounds like an excuse lar, cause it sounds like one to me.

But I thank God because He has been making me aware about this part of my life for a very long time. The part of me that takes for granted what has been given to me. What I've been blessed with. Blessings were never meant for me to keep, but for me to share. Blessings were given to me so that I could be salt and light to the world, or at least to those around me. I never really saw that, but now I'm aware, so the next step will be praying for change. Then maybe I'll be able to better see where I fit in the plan that God has for me.

Btw, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Josh Groban and Annie Lenix(Not sure of her name btw) have such wonderful voices, they give me goosebumps.
