With Great Reward, Comes Great Sacrifice

At this stage of my very life

Kids Sunday School teacher Anuska just taught the kids and me a very important concept

"With Great Reward, Comes Great Sacrifice"

 Although a simple phrase like that, probably means:

Sacrifice= Be obedient and quiet, listen to the teachers

Reward= Gummy Babies

To the kids...

To me, it means a little bit more~

I've always been a person who wants to get things done quickly, and somehow sometimes expected to see the result immediately

I embrace the "get things done quickly" spirit in a way that it keeps me awake

But this attitude can't be used in every situation

Sometimes, patience plays an important role

Sometimes, good things are worth waiting for

Sometimes, you just have to wait!

Patience, slow to anger, tolerance, keeping composure

They're all related, in a way that they test your ability to WAIT

With this knee injury

It comes together with a lesson of "Obedience and Patience"

Temptations are all over the place

The sound of bouncing basketball is enough to fire me up

The combo sight of ball+rim, you can imagine...

How I wished I can play~~~

I violated the "REST" rule...I have to wait longer now

God's teaching me a lesson I guess...

To WAIT, for every good things in life~

From old friend siewmay, I've learned the way to put this patience thing to use

She's a girl with tremendous patience and love for others

Putting others first, and ownself last

That's not easy and yet she demonstrated this to me everyday

If not with great ease, it's with great sacrifice

I've never thought that we would meet this way this time in Australia

Somehow, God brought her here, even at some point it was almost completely hopeless for her to come already

I'm grateful for a friend like this, a friend who understands

I'm glad I'm surrounded by friends who exchange hearts, who truly cares

What more can I ask for really? :)
