Tomorrow's my church friends' wedding (as in both the bride and groom are from my church) and some way or another, the emcee role fell on me.. It wasn't meant to be me but the original emcee couldn't make it.. And I bravely bit the bullet and agreed to it haha..
It's my first time emceeing a wedding, and furthermore it's in mandarin! So exciting! Ha.. I feel excited.. As if I am getting married haha..
Yah I am still poring through my script, and hoping I won't screw up tomorrow. I definitely wouldn't want to draw unnecessary attention to myself.. So that's why I am not exactly in the studying mood..
Speaking about studying, the stress level is slowly but surely increasing.. I am counting down already.. And for all the medicine people out there, it's going to be double digit counting down soon.. I don't feel prepared at all..
But I am thankful to God that my surgery SIP has been manageable so far and we have had the opportunity to go around seeing cases and practising our examination techniques.. Though there is not much time to read up on what we have seen..
And my thumb drive had to crash that day.. All my typed out ortho notes are inside, and I haven't backed up my files.. Hard lesson learnt.. But I am still praying that I will be able to retrieve my files.. Though 2 computer shops have pronounced the "death sentence" on my files.. But a third opinion from Nic says that there might still be hope.. so I am keeping my fingers crossed.. and meanwhile, I am backing up my files on my home desktop, my laptop and my new thumb drive.. That's called once bitten, twice shy..
Just want to share this Christian song with you, one of the songs we will be singing at the wedding tomorrow.. It reminds me of who I am as a Christian and what Jesus has done for me.. That a sinner like me has done nothing to deserve God's mercy.. Yet He has freely poured out his love unto me.. I am grateful and satisfied.. I am also thankful that even at times when I was disobedient and drew away from Him, His love doesn't fail and He continues to draw near to me.. Thank you Lord..
How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
