Finally got my 12 hours of sleep. It was a tiresome day yesterday. With all the running about in the amazing race and all the shouting and all. Even adding on to a few nights of little sleep and waking up at 0530 to go to school. Running about in school doing admin work for the students. I think OGLs should be given 1 week of rest after the Orientation week. It is just so tired.

I got a lot of sleep and I really enjoy it. But I would be happy with more sleeping time. Tomorrow I have to wake up early again to go to church. I wish service can push back for us all to sleep a little more. Anyway, yesterday watch "Flywheel" in church. For those who knows about cars, you will know what flywheel is about. For me, I do not even care what is it. Car is not my main concern now in this period of time.

The movie is about a second hand car dealer, jay Austin trying to sell his cars at a higher cost. One day, a Reverend bought a car for from jay and jay quoted a high price. But the Reverend still pay that amount and give jay a prayer, that god will treat jay like the way jay treated him. But to the Reverend, jay help him in a good deal. Many a times we thought we have hid the truth well from everyone but God will still see what we are doing. He will have his judgement and his way of it is never what we desire.

After that, it sort of like God speaking to him. It cost a 180 degree change. He treat his family better and change the way his business operates. He even give himself unto god and let god be in charge of his life and his work. God is really great and help him through his every need. It is trying to tell us that when we obey Gods words and do what he want, he will reward us our every need. All we need is to surrender under his reign and call upon his name in our need.

When during the prayer, tears just came out. I let God do the work and I surrender under his will. I commit myself unto his reign and let him take over. I am somewhat like Jay. Sometimes I just have that attitude to myself being in charge and giving everyone a hard time. But in this new year I promise to listen to God in every single aspect. I will let him take over and obey him at all times. Learning to trust him as he is the truth God. I want to experience the miracles he did before in my life.

The flywheel is like the heart in our body. If the flywheel is spoilt, the car will not start. It is the vital part of the engine that keeps it going. If our heart is spoilt, in the sense that it is not right with God nothing else will work. Therefore, we should change our attitude and mindset and let God minister to us in every aspect. To listen to God and not to challenge him. Once our heart is right with God, everything else will fall in place and the grace of God will start flowing.
