My school went for a choir competition today, we've been preparing for it for weeks.. skipping classes and staying back in school almost every single day.. we are quite well prepared and we were quite confident as well.. we thought things will turn out good.. we thought we can get into the finals.. It wasn't a joke at all when i say we really put our hearts into it.. but it just ended like that.. our journey just ended like that the moment the results are out.. We couldn't get into the finals..

But did the journey really ended there?
No.

Even though we couldn't get into the finals, i was still glad i spend much time and effort on it. Because i am happy to be with them and to spend time with them.

During that period of time when i first join the choir. I thought it will be another rubbish that my friend pulled me into. And i was having a hard time too. Dealing with all my emotions and feelings. I hardly could imagine how things could turn out to be good, especially when I know that I am not a good singer and I am not good at dealing with people to be honest. Lol I was almost ready to blame my friend for wasting my time. But still I hope that God would bring something good out of this.

And indeed God is good.

God had brought me many friends in school. Younger ones that I can reach out to. People that I can reach out. Knowing people that belongs to the Lord yet i never know before. Finding out many things that I never know. Getting closer with my own friends. Taught how to sing properly in choir. So much things happened. And of course got to visit my friends' school for the first time. lol. all in all, it was good. Although we didn't win, but I believe things that were meant to be are meant to be. I believe that God don't simply make things to just happen.

So no matter where you got yourself to.. the journey never ended. There could be sadness, pain, wrong steps, thing that you never wished it happened too. But as long as you are looking heavenward and loving and trusting Him.. You can fully trust God that He will bring you through it all.. All things happened for a purpose.. And God can use it for good.

You just walked passed a street that was filthy in your eyes. But like the bible says, All things are made beautiful in its time. So no matter what you go through..

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6
