Random

Just recalled something that someone said which was quite interesting.Cos i went for service on Sunday, then Jasper,who was giving the sermon, mentioned this story which i thought really encouraging n meaningful.
There was this little boy, who was about 5yrs old.He was just starting to learn piano, then his mum decided to bring him to watch a piano concert to "enhance" his interest.So this piano concert was by a famous pianist named B(pls pardon me, i forgot the name, only rmbered that it started with the letter B).On that day of concert, the two of them went early and found their seats. As the mother looked around, she spotted someone familiar and decided to go over to talk to that person.She told her son,"I'm going over there to talk to my friend.You stay here and don't wander about alrite?"So she went over, but her son, being really curious, took a walk. He walked and walked till he reached the backstage.There was this sign outside the door, saying "NO ADMITTANCE"Well, the boy, being only 5yrs old, didn't understand what was the meaning of admittance, so he pushed open the door and went in. As he continued to walking, he saw this amazing grand piano. It was so much different from the keyboard at his house. So he went and sat on the chair that was in front of the piano and he started playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars. He just played and played. Now, back to the mum. She was talking to her friend and when she wanted to introduce her son to the friend, she realised that he was missing!So she walked about the concert hall looking for him. At this time, the concert was about to start and the curtains drew open. Then she realised that her son is on stage, still playing the piano. The whole hall became very silent as they were shocked to see a 5yr-old boy playing TTLS on the piano on the stage. Now, the master pianist,B, came on stage, and took a bow at the audience. Then he looked over at the piano and walked over. The master told the young boy to continue playing his TTLS. What the master did was to play accompaniment to the young boy.That night, all the audience were left in awe cos it was the most melodious piece of music they have ever heard. The innocence of the young boy together with the "pro-ness" of the master pianist was simply perfect.
Then Jasper ended off with this: For those having exams, esp the O's and A's, just go into the exam hall and do what you can, like the young boy. Leave the rest to the master, God. And He will handle everything and it will turn out perfect.
A tiny reflection of my own: Perhaps it wun turn out as perfect as we want things to be, but i guess we just have to put in our best and trust that God is there to handle the situation :)

"So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" - Isaiah 41:10
"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." - Isaiah 40:29
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in path of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever" - Psalm 23
"we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perserverance; perserverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, becaused God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom he has given us" - Romans 5:3-5
