God, as I have said, did many wonderful things in my life, so much so that I'm accustomed to hearing His voice. Yesterday, my mother fell sick. She got severe rashes, fever, and flu. I was at Danielle's birthday celebration, but had to leave early as my dad planned to pick her home with me.
Today after church, I told my friends and cell leader that because she is unwell, I want to leave early to ask on her. I asked God if He could help me quicken my journey home, and I somewhat got the idea of walking faster, or I'll have to run.
I managed to catch the MRT from EXPO just as it was about to leave.
At Tanah Merah MRT station, 1minute was all I had to wait for the train to arrive.
At Tampines MRT Station, I was told to walk even faster.
I found myself running after bus 27, which was a direct bus to the street I stayed at.
And thus, with smooth traffic, I took around 35 minutes to reach home. And by then I saw that my mother had almost recovered, and was fit enough to work normally.
Praise God.

Long time no post here already. From the previous post till now, all my other posts are put
here.
Back to business.
This post is about the annual band test, compulsory for all band-its. It was my turn today. I knew that God was with me right from the time I learnt the instrument, and so He was today.
I sat down in the test room, and I was supposed to be nervous, but I wasn't.
Earlier today, the thought of 'birthday' kept on ringing through my mind. I couldn't make out what that was for.
Just before my seniors told me to start, I had a feeling that Concert Bb was going to be tested, and it was - for interval studies, quavers in staccato, 2 octaves (so many conditions). And immediately after that, I was running through the scale of Concert B, where every note is sharpened (and thus the playing is more difficult to perfect). Just as I finished running through the scale, my seniors told me:
"Play erm..Concert B, minims 1 octave."
And so I did. With a few mistakes though.
The set piece was also saw guidance from the Lord.
I practised one part of the piece very thoroughly, because I knew I had to practise that part, and it got tested. And after that little segment was tested, my eyes chanced upon part 'J' of the piece. And a few seconds later, that got tested as well.
The sight reading piece was given to me 5 minutes before entering the test venue.
Remember that I just said, during the course of the day, the word 'birthday' kept on popping up in my mind? My birthday's on the 7th of July. I was born in the night (20:47).
The sight reading piece was entitled 'The Seventh Night of July'.
The power of God, isn't it just so amazing.
