Confidence in weakness

i have this drum student that has a special problem. the first time he came for class n play the drums, i almost cried. the second time, i learned something. third time and so forth, confidence builds.

he has low-IQ and suffers from muscular dystrophy, so my student slurs and plays drums like how i used to imitate a handicapped person play when i'm bored.

but he improved n he's hardworking, he does practice at home when i told him to.. and although i don't see a bright future in him, i sense the potential n teach with gladness.


Sometimes, i see myself in him.

the self-image problem, insecurities, sincerity n simplicity.

when you feel that the whole world looks down on you. When my heart pulls the handbrake at the handicapped car park slot, deep in the secluded corner.



but i slowly have confidence.
Confidence in weakness, because of whom i walk with.


Above the sky, on water.

if world is only a place full of peace and beautiful things then we won't need Jesus to come...

if only the world is a little better then no one will ever have to cry but truly... no righteous man, no one really cares...

that's why you and me, Christians who carry the cross, carry the name, carry the presence make a whole lot of difference in this fading world and light in this dark place...
