My eyebrows have been twitching irritatingly non-stop this past week. I would think it's a depressed nerve, and some people would say that someone is thinking very hard of me, but in some sense, I feel like something big, or life changing, or traumatic is going to happen. I just pray that whatever happens, God will be present to see us through it.

I got the official letter of acceptance into the masters programme today and while I am excitied about starting term, it turns out the supervisor allocated is a professor whom I completely do not know nor worked with, so that is a little scary, but I suppose everything happens in its own time and everything has its own reason for being.

It has been a tiring few days. My health of late has become increasingly wonky. The bladder is still not functioning as well as it should, the increased water intake has caused me to swell up with slight water retention, and the eczema on the legs is not exactly going away... I'll be visiting a polyclinic after work tomorrow, to see if I can get some referral to the National Skin Centre. Somehow, I have a feeling it might be linked to blood-sugar levels. I probably need to do an overall health check, which in some ways I'm glad for MA admission, because prior to admission, I would need to undergo a full body health check up.

Sunday also saw me conducting for the first time. While it is scary and I can't keep timing for nuts, nor do I have the necessary musical knowledge to read notes or to play a musical instrument, I have somehow become the assistant conductor to EMM. Nonetheless, the song I conducted was Thank You Lord for the Trials and I cannot help but think how apt the song is. I'm taking it as a sign that this is probably what God wants me to do for now, as this song was also E's first song playing the bass and S's first song on the drums. I am also struck by the lines, "thank you Lord for the trials that come my way, that I may grow each day, as I let You lead..." If this is what God wants me to do, He will provide me the necessary skills and the strength to carry out His will. I can only grow, if I let Him lead.
